Re: piezography

Hi,

Here is some context:

Iris printers started in the early 90s and they are high quality 4 color
inkjet devices. Companies like Nash Editions (http://www.nasheditions.com/)
were pioneers in using these devices for fine art prints.

By the late 90s consumer inkjet printers (epson, HP, etc) had achieved sufficient
quality that people experimented with creating monochrome inksets for use
in these printers. MIS and Piezo are two of the best (IMHO).

I like these processes which start with a negative, get a high quality scan,
digital darkroom (precise dodging, burning, contrast control, etc. in photoshop),
and then I have a reproducible art print.

From MIS site -- "Specially formulated archival inks have been developed
by MIS for printing black and white images. The quality of the images is
far superior to using the Epson color inks. The black to white range is
increased and the visible dots are greatly reduced, if not eliminated."
