Piezography® – Premium Black & White Printing

Piezography is a special black-and-white printing process that creates stunning, high-quality prints using five to seven shades of gray ink. This method, developed by Jon Cone in 2000, uses pure carbon pigments, making the prints incredibly long-lasting.

Unlike standard inkjet printing, Piezography produces smooth tonal transitions and deep, rich blacks that closely resemble traditional darkroom prints—something no other inkjet process can achieve.

At our studio, we print with Piezography-Pro inks on both glossy and matte fine art papers, including a selection of premium Japanese inkjet papers. Each paper type is carefully adjusted with a custom printing curve to ensure the best possible results.

One of the unique features of Piezography-Pro is its ability to blend warm and cool tones, allowing us to fine-tune the look of each print. This means we can achieve a wide range of subtle tones in the highlights, midtones, and shadows, giving your black-and-white images a beautifully balanced and expressive finish.

Since its release in 2016, Piezography-Pro has set the gold standard for fine-art monochrome printing, offering the deepest blacks (dMax), the finest details, and the smoothest tonal transitions available today.

Digital negatives

We also create digital negatives using the same high-quality inks, printing them on Pictorico Ultra Premium Transparency Film.

This means you can take a digital file and turn it into a transparent negative, which can then be used for traditional alternative printing methods like platinum/palladium, silver gelatin, and cyanotype.

Because we use thousands of shades of gray, our digital negatives capture incredible detail and smooth tonal transitions, ensuring the highest-quality reproduction for your prints.
