Epson P5370


 

开云体育

Dear All,

Is the final verdict that profiles good for the P900 might work with the P5370 and the P5370 is usable with QTR?

VLM=LM

VM=M

V

PK

MK

CY

LTCY

GY

LTGY

Y

Or can one of the QTR drivers currently in the files work for it like the InstallP5000.command though the inks are below, different?

K

C

LC

M

LM

Y

LK

LLK

OR

GR

Richard, will you be adding the 5370 to QCDN?

I have a P900 VDB (MAC) profile attached that is quite effective if someone wants to test it with the P5370 if that in fact is possible.

Someone tried the P900 driver with a P5370 a while ago. The report was that
everything that was tried worked. So for now that's my assumption.

The inks are identical, the head is identical, and appears the driver can work.
So I'm thinking same curves etc. will work.

So just duplicate <cmd>D the Install and rename to InstallP5370=P900.command

If there are any discrepancies please let me know to I can track it down.
-- Does it have the same input slots?

I will let you know, Roy.

I have it in my wishlist at BnH because it is out of stock, but I will need to test it before I change the P900s in the school lab to P5370s.

Maybe someone who has one can screen shot the ink cartridge row and send to the list and I can screenshot my P900.

It’s a (gasp) $2900 commitment on my part to buy one so trying to see if there is enough in the school budget at the end of the fiscal year to purchase at least one now.

I would pay for it for myself IF it works with QTR. If it doesn’t work I’ve wasted three grand.

Not to mention trying to find someone who can lift 115 lb and bring it into my dimroom!!

Thanks, David. Do you do VDB or is there another P900 profile I can send for you to see if it performs like a P900?

Would a Cyanotype profile will work, the version with FAO.
Also would be fine to print negative with one of your profiles and mail it to you.

Hereyago!

Just print out a negative of it and see if it “looks” normal and prints within bounds of normal for you…

I do dilute my new cyanotype to 200 ml from 100 ml because it prints smoother and faster and doesn’t splotch. And I use 2 drops Tween per ml solution. AND I do a very thin coat on the paper and humidify the paper for 20 before exposure. But that’s cuz I live in MT…

I could also send you a negative printed on the P900 w this profile.

But right now I’m more interested in if the P5370 “behaves” in which case then I’d buy one and redo profiles which I assume may only need tweaking from the P900.

Thank you, David!

OH thank heavens. I’m getting one.

So David, did you do this first as Roy said:

“So just duplicate <cmd>D? the Install and rename to InstallP5370=P900.command”

Thanks for testing this!

BTW if you do VDB the profile has been working great. Testing it on argyrotype shortly.

QTR P900 CyanotypeNew.quad profile from Chris


 

Hi Chris,
I am not a MacOs person so use QTRGui on Windows. ?I copied the .quad to the P900 profile folder, open QTRGui selected my p5370 printer, the P900 printer profile and the correct .quad

The negative was also printed on 8.5”x10” media using the top sheet feed and don’t see the classic pizza wheel marks either.

The P5370 is slightly smaller than the 4900 it replaced and uses the same ink waste tanks, paper tray, roll holder, etc. ?

Cheers,
David
