Are you keeping up with all our news?
Two blog entries this week. One on InkjetMall Blog where we explain the mysteries of our desktop refillable cartridges' reset function. The other is on the Piezography Blog where we show MacOS users how to get similar output from K7 curves using Photoshop CS4 or CS5 that will match versions CS3 and earlier.
We're having a bottle sale through the weekend - so stock up! The prices are already reduced on the website on single bottles of ConeColor and Piezography inks.
If you're keeping up with us on our Piezography FaceBook page, you may have noted that I am planning a trip to the darkroom next week. I am going to hammer out (hopefully) Piezography based digital film negatives with a follow my example workflow process from computer to film to silver print.
And I also mentioned being in Canon sub-buffer hell... Piezography on Canon is going slow as the printers have a sub-buffer of nearly 30ml of ink that it uses to shoot back up into the ink tanks to keep them agitated. The sub-buffer is not drained nor flushed during any documented maintenance procedures.
We are working on a way to see if a non-virgin printer can be utilized by finding a way to get these sub-buffers drained and flushed. On the progress front, the Piezography profiler for TrueBW is complete and is working for all 12 ink positions.
I'll take the time to get this non-virgin printer approach sorted out. I can't expect Canon customers to buy brand new printers for use with Piezography no matter how compelling the new system may be. It's worth the delay in our target date to find a way to relieve the sub-buffer of its color inks. We have our printer completely torn down now to follow the flow of ink in all maintenance routines and draining operations (auto and manual). The printer is an amazing piece of engineering. Fingers crossed!
