Digital BW, The Print

It is too bad you see green with your PiezoBW system and that it is a disappointment for you.   

I just framed (12) 11x14 prints today on a variety of papers all made with PiezoBW inks.  Each one is lovely.  No green at all.  Some of the blacks must be seen to be believed because of the richness and depth.  On a few of the images, the skin tones "glow" and contrasted with the black velvety background on a few, the impression is of great texture and depth.    All of these prints have been seen by over a dozen people in different lighting environments and no one sees green at all.  They all comment on the rich tones of grey and the luminous skin and the velvet black which because it is printed on a matte paper...looks like real velvet...not some plasticky RC surface gloss.  

But maybe you just had a little bad luck or a bad printer or bad karma.  

I say this because when or if you get a Piezo system that works, you will not want to switch.  It can be that good. 

Good luck, 

Steadman

  Thanks for the feedback Joe.

  Too bad the piezography system is disappointing.  Do you get the 
  green cast results with all papers you've tried?

  Prior to the piezography system did you have any luck with other inks 
  and workflows?
