    Possibility to convert csv-file with only L*A*B* values into a ArgyllCMS ti3 file

    I took the time to reread the patches again, this time hopefully in the right configuration from A1-A19, B1-B19....up to the last row. @crenedecotret: I suggest to use this csv file to have a look at (others are also invited to have a look at).

    Possibility to convert csv-file with only L*A*B* values into a ArgyllCMS ti3 file

    This is the upload of the files in a single zip file. NOTE: I probably have read each row in reverse order (So instead A1>A19 I did read from A19>A1, so each set of 19 readings should probably be reversed in order to fit into the ti3 file, as each row has 19 patches and in total 12 rows). The...

    Possibility to convert csv-file with only L*A*B* values into a ArgyllCMS ti3 file

    How to use an unlicensed i1Pro spectro with i1Profiler and ArgyllCMS

    Yes I know: It would be nice that ArgyllCMS not only gives a sound but also drives the visual lights in the spectro to tell you the scanning is succesfull (green) or not (red). But now it is possible to generate printer profiles with this trick without a license for i1profiler, but you will need...

    Possibility to convert csv-file with only L*A*B* values into a ArgyllCMS ti3 file

    Yesterday I received a cheap aliexpress colorimeter that measures patches on surfaces and it gets only LAB-values registered. Is there somebody here, who is capable to convert this csv file into a CGAT compatible value so it can be converted to a ti3 file. My idea is to use this cheap...

    Are ALL Epson Ecotank ink bottles Sold without their cardboard boxes non genuine ?

    The printer you are using is pigment based: anyhow if the ink inside the bottles is completely transparent (dye ink) watch out. It should be milky and opaque.

    Original ink bottles are sealed with a special holographic sticker with Epson on it to secure against counterfeit.

    How to use an unlicensed i1Pro spectro with i1Profiler and ArgyllCMS

    Asking for people with Fiery EFI-1000/EFI-2000 spectro (physically the same as the X-Rite i1Pro1/i1Pro2) if it is possible to use the above method using the i1Profiler software/driver and exporting the scanned data to a CGAT spectral txt format and converting it to ArgyllCMS proprietary .ti3...

    How to use an unlicensed i1Pro spectro with i1Profiler and ArgyllCMS

    This morning I did a softproofing using both profiles: one generated with i1Profiler and the other with ArgyllCMS. For the sake of comparison I did not change the settings (like neutralise greys or pump up contrast color in the i1Profiler and saving in version 2 icc standard). Now which one does...

    How to use an unlicensed i1Pro spectro with i1Profiler and ArgyllCMS

    A lot of second hand i1Pro spectrophotometers (both the older i1Pro1 and the newer i1Pro2) have no license for RGB and CMYK printer profiling (in best cases only the monitor profiling option). Not everybody is found of the ArgyllCMS cryptic commands to create printer profiles, despite the...

    The king of inks: iron gall ink

    Today I could hold on 2 bottles of vintage genuine iron gall ink: superior to any modern inks because it is water proof and permanent (not affected by so-called ink killers or rubbing and light resistant, so no fading). It writes a dark blue and oxidizes shortly into a permanent black that lasts...

    A basic guide (see post #1) to setting up ARGYLL CMS profiling on your computer

    That is perfecly OK. I suggest something like -g32 or -g64. Printers with K3 ink set will do fine with less grey patches.

    Ink cartridge advise for my Epson P800

    Depending on your area (US or EU) you can buy refillable cartridges (no chip transfer needed: the cartridges have their own chip unlike the previous Pro 3800/3880 that works with a chip sensor that reads the original chip) or refill the original cartridges (modification needed of the one-way...

    Maxify PGI-1200 Refillable Cartridges - Leaky Blue?

    Actually there is no blue ink in CMYK printers only cyan. Blue ink only exists in dedicated photo printers and is actually a type of violet/purple ink. Magenta too is not red, because red only exists in some dedicated photo printers like the XP-15000 and the R1800/R2000 printer and is more a...

    Trying to generate linearisation profiles with QTR: results are worse

    Not sure what I did wrong last time, but probably printing the target was printed using the wrong setting: I now choose the setting: let printer manage color and in the printer driver I choose: ABW > dark. After drying the target I scanned the target and export the data in CIELAB format txt and...
