Re: [QuadtoneRIP] Is Epson blocking further use of QTR ?

2016-04-28 by forums@walkerblackwell.com

re Piezo and refill carts.

There will hopefully be some good news on the P800 model soon but I can’t say anything for a while.

If we can get the P800, we can probably go to P9000 and P10x/20x models with similar technique. If that is the case, we’ll get the machines in and work on testing w/ QTR.

All of this is still an IF not a WHEN although it’s a much more hopeful IF than it was a few months ago.

cheers all,
Walker
