Piezography Prints

Piezography, also known as carbon pigment inkjet printing, is a monochrome black and white printing process that works with up to 10 shades of gray. The process was first developed by Jon Cone in 2000 and has been continuously developed ever since. The inks are made from carbon pigments, which give the print exceptional durability. Thanks to the fine gradation of the inks, a resolution and appearance is achieved that is on a par with analog printing processes, which cannot be achieved with any other inkjet printing process.

The maximum print width is 112 cm.

Piezography Warm Neutral is part of the K7 ink set and offers slightly warm gray tones with a look and feel reminiscent of platinum-palladium prints. This ink set contains up to seven shades of gray made from pure carbon pigments, achieving exceptionally high resolution and great depth that remains virtually unchanged throughout the life of the print.

Piezography Pro is a newer system developed in 2017 and designed for printers with 9 or 11 ink channels. It features two sets of inks (warm and cool tones) that can be mixed to create more than a million unique tonal combinations to achieve countless color shades from warm to neutral to cool. This ink system, equally suitable for matte and glossy papers, includes up to 10 shades of grey (five warm and five cool) and a gloss optimizer for even gloss on glossy papers.

Our digital negatives for Platinum-Palladium Prints are also produced using the piezography process. Thousands of gray values can be mapped in the negative and transferred to the platinum-palladium print, resulting in unsurpassed photographic reproduction. Digital negatives can also be produced for other photographic processes using the contact process, for example for fine art printing processes such as cyanotype, salt printing, albumen or Van Dyke prints.
