G53 ecotank bottles is the way to go for Chromalife 100+ faderesistance. Other Canon ecotank dye inks are much worse and some of them are hardly better than "good" quality aftermarket inks.
Qimage has a particular mode called auto: that chooses between perceptual or relative colorimetric with the extra option to enable BPC.....I am not sure how the software chooses between those two rendering intents based on what algorithm.
I think Lothman on this forum uses Pigmera GX. I made profiles for him some time ago and I was really impressed by the blackness of their photo and matte black. The prints are very good and have a nice gloss and gamut is very good.
In the past before Brexit I ordered from the UK via ebay: now after the Brexit I can understand, but Europrint has its head quarters in Poland and and shipping to Germany or Belgium should not make any difference for Amazon or Ebay in terms of shipping, because I could order from the UK as well...
Maybe you can contact them and ask how somebody from Belgium can order from them, a "famous" person from a very well known printer and ink website who is not able to purchase from Europrint, because they do not want to ship to Belgium....Maybe you can convince them to ship to me.
I send them an email and their response was: NO SHIPPING to Belgium....you have a solution for me ?
Maybe teleportation possible ?
Same with ebay as well: NO shipping to Belgium. I send them email as well and the answered they do no ship to Belgium.
I am not sure but maybe the temporary outlet shop of Aldi in Leuven (Louvain) might be source of the Netbit/Expertiz paper. They may still have some stock there. Unfortunately too far away for me.
Welcome to the world of of MacOS: so terrible to me concerning color management (sometimes it works, sometimes it get completely screwed and after each update the problems re-occur again) I sold my previous iMac Retina 27 inch to go back to Windows. Alternatively you can run Windows in...
The 3D-model looks like wrong reading. Please reread the target at a much slower pace, about 3 seconds over 1 row. The reason is the Colormunki is 4 times slower in taking samples from the patches (50 samples/second instead of 200 samples/second for the i1Pro2). It is full of errors. I always do...
Actually: i am using years open loop cartridges in my Epson Pro 3880/P-800 machines: not more clogs than using original cartridges at al (closed loop). Besides: where normal Epson cartridges sitting on print head are open loop cartridges too, because they need breathing. Ohh yes: José even...
I am using refillable cartridges with auto reset chip: unlike the older Pro 3880 no original cartridge chips needed for the chip sensor. They reset automatically when removed from the printer and show accurately ink level...but I live in Europe, so the printers accept refillable cartridges...
Please upload the generated *.ti3 file, so we can look at it and I can regenerate the profile and look for some crulpits in it. The 480 patch target is proven to be a very good target and should be even better compared to the 50 + 50 method of X-rite/Calibrite even with 2 extra optimization scans.
Did you use perceptual intent or relative colorimetric ? ArgyllCMS profiles have a particular behaviour that for relative colorimetric intent you will have to disable black point compensation to achieve the deepest black.
Try this set of mine: you will need a custom made ruler to guide the Colormunki over these tiny patches. Anyhow: 210 patches are too low to get a satisfactory profile. You will need at least 400-500 to get a satisfactory profile with ArgyllCMS with a predictable (linear behaving) printer.
