    A basic guide (see post #1) to setting up ARGYLL CMS profiling on your computer

    I have printed the B. Atkinson image and what I see is better shadow details in the print which is preconditioned. The neutral rendering curve is different in ColorThink as well, but to be honest, what to make of that I am not sure. I think, I see magenta tint in very deep shadows which is not...

    I have managed to alter the CAP480.txt file in order to pre-condition it. It worked and I have now new set of .ti1, .ti2 and a .tif file to print and compare the profiles from original CAP480 and the pre-conditioned one. --------------------------

    I got it now.:) Thanks @The Hat . I am on the slow side.. I guess. I doubt, The differences between the CM and the Argyll profiles will be visible on the web, considering my old, cheap scanner. Comparing them on the web might lead you to a wrong conclusion. The main difference, obvious one is...

    Yes Ian, I am in this mode. Results as a results are not great. I love photography, but it is a hobby for me, which is not bad as I do it for fun. Attending competitions here and there with moderate success, but plenty of room to improve...I hope..:) I am not sure if that is what you wanted to...

    You probably red this article: http://www.ludd.ltu.se/~torger/photography/argyll-print.html He put it very simple, but we will see how it goes... I think the best bet is to modify .txt files we already have. I need to gain some experience with this Command line. :)

    I printed couple of pictures. One of them is the Bill Atkinson test file. The ArgyllCMS profile is warmer than the Munki one and match the screen better. I thought I will have better shadows, but I was disappointed. Below 10 nothing is visible on both prints - the one printed with Munki profile...

    Thanks Ian, Can you post a link to this video please? Yes, I am afraid, I will create a profile with too many reading errors, so wanted to stay on the safe side - bigger patches... -------------------- Thanks for the link. :) Thanks in advance Pete

    Thanks, I want bigger patches, that is the only reason. I have no proper ruler at the moment to read the printed CAP480 targets. Patches are 9mm, but that is still too small for me. I would like to change the .bat file in order to print these 480 patches onto 2 A4 sheets. Bigger patches is...

    Hello Ian, Sorry for the late reply, Yes, I love my Epson 4880. It is easy to find original Epson carts very cheap, so I can not see the point of using a re-fill. I still have couple of full sets.:) I printed the 480 patches .tif on a A4, but I would like to spread them equally on a 2 A4...

    Thanks Emulator, I bought Eizo CS230 bundled with i1 Display Pro before couple of months and its Color Navigator with the i1 Display Pro gives average DeltaE < 1. I wanted to send back the i1 Display Pro for a refund, as I thought I will use the CM instead, but when I saw the CM result with...

    Thanks Emulator, Yes, I have the driver installed and shows in Device manager: Argyll LibUSB-win32 devices. I even managed to generate and print the 480 patch target via Qimage. I left it for overnight to dry completely. So, I need to make the ruler now and then read the patches. I hope to not...

    A basic guide (see post #1) to setting up ARGYLL CMS profiling on your computer

    There was no original driver installation as i already have a driver for CM - the x-rite driver. I needed only to update the driver(manually), following the argyll installation manual, which I did, but can not find the driver in the "usb" folder, in order to update it. Yes, I work within the...
