Just to revive this 10 year old post. I have the same problem to like emulator. Not sure you if someone can help me to pass the error.

Ohh, I think we are talking about something different. I know that the Colormunki software works with the 2-steps method and corrects back for the curvature in the RGB colour space based on the difference between the expected value and the measured value. I mean the possibility of measuring...

Hi Lothar, I think the problem is the software of the Colormunki (i1Studio/ccStudio) is very limited in this aspect unlike the i1Profiler or even ArgyllCMS that has extra options to measure the deviation of colours in the estimated color space. Which I think is a bit strange: even the low level...

@ThrillaMozilla Yes I know the optimization method. You can either choose a image to have the software to pick out the colours it will have difficulty to reproduce and measure them to improve the existing profile. However in the past I have tried this method by first generating a profile by 50 +...

The Colormunki method is based on an estimation of a perfect linear behaviour of how the ink is laid down. I have used a rather not so good LC ink in my previous Epson P800 that was too light in hue, causing terrible banding and clipping from very light blue to dark blue when producing a profile...

Actually the ET-8550 does a pretty good job printing on matte paper even with its dye inks (and matte pigment black)

At this moment (and for somebody from the USA): the Epson ET-8550. 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 or Inktec Powerchrome or even expired large format printer cartridges using K3...

Having read this article: https://blackfiveimaging.co.uk/index.php?article=04Miscellaneous/02Random+Thoughts/Creating+a+Custom+Profiling+Target I tried to create a scanner profile using a 400 patch target with ArgyllCMS. In the package there are several files including a scanner.cht file...

actually the QTR is a method is to linearise the gradient of the picture, because it is not possible to use profiles in the ABW-mode, so crushed shadows (which otherwise will be uniform dark gray area) can lift up and give much more details.

In the conversion to profile I get this: engine: I can choose Adobe (ACE) or microsoft.icm and BPC is checked, as you can see. I choose relative colorimetric. Afterwards I attach the gamma 2.2 profile onto the coverted (with help of the QTR linearisation profile) image and then I use the ABW...

Yesterday I tried to generate linearisation profiles for ABW on my Epson ET-8550 and SC-P900, but instead of improvement the shadows get crushed instead of improvement. Not sure what I did wrong: Scanning the target: saving results in to Cielab txt file and dropping to QTR-linearize.data.exe...

So actually the TC 2.83 target has no extra benefit compared to the other targets if I have understood it.

Here is another target I have made based on the TC2.83 target that is originally included in the Gretag Macbeth iMatch software alongside with the famous TC9.18 target (and which can still be found in the i1Profiler software package). It is a small target that has initially alot of white patches...

Thanks to @Ink stained Fingers idea using a very small target (96 patches) on a small 10x15 cm (4x6") paper to obtain a rudimentary but still a satisfactory RGB printer proifle, I took the chance to optimize the amount size (increase to the maximum amount that can be printed on small photo...

Hi @Ink stained Fingers The 10x15 cm target is already up to the maximum I can do (192 patches). The i1iO target can be easily scanned with the manual method using the scanning board. I have done that alrady many times. The normal target patch set using the scanning board is without separation...

Hello everybody, Having alot of experience with 2D printers the last decades, I want to enter the world of 3D printers. Any tips about a good 3D printer that I can buy, using good aftermarket filament, heated versus non-heated beds, ease of cleaning of the printer, sound production, fitting on...

Nice to hear. So according to you most will be more than satisfied with this miniature 192 patch target. That would be very interesting for a fast target to try out aftermarket ink/paper combination without spilling too much paper/ink/time to get good results. Now maybe I should produce a half...

aliexpress might be your friend sometimes they deliver within 7 days.

I hope you will report back and see how this target will perform compared to a larger patch size target like 729 or even 2880 patches. If the average difference will fall under Delta-E 1, than it is practically indistiguishable compared to much larger targets. The 165 patch target was already...

I think I might have found the doubles and removed them. I think these are the last 6 RGB patches (with different hues) before the near neutral patches. I replaced them with extra near neutral patches. The pink outlined boxes are the doubles I have detected. The new target looks like now:
