Over the last 20 years, archival pigment ink prints have become the medium of choice for professional fine art and photographic reproduction. A pigment ink print — sometimes called a giclée — is a fine art digital print made on a professional inkjet printer.
Piezography is a dedicated black-and-white print system that uses carbon-based monochrome inks to produce stunning archival prints. We use a large-format Epson printer fitted with the Piezography Pro ink-set: black inks with cool, neutral and warm characteristics that can be blended very precisely into a vast range of neutral or toned monochrome prints with remarkable range and depth.
This is the next step in the evolution of black-and-white printing.
What makes the Imacon 949 such a great scanner are two elements: the film holder and the CCD.
The 949’s CCD is Peltier-cooled, reducing scan noise significantly. A light diffuser spreads the light, filling scratches in the film — cutting down the post-processing required.
The film is curved around an arc — a virtual drum — creating a perfectly flat plane for the scanner to focus on. Other scanners don’t keep the film completely flat, causing slight focus anomalies toward the centre of the scan.
The Expression 12000XL Pro’s optical density of 3.8 DMax and 48-bit colour depth ensure sharp, accurate scanning and full reproduction of the widest range of colours, even in shadow areas.
Its high 2400 × 4800 dpi resolution and ultra-precise Micro Step Drive technology capture even the tiniest details with exceptional clarity.
Piezography — traditionally an inkjet-based monochrome carbon printing process — can be adapted to create ultra-high-resolution digital negatives for traditional darkroom printing.
Through a dedicated system known as PiezoDN, negatives are printed on inkjet transparency film using professional Epson printers and specialised monochrome inks, then contact printed onto silver gelatin paper.
