Learn Piezography on this page.
These are the latest technical documents that you will need in order to correctly install and operate your Piezography system. Piezography inks are installed in a very precise order that is congruent with the architecture of our Piezography media profiles (“curves”). The media profiles must be used according to our workflow.

SERVICES
Custom Piezography P2, K6, & K7 Curves
InkjetMall offers a “linearization” service to fine-tune your Piezography workflow. You may wish to have a custom Piezography curve made if your printer is too far out of spec and does not produce a good result with Piezography K6 and K7 curves. This happens as a printer ages. Another reason for getting a custom curve made is to profile a paper that has not already been profiled by InkjetMall.
Custom Curve Remapping
Piezography offers a lot of possibilities for inkjet printers with one or more permanently clogged ink channels. We can map-out non-functional ink channels for you and take advantage of good working channels. The benefit of this service is that it allows a printer with one or more permanently dead ink channels to be used as a Piezography system.
With this service, you have the choice of either having us modify 5 existing Piezography curves for your unique shade placement, OR have 2 custom curves made for your unique shade placement/setup.
