I briefly worked with Joe at Bowhaus to set up a doubled-up quad inkset in a Roland. The purpose was to do very fast printing of a large show that used ceiling to floor prints in a large display area. It was all about speed. They looked good. It worked, but is probably not the way to go for most of us.

The 7700 and 9700 are 4 ink printers. They double up on all 4 inks and print with thesame heads as the x900 or x890 printers. My impression is that they are just fasterfor less demanding quality output (since no light-inks are used). They also list 1440x1440as the max resolution.I've never used one or seen one so details are unknown to me. It's possible that thex890 driver would be useable -- I guess if you avoid any of the light-ink usage.All-in-all I doubt you'd be getting what you really want.RoyBTW, the install file rename would be: Install9700=9890.commandthe letters "Quad" are not included -- they do show up in the printer name.RoyOn Tue, Aug 9, 2016 at 7:37 AM, mccarvill@...

I don't see the 7700 / 9700 listed on the official QTR support page, but I'm wondering if anyone is using a 7700 / 9700 with QTR. I'm trying to find a used 9800 here in Vancouver but it’s slim pickings and there’s a 9700 available.
Thanks,
Mark
