Archival Art Monochrome and Color Prints

Monochrome Piezography Carbon Pigment Inks

Since 2002, I have dedicated my printmaking practice to the use of Piezography Carbon Pigment inks, a methodology that exemplifies the highest standards in black-and-white printmaking. Developed and refined by Jon Cone of Cone Editions Press, Piezography is universally recognized as the most archival and tonally accurate monochrome printing system currently in use.

My fine art prints are produced utilizing a converted Epson Inkjet printer, specifically customized to operate exclusively with Piezography carbon pigment monochrome inks. Unlike conventional inkjet systems that employ dye or composite pigments, this process involves the application of multiple shades of pure carbon, thereby achieving exceptional tonal depth and seamless gradations. The resulting image in black and white combines the delicacy of fine silver gelatin prints with the permanence and richness of pure carbon.

Equally essential is my choice of paper. I print exclusively on Canson papers, manufactured by one of the world’s oldest paper mills, which has been in continuous operation since the 1500s. I utilize Canson Rdition Etching Rag a beautifully textured, museum-quality paper that perfectly complements the depth and subtlety of Piezography carbon. The combination of Piezography inks and Canson papers produces prints characterized by exceptional durability — verified to sustain stability over several centuries without fading. Achieving this standard of quality and longevity is uncommon, ensuring confidence that your investment in my artwork will be valued by future generations.
