John,

Do you know if it is possible to buy the PIezzotone large format inks without signing up 
for their driver kit and profiles? For instance for using with QTR.

Yes ... just go to their web site, and look for replacement inks.

The new piezography does not require drivers, but unless you have a
colorimeter, you will need the profiles.

Not necessarily, I know some people that are successfully printing with 
piezography inks and Quad Tone Rip alone. I have a cheap B&W 
densitometer and have linearized QTR for my warm neutral inks and get 
great results better than with the ICC profiles. Now that a Windows 
version is avcailable I don't see any reason to use the ICC profiles.

Thanks for those comments.

Well that is the thing. If I do use QTR then I'm wasting a lot of money  on profiles, paper 
samples, and cleaning carts ( via Media Street for $13 ea) that I won't need. Eventhough I 
don't feel qualified to linearize the channels myself, from what I have read in the past Roy 
or others on this site will do it for a reasonable charge since the process is not that 
different than with UT inksets. I was just concerned that C wouldn't sell me the carts at all 
without paying that $1,100.00 and getting a serial number or something. 

One final thing, I do have 1280  Piez profiles. How close would they be to the ones 
designed for the 7000 printer? From what I have read, those might not be perfect anyway 
since they are releasing a new set of profiles and are encouraging people to pay for their 
custom linearization profiling stystem now. However they work fine on the 1280 I just 
tested. But, of course the print heads are a lot smaller that the 7000. I'm not trying to be 
cheap here I just need another monitor now also.

John, you can easily buy Ptone ink alone, carts, bottles, whatever you
want. Look on the website.

I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try, but I wouldn't expect much.
