That is a great example of eloquently stated drivel made up from crap it read on the internet. I can't see a single correct statement in it. This is supposed to be the future? Wait till people stop bothering to put anything on the internet because AI scraping engines are the only thing...

Today I worked on a jig to attach the CR30 spectrophotometer to an old ender 3 clone printer I have. It works pretty well although I still have a bit of tweaking to do. The build plate is 220mm square. I can't use all of it because the CR30 sits forward of where the hot end was. 26 rows and...

Or you could just not use -r in printtarg to generate a fully randomised target and my awk script to generate the ti3 file. The script also takes csv files straight out of colorQC 2 with (an untested) version for csv files with semicolons and commas messed up by locales. That said I don't buy...

I couldn't find any good information or diagram of how the automatic level cut off works. I suspect in principle it is something like this The filling tube is on the left and a breather tube capped with breathable film is on the right. The bottles sort of 'glug' when filling and I suspect...

It is a photograph of my ET-8550 screen. Automatically presented when you open the ink tank cover.

I saw this mentioned on DPReview (where I don't participate) and thought huh? So I checked and there it is: The only thing I can think it might be talking about is that inserting the bottle always releases a little ink and doing that repeatedly could fill the tank past the normal automatic cut...

I just keep my X1C blocked by router firewall. I recently took the risk of updating my X1C firmware from the last pre authorisation crap version to the current one. Not sure I should have bothered. It looks prettier, not really easier to use, and I have yet to notice any improved performance...

To keep POW going... A Cormorant taking in some Autumn Sunshine.

I have a cheap circular food dehydrator with cut out trays that will take 3 1kg spools and go up to 70C. I use it on most new spools and measure weight loss to know it was worthwhile. I have a load of paper sachets of silica gel and I dry them in the dehydrator. I store all spools in zip lock...

I already had this box of springs from Aliexpress. I made the holes they fit in snug so they don't fall out. I had a strange problem with the springs not making electrical contact with the tape. I bent the wire at that end of the spring towards the centre and outwards to make a sort of prong...

Some lithium rechargeable AAA batteries were delivered today. I want them for things that don't work well on the lower voltage of NiMH cells. I got the type that you just stick 5v across to charge. I have bench power supplies and could get 5v from many USB sources. I needed a holder that would...

What we want is to print the colors as they are in the image. The problem is colors in the image outside the printer's gamut and what you do with those colors depends on the rending intent. You could choose to clip them with relative or absolute colorimetric intent or try to maintain...

Profiles provided to colprof only affect saturation and perceptual intents. I don't fully understand the point of providing a profile to colprof. In the op's profiles there is a huge gamut difference depending on rendering intent. There is much less difference between intents in the...

I thought I pretty much already did here with awk not python. For beneix the bad part about the CR30 is it is a bit tedious reading patches one at a time. The good part is the whole thing costs less than Calibrite want just for a software upgrade that currently doesn't work any better than the...

You can find hundreds of web references telling you: Or something similar. It isn't specific to inkjet printers. The color mixing bleed seems to usually be called 'ink bleed'. As for the OP I assume you are trying to drum up a bit more activity on the forum. An admirable idea which doesn't...

I had a quick look and saw 60 bytes sent for each button press. I expect those 60 bytes mostly contain 31 spectral measurements. I would look at spectral measurement values in ColorQC 2 at try to find that data in those 60 bytes. That said I don't think ColorQC is too painful to use. Trying to...

That would be much more complicated. I envisage a jig like this The CR30 is a loose fit in the jig main part. The collar around the CR30 is fixed. The jig lifts the CR30 by the collar, moves it to the next patch, lowers it to the target then drops some more to briefly press the CR30 button...

I see ConradH asking about CR30 communications on DPReview. I don't participate there. FYI the CR30 USB interface is just a serial port implemented with a CH340 USB -> serial chip. While connected you will see the CR30 in windows device manager under serial ports as "USB-SERIAL CH340". There...

A small, but, useful update to the target generators, ti3 generation script, and instructions.

And a few batch files named paper_sizexpatch_countxpatch_size to generate various targets on one or two sheets.
