QTR-Quadtone RIP

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

It looks like a non US model number for a 9890 or 9880 so I think you can copy the install script in the 9880 profiles folder and put Quad9700= in front of the install command name so it looks like this: "installQuad9700=Quad9880.command". That should tell it to create the printer as quad9700 and direct it to use the 9880/9890 drivers. Roy might need to chime in if I have some part of that wrong, but that is what is done with the 1430 or 1500 to get it to use the 1400 driver.

Hope that helps,

Roy, thanks for clearing that up. I was answering from the phone and couldn't really see specs for that printer or exactly was the install commands were called.

It looks like the 9700 still uses 10 channels so is it possible to convert to a Piezography systemabd still work as as intended, although with lower overall dpi 1440x1440 rather than 2880x1440. Still, a 9800 or 9880 might be a better bet (and you're still doing better than the 9900 style print head)

OK – thanks, folks.

9700 works I believe. You just need to use the 9890 ppd/driver.

The install command would be something like: Install9700-K7=9890.command

best,
Walker

I love how my message shows up 4 hours after I initially posted it. Any chance of migrating to groups.io ? Especially after the Verizon purchase...
