Brief Description: Piezography Special Edition K7 for the EPSON Stylus Photo 2880 - includes a unique Piezography ink set, CIS, and Hanemuhle paper sampler.
Great ink ! beautiful B&W prints - hi res , amazing details in highlights , beautiful gradations and depth.
From my experience of few years with the ink it is more reliable then the original epson ink on the 3800 and we are going to dedicate soon a 9900 for B&W prints with the special edition inks .
I would recommend the ink for anyone trying to get that unique great look of a dark room print with a digital workflow.

I was one of the early customers of Cone Editions. Their products, ideas, and philosophy have always impressed me. Rather than sitting on past successes, they keep moving forward. The Special Edition I have for the 1400 is no exception. The tones are smooth, rich, and, well placed. It truly does look like a high quality platinum print...but with more! The help and advice is also important. At first I had a bum printer. Dana very patiently talked me through all the troubleshooting steps. After I switched out the printer the system worked to perfection. I am now in the process of getting a 3880 with the Glossy setup. Can't wait to see what comes next! Great people...Great products.

I just want to let you know how wonderful the Piezography Special Edition inks that I am now using are. They are smooth, pure, translucentÉ gorgeous! I am sure you remember Agfa Portrega Rapid. I used that paper for years and loved it when Selenium toned. Well, these inks and Canson Rag Photographique look like toned Portrega. I just did a 20 print series to send to the Guggenheim. I have never been happier with work I have sent off. And the dither! There were a couple of images I was trying to do with ImagePrint and I couldn't get the sky (a smooth, dark grey) to print without streaks. With the Piezography workflow, those problem areas are gone! Absolutely smooth tones!!!!

It's hard for me to conceive of ever putting a Piezography print under glass. The sensuous luxury of tonalities would be obscured. Holding a Piezography print in your hands and marveling at the surface and depth should be enough for anyone who appreciates a fine print. That's more than enough for me.

This is a drop dead gorgeous set of inks that gets "wow" reactions from professional photographers I've shown prints to at ICP, for example. It just has a subtle transition of the tones that works well with almost all of my street and fine art work, in particular the latter. Next going to print a Cuba portfolio with this for example, to show at a local gallery.
I've never had a problem with clogging with this ink even letting it sit for a couple of weeks unused. I also follow Jon's recommendations on using flush cartridges when I don't print for long periods as that has proven easy to do and works perfectly for restarting the printers. Now use it in a 4800 as well.
Couldn't recommend it more highly to anyone who started with silver gelatin and wants to recapture the magic look of lucious black and white prints.
