Piezography, Carbon Tone, 700ml, Shade 5
SKU: PZK7-CBN-700-5Piezography Carbon has the distinction of being the most lightfast ink ever tested at the Aardenburg Image Archives. It is the only ink set that is outpacing all HP, Canon and Epson inks. Piezography Carbon is literally unaffected by long-term exposure to light. It should be. It's carbon. However, we consider it to be over-the-top in terms of fade-resistance. Because all Piezography ink sets are super fade-resistant, we beleive that you should choose this because you love warm prints!

Carbon's warmth can be cooled by printing on cooler white papers. JonCone Studio Type 2 is probably the best paper to print Carbon on for matte. But, you'll have to find your tone that you prefer by testing on different paper whites.
Soft proof: Carbon K7 on Epson Exhibition Fiber |
Carbon inks are perfectly formulated (one shade at a time) so that the color tone *ab values are very close from shade to shade which results in a very linear, photographic warmth.It's a very precise way to express a Carbon photograph without the illusion used by color inks. It is very monochromatic (yet toned.)
Soft proof: Carbon K7on Canson Rag Photographique |
Like all Piezography ink sets, this ink is metamerism-free and has an encapsulated pigment particle that is unique amongst all third-party inks and is considered as non-clogging as the OEM. When printing on matte papers, the Shade 1 Mstte Black is used. When printing on non-matte papers (including Baryta papers), the Shade 1 Photo Black is used in conjunction with Piezography Gloss Overprint.

This ink set is designed to be used with the Piezography media profiles and QuadTone RIP. Please see the Instructions tab for a full explanation of its use.You can expect to reach a dMax of 1.65 on matte papers such as JonCone Studio Type2 and Hahnemuhle Photo Rag. When glossy printing according to our directions you can reach dMax levels as high as 2.80. Piezography Glossy produces a finish in which you will not be able to tell where the inks end and the paper begins. When used as directed, it produces a uniform surface without any gloss differential nor bronzing.
This ink set can also produce the highest standard digital negatives with the optional PiezoDN software. Using multiple shades of black ink produces tens of thousands of more gray levels than when using color inks to produce digital negatives. You'll benefit by the same higher acuity, smoothness of tone, and shadow and highlight detail that Piezography inks give to printing. With PiezoDN software, you can expand the the dynamic range of your medium in the same way Piezography expands the dynmaic range of fine black & white printmaking.
