Digital BW, The Print

Not to beat the subject to death, but note that Jon developed a new ink set
that supplanted PiezographyBW Inks..ConeTech PiezoTone Inks..one might
suspect that the general term of Piezography is now the general term for
"digital ink jet black and white printing"  using dedicated black inks sets
in a similar way that "Kleenex" and "Xerox" are used to define a given range
of products and/or processes.

 

Again.I am not a patent attorney!

 

2002 - PiezoToneT inks.
PiezographyBW inks were introduced in March, 2000 as a carbon pigment/dye
mixture in a strong co-solvent base. Although contemporary at its release,
it has been replaced by a new generation of quad black inks offering
significantly better technology resulting in greatly increased longevity,
color stability, and printer performance. This new ink family is called
ConeTech PiezoTone and replaces the now discontinued PiezographyBW inks.
PiezoTone inks are a 100% pure pigment ink and are offered in 4 different
hue/tone families.

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

 

http://www.piezography.com/What_is_Piezograpy_site.html 

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
?
