Digital BW, The Print

Well, here is the definition of Piezography from Jon's web site.  If one
desires, there is much more to read.

What is Piezography? 

Piezography is a brand of monochromatic inks and software that produce what
is unarguably the absolute
<http://www.piezography.com/site/long-dynamic-range.html> highest-standard
in black and white printing. It was first introduced as a Trademarked brand
in 2000 and has gone through successive improvements and changes over the
years. It is a process that is constantly exceeding the capabilities of the
printers on which it is implemented. Piezography is developed by Jon Cone in
the village of East Topsham, Vermont, USA who first introduced monochromatic
inkjet printing at PhotoPlus Expo in NYC in 1998. His monochromatic inkjet
systems were initially designed for IRIS Graphics printers in 1993.

So, I think that David might well be correct in that Piezography does indeed
refer to the name of the inks.  However, please note that the definition and
claims seem to extend to "software".

I am guessing that gallery learned a buzzword and want to use it.

Tell them that Piezography is just one company's term for carbon inks and
that you use carbon inks too, just not that brand.

For some reason, a gallery where I am willing to exhibit asks for
Piezography prints; I actually use MIS MK BO. Is it an easy switch to use
Jon Cone's Piezography Shade 1 as a replacement ? Would I need new profiles
?
