  • Signature is sign with 100% pure graphite pencils to ensure the longest longevity.
  • Pure graphite rather than graphite mixed with clay, dye or pigment has a bond on paper that is stronger than the paper itself. The bond in pure graphite is much stronger, due to the electrostatic and mild chemical force properties.

Other Notes

Inks and Prints Used

  • Genuine Canon PFI-1000 Lucia Pro 11 Color + Color Optimizer Pigment Inks
  • Printer | Canon Pixma Pro-1000
  • First Fine ART Prints were done with the Canon Pixma Pro 100. It’s Remains as backup Printers as of right now. Canon CLI-42 (The Pro-100) is rated about 100 years more than the PFI-1000 (Pro-1000). Pigments often produce far better color accuracy, but in this case it’s indistinguishable between CLI-42 and PFI-1000. Also, over time pigment tends to bleed more than ink. Only a trained eye can tell the difference. The Pixma Pro-100 is a last resort solution at times of reality errors. I will leave a message if that’s the case and a ZHorsch Apology Print of the same image.
  • Further upgrades will be announced.
