The rail is very useful (absolutely necessary ?) for working with ArgyllCMS produced prints as you will be measuring many more samples than the basic Colormunki software can produce, leading to more accurate profiles.
I suspect many shy away from cmd line driven software due to having to learn...
Thanks yes I was aware of this. Mine came from a known source a retired pro friend of mine. He had been through similar with his first unit a cheap ebay i1Pro which he could not get to work until I stepped in and showed him the ArgllCMS and GUI's. Not liking that he acquired an i1Pro2 with...
Yes the unit came with iPublish so I was very happy. With ArgyllCMS I used to use a coupleof GUI front ends. One being Little Argyll e other which was more comprehensive called [color]Profiler. I think the author gave up on it as he only ever got 2 donations one of which was MINE...
It was only a tongue in cheek suggestion to ask if you were volunteering to remove the feet and scan directly on print surface. ;) :)
I know you have done a lot of work on this and are obviously happy with your results. If you do decide to experiment it would be interesting to hear your...
I suspect you may be right here but I have not actually tested. What we need is for someone to cut off the little feet on the unit after first making profiles with a guide system and then direct on to paper after amputation of feet :confused:
then compare numerically and visually.
I take it you...
FWIW, and bearing in mind I have not tried a guide such as these.
I believe the Z direction (height) can adversely readings due to the thicker your guide base is the greater the cross-talk from adjacent column patches may be. In practice does it really make any difference I just do not know...
Apologies John for taking your thread off topic :oops:
Hope you get a response to your Qimage One query soon. You may find some information/opinion on Jtoolmans Facebook or Website...
16 bit is already standard on Mac and possible with Windows, so why do you keep on insisting it is not?
In isolation no one can tell if a print has been produced in a 16 bit or 8 bit workflow. Side by side 8 v 16 bit comparisons may reveal subtle differences in smoother gradients for images...
We are not in disagreement here at all.
Two photographic images side by side are more than likely to appear identical from either an 8 bit or 16 bit print pipeline. Certainly it will not be apparent with the same two prints viewed independently and may only be visible in side by side prints...
Epson, Canon and HP can and DO print in 16 bit pipeline. But not in Windows as explained earlier there is no option to do so in either the OS or in the Windows application. 16 bit pipeline supported for a long time in Apple and those printing applications offer the opportunity to switch to 16...
I tend to both agree and disagree about 16 bit printing and what it may bring to the table.
Most experts I have had any contact with seem to be of the opinion that 16 bit brings nothing to the table and switching the option on is a waste of time as print comparison show zero difference, at...
Hi John, are you by any chance the John Wheeler that used to post on Retouchpro? I used to post TonyW
Anyway FWIW as I am not a Mac user anymore and only had a little experience with Qimage on PC a few random thoughts:
Not sure what the differnces are between the PC and Mac versions. But...
Well I dont have a SC P900 but I do love my P800, no clogs, no mess, no fuss :fl.
Well TBH that is after I got over the initial shock of ink takeup and priming and the miserable barstewards giving you 64ml cartridges instead of the full size 80ml. :barnie
Still better than getting one of those...
274g (=274ml ?) does seem to be large amount of ink and would be a huge chunk of change if you had to buy the ink on top of the purchase price of the printer without ink supplied.
I do think that there is a case to be made that they do this intentionally to sell more ink.
A quick...
Just reading this posted on Redditt and thought that others may find this of interest/concern/amusement/horror :th
I have not yet read and digested all the comments but one from someone named WealtheSea8475 who seems knowledgeable in patent areas:
I agree things seemed to have moved quickly in the last few years. My impression too is that other companies are playing catch up and producing "me too" versions and releasing in a hurry onto the market with sometimes lower price points, perhaps before they are fully ready for the masses...
After mulling it over for quite a while I finally went ahead and the printer arrived a couple of days ago. I wanted/needed an enclosed printer for some of the harder to print filaments.
Still finding my feet on this and working my way through Bambu Studio (Orca Slicer) app. Have not printed...
In the limited amount of printing I have done with PLA I have never witnessed any dust issues even when printed indoors in an unvented living area. Having said that I have only ever printed using either black or white PLA in the mid-priced bracket.
Could it be that in some/cheaper PLA the dust...
AFAIK all of the newer Canon printers have WiFi connection. I suspect that the instruction is a translation problem and the button reference missed the point that you need to select WiFi/Network in the menu.
Does this vid help?
I am not familiar with your printer or HP T&Cs, but I was under the impression that you could cancel the Instant Ink contract and your printer would still work until the end of the contract period with your existing inks
Being curious I did some research and it seems that impression is false...
