I have to say that I do not know the answer to your question but AFAIK all instruments have to be driven by the ArgyllCMS drivers and if not on the list then it may not be possible to drive the instrument directly. https://www.argyllcms.com/doc/instruments.html I am not sure if the author...

Have seen a few over the past week and reported them. It seems they are getting hold of posters details that have not been around for a year or two and posting their rubbish as the original poster

Reply appreciated thank you 👍. Ahh, Datacolor and profiles, now I see. Unfortunately this company comes into a lot of criticism at least from what I have seen in professional circles. Unstable, too much variation between samples etc. etc. TBH the only Datacolor product I have used years...

Why, I thought you were happy to discuss? You did state in this thread: I only asked where you had seen the Adobe statement recommending BPC off unless really needed, which I do not think an unfair ask. I am really not trying to pick an argument here, merely trying to establish facts! Again...

I have never come across Adobe recommendation for BPC off. Any chance of a link to the source not to use BPC? In fact I have been given to understand that Adobe In most cases, doing RGB to RGB conversions with Black Point Compensation will produce desirable prints. With the option checked...

I too noticed and assumed that normal service would be resumed asap :D

Yes, the problem is that Argyll installs its own driver, although you can use Device Manager to swap between the drivers if you want to use the X Rite software. Had the same problem with my i1Studio, so I made the decision to get rid of the X-Rite software and just use ArgyllCMS...

So you are using a Mac and it is setting colour management automatically! Long time since I used Mac so not 100% sure: You are setting Colour Managing to ColorSync. Then in options you are selecting Off No Colour management; or it has been turned off already? This should I think make sure the...

The Pixl and indeed other dedicated printer test prints do not require any adjustment in editing software and should print out correctly if the print driver settings are correct for paper type and the correct and good ICC paper profile is selected. It is not really clear what you mean by photo...

Then I fear you are out of luck as the print driver will make the decision which inks to use to produce the required print hue and density.

A good point and one I cannot answer as I have never examined a print from this printer.

If you look in the print driver menu somewhere you should find an option to print labelled either B&W or Grayscale. Depending on your particular model and driver it may look similar to the attached

Hi Tobisch Just to make sure we understand could you confirm the following please: “all under control” suggests that you have calibrated your monitor to a standard e.g 110 cd/m2, D65, gamma 2.2 with an XRite or other puck is that correct? And you are also illuminating your print with its...

If your display is too bright then it is common to see dark prints. Do your prints still look too dark when you take them into another room or outside under good lighting? Do you calibrate and profile your display using an instrument?

I suspect you may be out of luck finding an inkjet printer that uses white ink that fit within your budget. AFAIK most if not all use CMYK inks and additional inks to extend gamut capabilities none use or substitute white. It maybe worthwhile investigating DTG printers that use white ink...

Just checked to see if Wolf Faust still active; seems it is according to this recent article. Author uses ArgyllCMS and CoCa for which there is a GUI (Yay!!). https://www.the-ninth.com/blog/scanner-profiling-on-a-budget

It may be possible via ArgyllCMS via Spotread (a bit tedious?) or there may be another way to input values? It may well be an interesting excercise but it is possible to buy IT 8 targets on ebay either printed on Kodak, Fuji or Agfa papers including the target data file e.g. IT-8 cards can be...

Taking the above image at face value it looks like you are missing black inks at least. But it is difficult to make any accurate judgement remotely as there are unknown factors here such as scan quality, monitor calibration, bad profile etc. In cases like this it is useful to use a printer...

Thanks for the update. Without fully understanding the requirements for your chosen print method it seems to me your biggest obstacle may be the existing camera pixel count - of course I could be wrong but.. Obviously a higher MP camera will gain you the added resolution @7"x5" and if you...

Isn't the PPI dependent on and calculated on the Lenticular lens count? You have 720 ppi to play with on an Epson printer! Your image source (camera) may not contain enough pixels to print at your final size without upsampling; this may not be a bad thing as these types of prints are not high...
