Formally known as Sepia K7. I believe that designation ÒsepiaÓ was a psychologically limiting description in that these ultra-subtle warm carbon dilutions are in no way related to the bright red-yellow color that one may by habit associate with sepia toning and the like from darkroom days, thus the updating of the name recently to simply K7 Carbon. The recent very strict Aardenberg accelerated tests of the Piezography Carbon (Sepia) K7 shows it to be leading all the other monochrome pigment ink sets on the market today. Not only are they not showing any signs of premature fade, but they are not showing any drift in the print color either. They are the closest thing there is to a platinum-palladum print in the digital world of the pigment inkjet process. No other inkset has so many subtle light values to work with. Due to the incredibly small pigment particles, Piezography Carbon inks are also susceptible to paper whites which can be used to subtly move the inks warmer or cooler depending upon the tone of the white. Like all Piezography and ConeColor inks, this is an encapsulated pigment formulation designed to insulate the static charge of the pigment particle which prevents clogging. Only Epson and HP employ similar technology. This is the perfect black & white ink set.

Save time with no more cartridges to change. Longer unattended printing. Superior performance & Reliability. Space saving design. Easy to install & Simple to run. Environmentally friendly. Uses a patented system of dampers instead of cartridges and a unique off damper chip system which makes the printer always read full.

A set of our refillable carts pre-charged with Piezography Carbon K7 ink.  Plug them in and play. You'll need QuadTone RIP to operate these and our K7 curves. If you look at the more info for this product you will see instructions on how to do this.

While all Piezography inks have been tested and can withstand more than 100 years of prudent display life, Carbon is in a league of its own. If it is important to you to print black & white images that can outlast anything from Canon, Epson, HP, or other 3rd party ink companies - then this is the ink.
Carbon is warm - and many of our customers have asked to try them before committing to quantities. So this is an inexpensive way to try a set of carts.

Piezography Carbon K7 inks are seven dilutions of pure carbon pigments which are the color of pure carbon, or what is referred to as a warm effect. The inks are subdued and not as saturated as the PiezoTone Carbon Sepia inks. Sepia inks are also susceptible to paper whites which can be used to subtly move the inks warmer of cooler Sepia depending upon the tone of the white. Again this is due to the incredibly small pigment particles. The end result is a perfect marriage of ink and paper. A perfect monotone is produced. Inks are designed to fade less than 5% and shift less than deltaE 2, both below average human perception. These are the longest lasting inks available. There is a zero metamerism effect. The pigment particles are ground using a proprietary nano-technology. The fluid base in conjunction with the pigment produces a very non-clogging formula.

This set includes both a matte and photo black and the Piezography Gloss Overprint.
