Digital BW, The Print

I didn't see the question I posed in the last post, so I'll try again. Please 
excuse me if this is redundant to some of you, but the post came in blank to 
me.
Does anyone know if one must use multiple dongles when using the pro 24 piezo 
rip if printing on more than one printer?
I obviously don't know anything about dongles, so please pardon me, but if 
the Pro 24 if being advertised as useful for multiprinting, then must one 
order as many dongles as one has printers?
Thanks in advance,
George J Kunze

George,

I know the answer.

The dongle is only necessary to run the software and not the 
printers. One purchase of PiezographyBW Pro allows you to print 
to as many printers as you have ports. You assign printers to 
ports such as Ethernet or USB or Serial. The software allows 
itself to be opened multiple times. You select a different printer 
each time. It ships with profiles for all the desktop and large 
format printers.

Will the same version of the software run both a 9000 and a 7000?  I noticed
that there is different pricing for these two machines.  Does a copy of the
desktop piezo (6.01) come with the pro software, or do you have to purchase
that separately?  It's my understanding that the pro product only runs the
wide format printers...is this correct?

hi Robert,

The Pro software can print to ALL the supported printers. Supported printers
(of the Pro product) now include:
7000, 7500, 9000, 9500, 980, 1160, 1200, 1280/1290 etc.

The price difference between the two products you mention is merely down to
the size of the carts that are supplied with the system. As with other areas
of 3rd-party inks, the 9000-size carts can be used on the 7000.

Hope this helps,

nij

Robert,

You do not get a copy of the plugin with it. The desktop printers 
are all supported by the Pro versions and always have been (at 
least as long as I have been running it.)  The Pro version has all 
of the large format and medium format and desktop printer 
drivers in it. The difference in price is that the full kits have 6 
flushing cartridges, 6 ink cartridges and 25 sheets or so of 
paper. The 9000 carts cost more than the 7000 carts and so the 
kit reflects that.

It installs all the profiles for all the printers but only shows you 
profiles for the printer you select and open a printer port for. So 
when I open the app for a 3000, I get the 3000 profiles. For a 
1160 I get 1160 profiles and so on. For the big EPSONs you get 
their profiles.
