QTR-Quadtone RIP

Speaking of math and "the programming that controls the firing of individual nozzles", if one printed twice the same file with the same profile, would one get the very same dots placements?
Would the QTR's dithering algorithms make the very same job or is some random calculation made here?
What I have in mind is printing twice - or more - the same media with the same file and hopefully get some random placement. I wouldn't dare the comparison with an aquatint true-random pattern, but that's the idea.

I've been using the Peizography digital negative ink set for the last few years so I don't mess too much with making digital negatives with QTR anymore.

I think it is written in C and involves too much computer math for me. I might force myself to learn it some day, but using the built is functions work great so I haven't found a reason for getting deeper into it.
