Not directly, there is no profile editor to do that. A profile typically consists of a data matrix of 33x33x33 or 17x17x17 data points, this data grid is independend of the number of color patches which get scanned as the first step. The size of a profile does not change if you enter the data...

I found quite an interesting article about the neutrality of grays https://www.nazdar.com/Portals/0/NewsItems/Articles/ThePowerOfNeutralGray-MikeRuff.pdf

I tried the optimization function of the i1Profiler software only once long time ago, I cannot judge if profiles are getting better that way or running just one cycle with the double number of patch colors at one time. I typically let patch sheet prints dry overnight since the colors of such...

' If you are not faint-hearted you can sell the included dye ink bottles and use that money to buy some good pigment ink (type Precisioncolors' Precisioncolors specifically supports pigment inks for the ET_8550 and gives tips https://precisioncolors.com/ET8550.html Pigment ink effects like...

The darker ranges of the image just disappear in the dark, I'm not familiar with the specifics of the QTR method and why a separate linearization is apparently needed. Do you have the means to create a B/W profile in another way - ColorMunki or i1Match or ...- and compare the print outputs with...

Do you have some function available like the Black Point Compensation - BPC - routine for B/W prints ?

I'm reaching the limits of data accuracy and validity with the current setup; let me just show you what is happening; I printed the 0192 patchsheet, created a profile from it , reprinted the 0192 patchsheet with this profile and scanned it twice - directly one after the other and let i1Profiler...

I checked already the TC2.83 patch sheet https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/how-many-color-patches-are-needed-for-a-good-profile.16935/post-144751 The Delta to profiles based on higher patch counts is very small and adding a few control points does not make a difference as long as...

the successor of the Pro-10 would be the Pro-300 or the Pro-310 as the newest model. You should look for a printer model which use a user replaceable maintenance/waste ink box. When buying a used unit the waste ink box may already be filled to a degree and you either need to go for a service...

I'm not using 5x7 inch cards, and I'm quite happy with a patch sheet with 283 patches on A5; I don't think I need an upgrade here at this time. That was an import of a standard profile of the old ProfileMaker package. I remember from longer time ago that missing separation bars were impacting...

I appreciate the optimization of the 10x15 cm patch sheet to 192 active patches very much, but I actually don't really need much more of that with higher patch counts. You may have a look to some improvement for user doing the manual scan with the original scanning board - e.g. larger patches or...

Let me mention the DeltaE numbers of the last test - I did in this case compare the patch prints done with the 720 patch profile and the 192 patch profile - on the Netbit paper - it is 1.3. There was a problem with the prints on the Action paper - there was a defect spot in the coating on one...

You may have a look to the ET-8550 - a dye ink printer as an ink tank model and a user replaceable waste ink/maintenance box. Even the OEM inks in bottles are very affordable, or you may use inks by pecisioncolors or other suppliers. But when it comes to longevity - only OEM inks - Claria by...

I assume that you are looking for a 13" printer if you refer to large format. ? I'm not aware of evidence that an Epson printer would clog earlier and/or stronger than a Canon printer, the best maintenance for a printer is printing - on a low level even if you don't have actual printjobs. Just...

I expect a marginal change for the DeltaE 165 vs. 192 - value only - in the range of reading noise/variations behind the decimal point. Let me see.
