I'm breaking my head over this, using your provided i1Pro1 .ti3 that you made with ArgyllCMS, the resulting icc generated with ArgyllCMS gets the flattened pane. Are you sure the i1Pro1 .ti3 you shared can generate a desirable icc? I am able to generate proper icc profiles using my own ti3 files...
I get the same flattened pane when processing your i1Pro1 .ti3 with ArgyllCMS. If you get a nice profile with the i1Pro1 .ti3 you shared, please tell me what arguments you used so I can reproduce it.
I'm getting some results, can generate icc profiles from converted csv to ti3. Difference between i1Pro1 vs CR30 seems reasonable, but for some reason the profile gets flattened at a certain threshold on L*. Is this the profile you are expecting?
This appears in both the known good i1Pro1 ti3...
Great, that is the spectral data we need. But can you provide it as a csv like before, the xlsx makes reading more complicated and does not provide the proper metadata (which row/column means what) that we had before with the csv. If possible also include the SAMPLE_LOC field in the output.
The...
Could you share another scan csv but with spectral data so I can include that for you. Because the CR30 is not included as target instrument (so no illuminant spectrum preset) we can avoid inaccuracy by including the sample spectra to Argyll directly.
In my example, the NUMBER_OF_FIELDS is correct:
SAMPLE_ID RGB_R RGB_G RGB_B XYZ_X XYZ_Y XYZ_Z (7 fields)
Pharmacist introduced SAMPLE_LOC to the configuration (field 2 out of 8) but did not add the location index to the sets:
1 0.00000 0.00000 0.00000 7.404274 5.772079 12.826289 (7 fields)...
So the luminance data is available!
I used it to create a simple script to do a lab to xyz conversion, and generated a sample conversion of some of your attached zip and csv files. To avoid a deep dive into the Argyll software to save a few cents, before we try again, deliver a properly...
If your main problem is simply translating the CSV values to a ti3 (template) that should be possible with a simple parsing script. But if I understand correctly the ali colorimeter measures in LAB and should convert to RGB first for ti3 compliance? This is still possible but a lot less simple...
You will find this in the service manual. Unfortunately I could not find a free one available for your model on the internet.
However, with the power of Ctrl-F on my side, I went through a few manuals of similar XP-000 printers, looking for "reflector" and was able to locate the part. It is...
These are the same printers with only a 'different' printhead (although I assume there are no mechanical differences). You can find this in the service manual. I strongly advise you again to read it thoroughly because thus far all your questions are answered there, and you'll need the detailed...
The alignment steps are mentioned in Adjustment starting on page 209 of the service manual.
They also mention the service tool for Epson Stylus Pro 3880/3885/3890 is different from 3800/3800C/3850. Regarding your question about compatibility among those models, it mentions that the printheads...
That's a odd conclusion, and inherently false. Although grease is almost never a requirement for any mechanical system to operate, it is applied to prolong the lifespan of the parts against wear and erosion during use.
When applying a excessive amount or the wrong type of grease, it can become...
I'd guess it is something to do with the wheels gripping and feeding the tray at different strenght, or tolerance related where the tray is fed by a wheel on the left side (of your picture) and due to the loose fit will feed it at an angle on the x axis.
Crealtity is really bottom of the barrel stuff. I think they are regarded as decent because of good marketing, Ender reputation and low prices. The main appeal for example of the Ender series was its upgradeabilty. With their more recent models they step away from this and make a closed design...
You probably do not want to disassemble those tensioned gear assembly's because they are not easy to reassemble. Additionally some of those also require precise adjustment either physical or with a service program, so I recommend against it.
However, with the printer operational and easy...
I agree with this when regarding a printer that is less than 10 years old, however all mechanical parts get some synthetic grease from the factory. This has an expiration date and while it is definitely not a necessity, it doesn't hurt to apply some of the appropriate grease to protect the...
You want to be cleaning the sensors on those small PCB and the associated encoder wheels. Those measure the movement of the DC motors and are the cause of your current issue. You took some decent pictures showing that, those sensors and encoder wheels need to be completely clean.
In regards of...
I usually use either PTFE lube on sliding parts and synthetic grease on gears. What kind of crazy product did you use, adhesive grease, that sounds like two opposites.
If you think you smudged the sensors you should clean those, don't disassemble everything straight away, try to reach the...
Have you accessed the service menu yet? Perhaps it can solve your issue. Go to the home screen of the printer and tap the back button 4 times, this video explains how to access it.
The steps I would take in your situation:
1. Remove all installed printer drivers and software from computer & factory reset/initialize the new printer.
2. Use a known good printer cable, without using a hub. Disconnect all other USB devices besides the keyboard and mouse.
3. Follow the...
