After letting the test print dry for 24 hours, I'm inclined to give a slight edge to the 1944 target over the preconditioned one, at least for B&W with Canon Fine Art Smooth on the ET-8550. Under a 2700K LED, the preconditioned print (using a profile made with Print Prism as the refinement...

No-- maybe a nozzle clogged after running a check, or I wasn't assigning the profile I thought I was. The 1944 patch print is really quite nice. After drying for 24 hours the preconditioned profile looks a touch magenta next to it.

Well, I seem to have a knack for triple-checking my settings, getting unexpected results, and concluding that something is wrong, only to try it one more time and seeing the problem disappear. Here's a new print from the same 1944-patch profile, settings identical to before, looking very close...

I'm always looking to improve B&W printing on my ET-8550, and tried the 1944-patch chart with Canon Fine Art Smooth. This is a warm-tone, OBA-free paper that tends to have a magenta cast with the Epson inks, even after profiling. The ChromIQ profile analysis was good, highest Delta E 1.27...

When I posted this I had tried at least five times to create a decent profile without success, so I felt pretty certain something was off somewhere. Afterwards I decided to give it another go and got a profile with the highest Delta E around 1 and the average a third of that (I did have to...

Hello to all here. I was able to pick up an i1 Pro 3 for a hard-to-resist price and was excited to try it out with itsab1989's nifty ArgyllCMS GUI. But for the life of me I can't get a profile without huge Delta E errors. Rows are verified in the scan (with several retries, because it's tricky...
