QTR on Windows 7 with Piezo carbon K7

QTR on Windows 7 with Piezo carbon K7

2012-02-26 by lbenac65

Hello,
I just took advantage of the new set of Carbon K7 in prefill cartridges to try Piezo inks. I have just installed QTR but I am running into a problem. As far as I can tell I have followed all the steps from either manuals.
When I print an image of the 100 steps TIF through QTR using R2880-K7 curves I lost separation from about 75 to 50. Same thing happen on a photo regardless of using Gamma 2 or Gray-lab profile.
When I print the 100 steps TIF through CS5 (which is using the Epson driver on a Windows machine)the separation is there.
I think that it pretty much excludes a printer/head/nozzle or cartridge problem.
This leaves the operator or the QTR setup/install in other words am I missing something...

Thank you

Luc

Well I just printed the Ink Pattern page in calibration mode and Ink 5 and 6 are identical. So there might be a problem with the cartridge after all.

Problem solved thanks to a tip on Piezo group. Exchanged the chip on the two cartridges that were mis filled and the system is now up and running.

Cheers,

Luc
