That's actually something I did a while ago. You can use Spyder Print with argyll but it requires some messing around with files. You can start with any ti1/ti2 files you like. @pharmacist 's 480 patch target, for instance, happens to be quite suitable for the spyder Print. What you suggest...

It does affect the chart readings quite significantly and the resulting profiles have a smaller gamut volume than those made with the instrument pressed on the paper (as recommended). That being said, I haven't seen any effect on the quality of test prints.

For comparative purposes I have now read the 480 patch target of @pharmacist without the jig, using instead a plastic ruler to guide the instrument (which took a while because you need to be really careful). The profile I obtained is virtually identical to the one produced with the x-rite...

Yes, I also thought about something like that but closer to the design of @Artur5 - without the bottom plate. Probably the frame would need to be made a bit thicker to avoid the jig from flexing.

It's an entry level Canon printer (TS-8350) for which Canon does not provide icc profiles so a comparison is not possible. I am using Canon ink and paper (SG-201, semigloss). I tested other colours and there is always a signficant difference (dE 76 of 6-8 for yellow, red, blue and green and...

Hi, first time posting here. I have 3D-printed the two-part scanning jig and I have used it with the 480 patch argyll target provided by @pharmacist . I scanned the target with my ColorMunki Design device and obtained very low dE values (max of 1.3 or something like that). I followed the...
