Jerry,

Piezography is a brand-name of a complete system of
quadtone products and drivers/profiles used with the
inks.

Piezography = price, excellent quality when it works.
Roark = same high quality but with greater
flexibility, much more cost effective.

The advantage, if you are using UT2, is that you can
print an image completely neutral; very similar in
tone to an Ilford fiber base paper (or, with controls
you can have the look of Agfa warmtone papers).  The
images print without colorcasts and are tonally
smooth.

With the same cartridge you can print images using
carbon only which imparts a traditional platinum look.
 Check Paul's site for more information, it also shows
a great example of the many print tones available with
one cartridge.  You can go pretty sepia with this set
if you really want to.

UT2 is the most superior quadtone product available. 
And it is extremely fade resistant - so long that it
isn't worth mentioning.  Just print and smile.

Don

P.S.

Comparative cost of quadtone systems for the 1280:

Piezography ICC with CIS, $724.95 (without printer)
MIS UT2 with CIS + NEW 1280, $615
