yes the workflow is ok, but the sublimation ink: most use a special RIP to print the pictures on textile. NOTE: the target must be measured AFTER the sublimation is transferred on the T-shirt and properly dried and cured and THEN you measure the target, because this is the end result.
I suggest to try to make profile on normal paper and compare it to an exisiting profile you use for that paper type and see if your modus operandi is done properly. Normally those profile should overlap each other more or less. I have don this with several paper/ink/printer combination and the...
You might have at try with this target (It might be same you have downloaded
I have also included a smaller target that does not need the special Colormunki/i1Studio 3D printed jig to be scanned successfully: The 325 patch Colormunki target can be scanned like this...
You could have save the money for the Calibrite software: it is compatible with the free CCCalibrite or the i1Studio software (older version), no need to pay for the Calibrite 3.0 software.
Are you printing with a RIP or a standard printer driver: note the target is for RGB printer drivers and RIP programs need CMYK targets. The white value be about the Lab value above 90. x x. The 36.2 is very dark for white. Do you have a normal printer not for textile: try to make a standard RGB...
Hello,
I use
-----------
test mode (M0)
light source angle (D50/2 degrees)
L
A
B
400 nm
.....up to
700 nm

Be sure to check the scanning mode into D50 and 2 degrees, this is how the i1Pro does its work.
all other information I have removed
I presume you did execute a nozzle check before printing your target ? If the nozzle check is ok I will try to upload another target for you this evening and try that one.
The scanning must be done very slowly and steady: start/place the scanning eye on a white area before the row (to be scanned) and press on the button. ArgyllCMS will give a peep sound, after this sound keep holding the button pressed (do not release) and move in about 4-5 seconds in a steady...
I've got 10/10....but I have to made a dedicated guess at question 8
But actually the last question there is something interestign about the invention of printing with movable type are in fact the Chinese, maybe hundreds of years before Gutenberg, but since the Chinese character system force...
This evening I tried a unknown double side HP photo paper on my infamous Canon TS705 and produced 2 profiles: on with CR30 the other with i1Pro1:
Softproofing: perceptual (BPC) left with CR30 and right with i1Pro1
Gamut view in iccview.de:
For those interested and want see both profiles...
@Epatcola : how is experience with the profiles generated with the CR30 to have a second opinion who can/cannot confirm my findings about using this cheap colorimeter for generating printer profiles. Please report back what you think about the printer targets generated using this device.
For those interested in using this colorimeter to create printer profiles, be sure to get the CR30 and not the CR10 or the CR20 as the CR30 is the most accurate device (according to the specs).
That is some really nice target. I might 3D print your aligment ruler this weekend and give it a try. However not sure if @x64 already managed to enable the possibility of randomizing the patch configuration in order to match the csv data with a scrambeld ti2 file in order to generate the ti3...
Hi Micronica: there is some cheating involved: I use photoshop to stretch and squeeze the whole thing for the patches to become square: this is not possible with printtarg only: you will end with elongated patches as always.
my command is: printtarg -v -ii1 -r -b -A0.5 -T360 -M8 -p155x240...
What I would suggest to add an extra option to enable/disable space bars (wether black/white (-b) or colored (-c) ) and also the option to change space bar(-A.xx) width and use 8 or 16 bit resolution for the patches ( -t360 vs -T360: 8 versus 16 bit patches at 360 dpi resolution)
EDIT: I...
One thing: since the target is meant for RGB printer profiles, you should NOT enable custom ink limits: this can cause pooling when your paper does absorb that much ink. That function is meant for CMYK printer profiles, where it is very important to determine ink limits.
So if you generate a...
Today I did again a test with the larger 247 patch target that has extra grey steps and it really does a fantastic job the CR30 with ArgyllCMS.
I used my difficult Canon TS705 that tends to print greys in a rather brownish sepia tone instead of neutral greys without proper profiles. The target...
