Hi all,
with my XP 15000 (European model), i'm refilling original cartridges (resetting them with an Aliexpress resetter), and i'm refilling them with Epson 106 for Black, Yellow, Magenta and Cyan, for Red and Grey i'm using the Epson 478XL original cartridges (i got an offer and taken 4 of...
Hi all,
i too have the epson xp 15000 european model, with resetter and i use original Epson cartridges
for now i'm refilling only the Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow with Epson 106 inks (they would be the same Claria HD of the epson original 378XL inks for the xp 15000),
now my questions are...
thanks for your answer,
so 256 would be the max for the Grey (-g) to be used for creating a pattern chart.
what about White (-e) and Black (-b) options ? 8 are enough for 256 greys ?
21 enough for a b/w photo print ? but how accurate in reproducing b/w "colors" ?
i don't talk about a normal B/W print, i talk about a selling print or an archive print, something you want to see in the future that has the "perfect" rendition (good transition in greys and blacks).
I know that...
Just a couple of questions about your batch
How more accurate is this profile versus 480/600 patches profiles ? and in what ? colors or b/w prints or in fading effects ?
Why use 335 grey patches when usually 128 are enough for B/W prints ?
957 patches WOW, my last charts got 860 patches on...
now that i have a profile for the Ferrania Optijet Matte Paper i would like to try it, so i copied the icc profile in the /Library/ColorSync/Profiles directory but i can't find it (like paper) in Preview neither in Adobe Color Print Utility.
Does i have to use Lightroom/Photoshop to use...
Hi all,
i began to experiment with Argyllcms to profile my paper, for my Epson XP 15000 printer with CMYK + Red + Grey (6 inks in all)
My device is an i1pro rev. d no uv-cut
My targen charts are generated in this way
******** MAC OS SCRIPT ****
#!/bin/bash
TIME=`date "+%Y%m%d-%H%M"`...
too much ink is possible, but i don't know how to tell the printer to use less ink
wrong side, i don't think so, if i put the sheet under a light, the printed side is brillant and shine while the other side is not so brillant and muted white
thanks for the link i will read it later
Hi again i'm comparing the ICC profile for Ferrania Matte Paper with the ICC profile fo Epson Matte Paper, i know the paper quality is different, but i wanted to see which has more gamut.
I didn't find any software to compare the icc profiles so i used...
I learnt about A4R from Argylcms, it has in the paper size choices.
stratman: sorry i didn't see that argylcms mailing list has a search engine, i will look into it.
thanks again
After the long wait i got the first profile for the first paper
Ferrania Optijet Matte paper 120gsm
i got these results at the end
Profile check complete, peak err = 5.199439, avg err = 0.464654, RMS = 0.606981
Are these values good ?
ok don't worry to much about it, the question was, why if i print an A4 tiff file it is bigger than A4 sheet ?
If i print Borderless (to have the full size of the A4) the first row is thin versus all the others, i suspect that the Argyllcms notes on the side of the chart is enlarging the...
stratman, just to clarify, no i didn't join the mailing list, because i know how those work, usually you post and someone answer, but what i mean is if i want to search in the mail archive (maybe someone had my same troubles) it usually can't be done because a search engine is not included, but...
Hi stratman, i'm sorry to see that i disturb you, i was supposing this was a printer forum and is the only where i found information about argyllcms and colormunky combination.
I thought that writing here someone could answer to my questions and so was, so i'm sorry again if i disturb you...
Does someone know the unit of the Total lamp usage indicate from argyllcms software ?
I hope it is showed in seconds, my total lamp usage is 10753,821289
If it is in seconds i have a new device 10753/60=179 minutes / 60 about 3h of use
I tried to search for it but no information found, the...
finally i succeded to scan a patterns chart, but it was with only 324 patches but enlarged at 1.3 ratio
I had to understand how slow i would be to make the scan in the right way else "strip read failed".
Without a perfect ruler i will not be able to scan reduced patches easily.
I will do more...
ok i solved i was keeping the device on the white plate when measuring, now it passed all the tests
now i will have to test the charts sheet with argyllcms to sse if i can read the pattern
i installed the xrite diagnostic v4.1.2, it sees my device (it says i1pro), iit makes the tests but then tells faiiled, also if pass all the tests (they were all succeded), i upgraded the version to v4.2.1 and later but my i1pro rev. D is not supported.
How can i verify the device is working ...
for sure :)
the courier brought the device at home 5 minutes ago, i will check it with the diagnostics when i will get at home later, if i use the X-rite diagnostic do i have to install some drivers or will it be found automatically ?
