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. John

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

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. cort -- Cort Anderson Training Wheels, llc www.trwheels.com 620-488-2960 620-488-3196 fax

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 -------------------------------

John, you can easily buy Ptone ink alone, carts, bottles, whatever you want. Look on the website. >... One final thing, I do have 1280 Piez profiles.
