CONE EDITIONS - Key Persons

Altoon Sultan: Red Line, 2012. We have been working with Altoon for since 1995. This particular project included our overhead scanner under which Altoon built montages from materials she brought to our studio.

David Humphrey and Jon Cone collaborated in 1986 on the first of more than 14 years of digital projects in which they would combine computers with non-traditional printmaking. Humphrey used drawing and painting software to produce photo-etchings. Humphrey and Cone produced an elaborate digital collaboration in 1990 in which a grotesquely Orwellian use of technology enhanced personal memories scanned form the artist's family album. The results were monoprints printed from digitally screenprinted oil paint on plexiglass. Cone and Humphrey eventually collaborated on the Milk Series in which elaborate still lives composed and immersed in milk by the artist were scanned on the studio's newest equipment, a custom built 40"x60" direct scanner.

Jon Cone pioneered digital printmaking in 1984 and has steadily contributed innovations including formulating the first archival inkjet inks, quad-black inkjet printing, introduced light blacks and pigment ink prior to the OEMs, produced the first GUI for large format printing. Piezography®, originally introduced as Digital Platinum for IRIS has been setting the highest standards for fine black & white printing since 1995. The Piezography digital negative was introduced 2010. Piezography direct-to-plate photogravure was introduced 2017 (with kind recognition to the work previously pioneered by Don Messec.) In 2023, Jon is now developing PiezoChrome™ in which Piezography technology and color printmaking combine. Jon Cone a graduate of the Ohio University School of Art. He is Master Printer at Cone Editions co-founding the experimental printmaking studio in 1980. He is equally comfortable in inkjet, intaglio, platinum printing, photogravure, and relief print.
