    Epson SC-P900 on new Inktec Powerchrome ink

    Actually I think the Inktec Powerchrome violet ink is probably a mix....I suggest to buy genuine Violet ink (in large cartridge of 350 ml) and suck the ink out with a syringe, like I have done. It gives a much better result.

    There is also a bug in the gui.py (@x64, @micronica ): despite you can give an external icc name, the internal icc name (that is displayed in the profile setting of PS or Qimage) is just "profile". I think this should be corrected. I had to use small ancient tool called changedescription to...

    OK, so for the moment only non-randomized patches will work. This is not a big deal, but when using several grey steps, because the hue increased with each following patch with a little but and sometimes without spacebars it is difficult to determine the end/beginning of the next patch...

    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.
