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 highest resolution of the printer at 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 large palette of vibrant colours as well as deep, rich blacks and dense shadow areas
• The new Photo Black ink has up to 1.5 times higher pigment concentration compared to previous inks, providing deeper blacks. 
• UltraChrome HDX inks were developed for long durability. In particular, the weaknesses of the earlier HDR inks in the yellow range have been eliminated. Mark McCormick-Goodhart, Director of Aardenburg Imaging and Archives writes: "Yellow has been by far the weakest link [for pigment stability]. The new HDX ink set remedies 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 longevities 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 due to 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 better performance of the prints is a significant contribution to photography."
