I think it's a great idea to use a daylight filter. In the old days there were two kinds, depending on the color temperature of the bulb. I wonder if heat will be a problem, however, since these bulbs are not designed for use in an enclosed space.

Thank you, Pharmacist. I've got profile problems, so I've ordered one.

Can you get data from the scans, e.g. the measurements?

Well, I was hoping for a software solution. The i1Studio software does not do this. It allows adding some color patches to a print profiling job, but I can't get data from it. I suppose I can get it from Argyll if I can ever get that running with the instrument. Sorry to be lazy, but...

Thanks. I haven't tried that for a while, but recent frustration makes it look useful. I was trying to remember the software part of it, though, to get just a simple reading with the data displayed (D, L, spectrum, whatever). Sorry, I haven't done my homework on this part of it.

I will follow up. It will probably be a few days, though. Not longer, I hope.

With my ET-8550 and Premium Photo Matte or nearest competing paper, letting the printer manage color gets me consistently neutral blacks -- something that no profile can match. The printer does a great job on color without any profile, but it prints too dark and it doesn't do black point...

AI is just summarizing what one or more persons has written on the Internet. It might be right or it might be wrong. It's possible that AI might be coaxed to reveal its sources so you may be able to evaluate the accuracy of the information.

It probably will affect readings. That's a big change in the relative distance from source and sensor to subject, and even a small change in the reading may be significant. When you move a light away from a wall, the illumination on the wall gets dimmer. This is the same thing, although it's...

No answer? OK, I'll bite. I'm pretty sure you can do it. Just check the specs. Paper feeding may be an issue, maybe not. You need photo paper, not just card stock, and you can buy them sold for greeting cards. Here's one source I like: Red River Paper. They are likely to have some...

It is very handy if you ever need it. Probably still very high. But Brother has the reputation for being reliable and long-lasting, and maybe economical printing. Laser printers probably won't do very well for color photos on office paper, and as far as I know you can't even use them on photo...

Oh, so it is. I had no idea. You can tell how much I've missed it. But Google is your friend (except when they're hassling you about passwords). I just posted three search links, and then there's this: How to get Wordpad back. Personally, I use LibreOffice in Linux, which also replaces...

?? What is it about Wordpad that you don't like? I'm unsure of your requirements. Online? You mean with remote software? Lightweight? You mean with local software that requires few resources? For what application? Online rich text editor Headless rich field text editor Open source rich field...

Most paper types have an option of standard or high quality. VFA has only "standard", which, if I recall correctly, prints slowly, so it's probably mislabeled. But maybe the problem is not caused by the pigment ink, but rather the high-quality setting. I have no information on that.
