I too noticed and assumed that normal service would be resumed asap :D

Yes, the problem is that Argyll installs its own driver, although you can use Device Manager to swap between the drivers if you want to use the X Rite software. Had the same problem with my i1Studio, so I made the decision to get rid of the X-Rite software and just use ArgyllCMS...

So you are using a Mac and it is setting colour management automatically! Long time since I used Mac so not 100% sure: You are setting Colour Managing to ColorSync. Then in options you are selecting Off No Colour management; or it has been turned off already? This should I think make sure the...

The Pixl and indeed other dedicated printer test prints do not require any adjustment in editing software and should print out correctly if the print driver settings are correct for paper type and the correct and good ICC paper profile is selected. It is not really clear what you mean by photo...

Then I fear you are out of luck as the print driver will make the decision which inks to use to produce the required print hue and density.

A good point and one I cannot answer as I have never examined a print from this printer.

If you look in the print driver menu somewhere you should find an option to print labelled either B&W or Grayscale. Depending on your particular model and driver it may look similar to the attached

Hi Tobisch Just to make sure we understand could you confirm the following please: “all under control” suggests that you have calibrated your monitor to a standard e.g 110 cd/m2, D65, gamma 2.2 with an XRite or other puck is that correct? And you are also illuminating your print with its...

If your display is too bright then it is common to see dark prints. Do your prints still look too dark when you take them into another room or outside under good lighting? Do you calibrate and profile your display using an instrument?

I suspect you may be out of luck finding an inkjet printer that uses white ink that fit within your budget. AFAIK most if not all use CMYK inks and additional inks to extend gamut capabilities none use or substitute white. It maybe worthwhile investigating DTG printers that use white ink...

Just checked to see if Wolf Faust still active; seems it is according to this recent article. Author uses ArgyllCMS and CoCa for which there is a GUI (Yay!!). https://www.the-ninth.com/blog/scanner-profiling-on-a-budget

It may be possible via ArgyllCMS via Spotread (a bit tedious?) or there may be another way to input values? It may well be an interesting excercise but it is possible to buy IT 8 targets on ebay either printed on Kodak, Fuji or Agfa papers including the target data file e.g. IT-8 cards can be...

Taking the above image at face value it looks like you are missing black inks at least. But it is difficult to make any accurate judgement remotely as there are unknown factors here such as scan quality, monitor calibration, bad profile etc. In cases like this it is useful to use a printer...

Thanks for the update. Without fully understanding the requirements for your chosen print method it seems to me your biggest obstacle may be the existing camera pixel count - of course I could be wrong but.. Obviously a higher MP camera will gain you the added resolution @7"x5" and if you...

Isn't the PPI dependent on and calculated on the Lenticular lens count? You have 720 ppi to play with on an Epson printer! Your image source (camera) may not contain enough pixels to print at your final size without upsampling; this may not be a bad thing as these types of prints are not high...

I believe that your printer should have enough in the way of resolution to enable lenticular prints i.e. resolution capability of 360ppi or 720ppi! Just a final thought from me as being curious I did a quick search on requirements for image resolution for lenticular printing. Most seem to...

Yes PPI is industry standard I only mentioned resampling as if you do not produce an image file that equates to your required PPI at the final size print size the print driver will do this for you which may be sub optimal. The printers Normal and High quality settings relate to printer DPI and...

No conflict it was just unclear if you were referring to PPI or DPI in your post. Now that you have clarified driver reports I understand 👍 500dpi or 500ppi? Effective resolution in the image data (PPI) or in the print driver (DPI)?

Sorry, but I am not clear on what you mean about the transmitted resolution (dpi). The resolution transmitted from the image data in our editing software to the driver is measured in PPI and as such has zero knowledge of printer requirements without us intervening or just allowing the printer...

No, PPI is not the limit of a printer this is purely a measure of how many pixels your image is made up of in the horizontal or vertical directions. For example suppose you have a 6MP camera and the image resolution is 3000 pixels x 2000 pixels. This will allow you to print a maximum image...
