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 of 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 printer's highest resolution of 1440 x 2880 DPI

Pigment ink: EPSON HDX colours

• We print with 11 different pigment inks

• With the aid of violet, the UltraChrome HDX pigments can produce a wide palette of vibrant colours as well as deep, rich black tones and dense shadow areas
• The new Photo Black ink has up to 1.5 times higher pigment concentration compared to previous inks, resulting in deeper black tones. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks have been developed for long durability. In particular, the weaknesses of the earlier HDR inks have been eliminated in the yellow area. 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 remedies this weakness [...].
• Henry Wilhelm ofWilhelm Imaging Research writes about the new HDX inks: "The data measured so far shows that - depending on the paper used - the new inks offer lifespans 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 terms of visual brilliance of both colour and black and white images. [...] The generally improved print performance is a significant contribution to photography."

With the large colour space and high colour density, extraordinary colour and black/white nuances are achieved and three-dimensionality is attained.
• The paper is certified for giclée printing like our Epson printers

hahnemühle German Etching 310gsm

• hahnemühle German Etching is a copper print paper manufactured using the traditional round sieve method.

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