Piezography on Japanese Washi: A Unique Approach to Fine Art Printmaking

While many photographers and artists choose popular papers like Baryta and Smooth Cotton for Piezography—renowned for their exceptional monochrome rendering—we take printmaking a step further by introducing the exquisite beauty of Japanese Washi paper paired with Piezo inks.

Each paper has its own distinctive character, demanding precise calibration to achieve the perfect synergy between ink and substrate. That’s why we meticulously select premium Japanese Washi papers, specially crafted for high-quality digital inkjet printing with Piezography. Made from natural fibers and pure mountain water, these papers offer a unique tactile elegance while ensuring museum-grade archival quality. Completely acid-free, they meet the highest standards for long-term preservation—making them an exceptional choice for photographers, artists, and designers seeking both aesthetic refinement and durability.

Precision Calibration for Exceptional Prints

Each paper we use is meticulously calibrated by our print specialists. Through precise measurement of ink patches and careful setting of ink limits for every individual paper, we ensure the perfect amount of ink is applied. This process allows us to achieve maximum black density without exceeding the paper’s absorption capacity, resulting in prints with exceptional depth and detail.

Piezography utilizes multiple shades of gray inks, and determining the optimal overlap between the darkest black and the lightest gray is crucial. We meticulously adjust the highlight and shadow points for each gray channel, ensuring every print delivers the highest monochrome image quality across our full range of Washi papers.

Why Choose Piezography?

Unlike traditional methods that rely on a limited 3-step gray ink system to produce continuous tones, Piezography employs seven distinct shades of gray (100% pigment inks) to create monochrome prints. This advanced technique delivers unparalleled sharpness, extraordinarily smooth gradations, and highly detailed shadows and highlights. The exceptional archival quality of Piezography further enhances the value of each piece, particularly on matte papers, where the texture and fine details of the subject are faithfully reproduced.

Unmatched Detail and Tone Reproduction with Piezography

The Piezography system combines up to seven shades of carbon-based pigment inks, each meticulously formulated to deliver unparalleled detail and tonal accuracy. Our proprietary media profiles are specifically designed to optimize these inks, ensuring superior performance without compromising tone reproduction. This advanced approach results in smoother gradations, particularly in skin tones, enhanced shadow and highlight detail, and a significantly broader range of gray levels compared to traditional systems like Epson’s Advanced Black and White (ABW) mode.

Piezography’s multi-ink system allows for finer control over the entire tonal spectrum, from the deepest blacks to the most delicate highlights. This precision ensures that every print captures the full depth and nuance of the original image, making it an ideal choice for fine art photographers and printmakers who demand the highest quality. Additionally, the carbon-based inks used in Piezography are renowned for their archival stability, ensuring that your prints remain vibrant and true for generations.
