Piezography Custom Profiling is now available in two forms. Normal Piezography curves as we have always made, and the new Type 2 Curve. The custom profiling procedure is exactly the same with the exception of the target, which is printed.

Type 2 profiles are for photographers who prefer darker shadow, so that it more closely approximates a display that is calibrated too bright. You can follow this description to the download link to see the 23 page manual to gain a full understanding of the process. But if you think Piezography prints too light, you're either a candidate for a higher quality display calibration or a Type 2 curve.

You may wish to have a custom Piezography curve made if:

• A printer is too far out of spec and does not produce a good result with the "canned" K6 and K7 curves.
• As a printer's print heads begin aging the size of the drops produced is not always as accurate as intended.
• A printer’s print head has become too old to produce microdots.
• The user wishes to print on a paper that has not been profiled.
• The media manufacturers sometimes change their media coatings slightly, which changes the expected results of a “profile”.
• A user is in an unusually high or low elevation in comparison to East Topsham, Vermont (860 feet above sea level.)
• A user wishes to have a glossy compatible Piezography MPS profile.
• A user may wish to have a perfected system for their particular printer.

Custom Selenium MPS glossy profile

You need to install MPS Black and Selenium shades into your printer. Print the target. Your target and finished prints must be sprayed with Lumijet to eliminate bronzing and equalize the gloss. Some users are finding a way to overprint with our GO, but we do not provide direct support or profiling for GO. We just provide GO (gloss optimizer).

Please download the custom profiling package before or after you make your purchase. It includes a very informative 23 page manual about custom profiling and calibration. Remember to write your order number on top of the printed target!
