Just the gray scale going from white to black in steps or wedges. Austin pointed out that the Piezography software has some sample files on it but I think you are satisfied with the Piezography prints and are having problems with color and Generations ink, right? Do you have a color photo with almost no grain that you could try? When you look at your scanned image in PS and view it by actual pixel size, do you see a lot of grain in the areas where you see grain on the print? You might also try the Grain Equilizing feature on the 8000. I've used it with really grainy old negatives that I have and it works great.
