you can do that with a 1d barcode
there is a huge amount of info that can be stored in a 2d barcode,

I sell stickers and sticker accessories.
Some manufacturers use the QR code to store head rank information to be input into the printer at install, but I am not familiar with ValueJet print heads.

Not to make fun of you... But I'm going to... WHY did you think the QR was necessary to make the cartridge work? I can understand curiosity... But, have you never run the printer you have, and replaced the ink?

Wow seriously? sheesh ....someone else on another group asked if I put the QR code after I replaced the printhead in and when I asked him if it was necessary he didnt bother to reply back. Anyhow thank you for your time. Mahalo.

You're welcome. don't take my questions too personal. I Can't speak for the "other group", or the guy that "advised" you and ghosted you... But I think solvent (and others) answered your question. Here. I'm here to learn, and some times I comment on silly questions... So someone will school me. No need to get defensive, it's easier to explain why you asked.

one thing about the internet. people who know LESS THAN YOU about a topic will always have an opinion,
and sergey brin's algorithm will always put them on top (NOTHING ANNOYS ME MORE than doing a search for a technical topic and having the top 5 results being people saying "i never understood that either")

back to the original post (remember him?)
the guy that replied to you probably figured the head rank was so long, they had to make it into a QR code
