Detailed information on the materials used and their suitability for long-term archiving

Photo printer: EPSON SureColor 9000V Spectro

• The SureColor SC-P9000V is the printer with the most accurate colour reproduction on the entire printer market¹
• It features Epson TFP PrecisionCore print heads and pigment inks with orange, green and violet as additional colours
• We print at the highest resolution of the printer at 1440 x 2880 DPI

Pigment ink: EPSON HDX colours

• We print with 11 different pigment inks

• With the help of violet, the UltraChrome HDX pigments can produce a large palette of vibrant colours as well as deep, rich black tones and dense shadow areas
• The new Photo Black ink features up to 1.5 times higher pigment concentration compared to previous inks, resulting in deeper black tones. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks were developed for long durability. Particularly in the yellow range, the weaknesses of the earlier HDR inks were eliminated. Mark McCormick-Goodhart, Director of Aardenburg Imaging and Archives writes: "Yellow was by far the weakest link [for pigment stability]. The new HDX ink set corrects this weakness [...].
• Henry Wilhelm  from Wilhelm Imaging Research writes about the new HDX inks: "The data measured so far shows that - depending on the paper used - the new inks offer longevity of up to 200 years for colour prints, and probably over 400 years for black and white prints. [...] “The larger Dmax, the larger colour space and the reduced metamerism through the new Epson UltraChrome HDX pigments represent a major advance in visual brilliance of both colour and black and white images. [...] The generally better performance of the prints is a significant contribution to photography."

The Proof.de fine art papers:

hahnemühle Photo Rag Pearl 320gr/qm

• The natural white paper with a grammage of 320 gr/qm consists of 100% cotton, is free of optical brighteners and is reminiscent of a warm-toned baryta paper. With the large colour space and high colour density, extraordinary colour and black/white nuances are achieved and three-dimensionality is created.
• The paper is certified for digigraphy, like our Epson printer

hahnemühle German Etching 310gr/qm

• hahnemühle German Etching is a copper printing paper produced using the traditional round sieve process.

The unique surface texture gives motifs something very special and lets them shine in impressive three-dimensionality and depth. The matt premium inkjet coating guarantees outstanding print results with excellent colour and detail reproduction, deep black and the best contrasts. 
• German Etching is acid- and lignin-free and meets the highest requirements for ageing resistance. This high-volume fine art inkjet paper is one of the most popular media for fine art and art reproductions due to its distinctive tactile quality and surface texture.
• We print on German Etching with our "Matte Black" ink to achieve even better depth rendering on the paper
