    Jon Cone on Carbon Piezography

    Just found this article by Jon Cone.

    http://theagnosticprint.org/the-stat...hite/#more-963

    Very interesting read, especially his comments about the all carbon ink set.

    Re: Jon Cone on Carbon Piezography

    "The results at Aardenburg at the 140 Megalux point confirm for me that prints I make with pure carbon inks will stand the test of time, and should be considered a replacement for silver and platinum for those who are losing access to those metals."

    I have read that with methods like Pt/Pd and Carbon, longevity is constrained more by the integrity of the backing material (paper for example) than the image material itself.

    Does an Aardenburg number of 140 Megalux equate to the longevity of Pt/Pd or other similar processes that we place at the 'pinnacle' of stability ?

    The article is gone. There's the links to it, the first few paragraphs, but the article is just gone now. (They claim the printer ate it. Yah, like the dog is innocent!)

    Prima donna printers. You can see most of it in the nov/dec issue of view camera. Or if you subscribe to The Agnostic Print RSS feed with google reader, it should be there, but no guarantee.

    Sandy,

    Thanks for posting the link. The article is full of insights, information and interesting implications. Cone's credentials are unimpeachable, and his grace and generosity towards the young upstarts is truly admirable. Cone is admittedly uneasy about the inevitability of the movement away from the handmade artifact toward the machine made one, despite all his years of innovation to that end. It's a fascinating paradox.

    I also found it interesting that Cone attributes much of Epson's success in printing to their being the most "open sourced" platform, making it easier for third party inksets to be used with their machines.

    The evolution of B&W photographic inkjet printing as seen, and largely manifested by Cone, is educational, and entertaining, and reminds me how persuasive and inspirational descriptions of image qualities can be. A great read, beginning to end (though I confess I skimmed over the parts about longevity). Thanks again for the link.

    Strange, I just read it. It's still on my screen.

    I suspect he was making a joke, about longevity

    No, 404 - page not found. Very different than longevity. When I clicked on Sandy's link this morning, I was taken to their 404 page. Then I clicked on the home page, noted the article front and center, and then clicked on the link. Once again, 404. Then I read Cone's bio, noted the article there, and clicked on the link. 404.

    This is what they show for a 404:
    CACHUNK! CACHUNK!
    Apologies, but the page you requested may have been eaten by our printer. Perhaps searching will help.
    This afternoon the page is back.

    Yes, I agree, the page has lots of good information. I'm going to forward it to some people who could use the info.
