Pure Pigment Inks for Legendary Quality and Unprecedented Longevity

Piezography Neutral K7 is the first 100% pure-pigment, neutral ink-set offering the ultimate in quality and increased fidelity for fine art black and white printing. This pure pigment solution contains no dyes and is not designed for glossy papers. Each of the seven inks is a perfectly neutral gray, so that the user's choice of paper can determine the "color" of the print. Pure pigment inks work best on matte papers, which offer no-compromise longevity.

“Piezography Neutral K7 is as near perfect an ink as is possible today. The shape of the pigment particles is now perfected. The vehicle retards fading even better, although with our pure pigment PiezoTone inks we were already at less than human perceptible fade. Still there was room to improve and we have” said Cone. Designed for use with QuadTone RIP, a $50 shareware by Roy Harrington which is avalable for both Mac OS X and Windows.

Seven Dilutions for Ultimate Quality

Piezography Neutral K7 is unique in offering seven dilutions for ultimate quality. The introduction of printers with seven or more channels of ink has given us the opportunity to move from four dilutions of gray to seven. While others have chosen to utilize these extra channels to offer warm/cool "toners", we are using these positions to increase print-quality. All seven of the Piezography Neutral K7 inks are used when making a print, which results in a print of the highest quality. Smoother tonal transitions and a completely dotless print are the hallmarks of Piezography Neutral K7 printing.

Piezography Neutral K7 beta tester Jed Best had the following comments regarding the system: “This new system if unbelievably easy to use. There was no clogging of the print heads; it was effortless. In a word WOW. The resolution is great; I have compared these images to some of my previously printed images that were created using a professional RIP to these images and the resolution is much, much better. With the K7 inks I am now able to see shadow details that I couldn’t with previous inksets. It is almost as if you can touch the image.”
