I just tried it in a 3880 and I'm impressed. My L* went from 9.0 down to 3.5 off the basICColor test image with the two black starting patches on the beginning of each page. My old ones measured 9.0, and this new ink measured out to a much lower 3.5. Same held true for another glossy paper as...

Anyone use this new photo black ink yet? If so, did you get a better dMax black with it? http://shop.inkjetmall.com/ConeColor-Pro-ink-700ml-HD-Photo-Black.html W. Fisher

Hey Roger! I really do like that Innova Warm Cotton Gloss IFA45 for portraits that you recommended. It has added lot of snap to the portraits over a canvas I was using when looking at them side-by-side. Being warmer, it helps a lot with the skin color overall and the blacks are very deep and...

I agree with Roy. Some of the high-end notebooks (Sagar?) are getting to the 99% Adobe RGB if they're not already more. I watched some Creative Live class where the compositor (i.e. A retoucher who is more like an illustrator.) was using some $6,500 Windows calibrated laptop or notebook for...

Found this in the FAQ section of BasICColor's website and thought it interesting. » I get unsatisfying results when calibrating a MacBook. What can I do? Placement of the measuring device directly opposite the 'Apple' symbol on the backside of the screen negatively affects the calibration...

That head alignment looks odd. I'll guess it was the automatic one and not manually set, but it looks like #4 is off where it picked 4 and maybe manually selecting 2 or 3 would be a better fit? I'd also try re-installing the printer drivers or see if there are newer ones. If those two don't...

Mine acted up when rotating the dial to calibrate. Finally it wouldn't work right with the software as well as the calibrate part. I called X-rite and they told me "To send it in and they would replace it." It was more than two years old and they sent me a whole new boxed one for free, even...

Thanks Roy for the video link. I watched it and to my surprise the Epson Glossy proifle I made pretty much follows the one you captured from the video with regards to the hue and saturation. Problem is that it is in 2D (Yxy) and loses the L* values for the lightness and darkness of the color...

ISF, thanks for the image. Sort of matches my findings where the greens punch through the sides of the sRGB standard or frame while falling within in it in other colors. While talking to one of the Eizo rep's at a conference, he mentioned their new CG series is more than 100% of the Adobe 1998...

Just curious as to what color space the 3880 can really fill. My rough understanding is it cannot fill an Adobe 1998 space/gamut/whatever no matter what or how good your profile or combo is. sRGB seems the limit for mine. I found something on Breathing Color's blog where the author found much...

Sort of curious as one printer I use says "It is no better than sRGB and why they only take image files in sRGB and not Adobe 1998 or ProPhoto as they are a waste and lose some colors." I thought the 3880 was a full Adobe 1998 RGB printer (or maybe it was the monitor?), but seems ColorThink Pro...

Thanks Roger! Never tried Innova and I see it is readily available in the States from my supplier. Just ordered a pack of 13x19 25 sheets to try out. W.F.

I'm sort bored with the luster and canvas for portraits and need something new. Matte is too dull. Glossy is, well, too glossy. Something with a bit of skin-like texture or a bit of tooth perhaps? Any recommendations of maybe something new or different out there to try out in portrait land...

Walker, when will this magic elixir be available for sale? I suspect most who refill or are into the Piezo stuff already have a means to calibrate their gear. W.F.

You're lost? Where do you think I am? ;o) Sort of odd that I also got a yellow/green skin image print back from a pro lab too. I know they use a CMYK printer for aluminum metal plate (dye-sub) prints so might be something there. Now I wonder if my notebook's screen calibration software or...

ISF, I got this late last night and was thinking about it - and most of the night too! The paper and printer profile was made with the Colormunki Photo or possibly the i1 PhotoPro 2 setup. I almost always use Qimage Ultimate for the print as I like its control and memory of settings. That...

Calibrated screen, printer, etc. done with i1 PhotoPro2 hardware and software on HP Advanced Glossy paper with Epson 3880. Even tried with Basiccolor software (dropRGB, Catch 5, etc.) but yet my prints still have a sickly green/cyan tint in the skin tone. Landscapes are fine, but skin color is...

Yeah, sort of disturbing to see one Epson profile show 604,387 colors available, and the next profile for a different surface paper of theirs also shows 604,387 colors available too and same manufactured time stamp. Fishy? Mine was with the Pictorico Gloss White Film where it went off the...

I went to some printer's school and found the Epson profiles for their glossier surfaces all had the exact same gamut profile in ColorThink. All of them overlapped identical. Even the same date stamps on each and total colors present. Only thing that differed were the paper surface...

Fwiw, I was just looking at the GamutVision website and found it is now FREE since it is no longer being supported. ColorThink Pro 3 is $399. GamutVision may show a bit more detail inside the gamut than ColorThink, but I don't know. My rough look at GamutVision version 1.3.7 shows it for PC...
