Hello! Typically you do throw an existing profile at targen and it will magically give you patches.
I just decided to do something different to try and get more useful patches, then combine the information for the first and second profile, something argyllcms dosent do
I couldnt resist and I did a test print.
For 60 patches TOTAL, it's not terrible. For color images, I'm seeing a very small color cast towards yellow but it's only noticeable side by side with the 1144 patch profile. Black and white is pretty much unuseable with this profile.
This was matte...
I believe I was able to figure out the two step process or at very least do someting useful.
Here is a comparaison between my profiling tool (with new fancy 2 step process) and a multi-page profile I did with argyllcms
Now the first thing you are going to say is that it looks bad, but there...
It's sort of a "base" margin that's all around the paper. I noticed most printers will have something built in. On windows my R2000 was 3mm unless it was set to borderless. On linux it defaulted to 0mm. The option is there basically to fix any driver inconsistencies. By default it will...
I doubt it will ever be the same. Argyllcms was never really intended to be used outside of the command line. I1Profiler was built for a GUI
An example is the "split" color patches to check for errors. Chartread has no way of showing us the values for the strips. It keeps everything in memory...
Just for the sake of transparency... This was all done with AI. Claude Opus for the heavy lifting and an open source au model for the coding.
I don't know how to code but I know about operating systems work in general (I'm a systems administrator) and know the color managed printing path on...
Hello! The software will read the printer properties available in CUPS and present them to the user. It won't allow sizes the driver dosent know about.
I don't own an Et-8550 so I'm not sure what the driver looks like. I think that printer is not supported (yet) in guttenprint so it probably...
It can but it depends on the printer.. Most guttenprint drivers have an "uncorrected" color mode. I just convert the image to the printer icc profile and send it off to CUPS (with flags to not alter the source in the process). This is similar process to what we do in windows except the...
Hello,
I just wanted to make everyone aware that I created a print layout engine for Linux, similar to what's in Qimage for windows users but only with a subset of features that I needed. This is completely open source and available on github https://github.com/crenedecotret/vibeprint
Would...
Hi everyone
Just thought I would drop this here... it's not entirely done but when it is I will provide instructions. This is on LINUX but python is very portable
The "generate" and "profile" portions are not done.. those are the easiest to do. Having the software read the row layout...
Hi there! Interesting work! What approach are you using?
Recently, I've been making different profiles using the same ti3 files but different values for the -r parameter (smoothing). I feed Gemini tiffs from the tonal response curves I get from dispcal's profile information tool. It does...
I'm still so surprised by all the positive feedback about the new product. I used the previous software by DDI (Profile Prism). It worked OK but it was very scanner and paper dépendant. I eventually gave up on it and bought a new at the time colormunki
You can't.. Lightroom will always use color management to print. Search for Adobe color print utility aka ACPU to print your target. When your profile is done you can then use it in lightroom
I had a look at the script. It will ask you what device you are using and how many patches you want. It then holds your hand a little bit, explaining each step like printing, starting chartread for you, etc. I could probably make something with powershell or python (to make it portable) if...
These are the same settings I typically use but with a few changes
- The table size I set to Maximum quality. I don't know if this actually helps or not
- ICC... I use version 2. This is probably not an issue nowadays.
The top section affects the perceptual intent only which is probably why...
Time to report back
I scanned in the patches from your targets and also the ones I created myself with my "pkpatches" tool that uses targen in the background. The result is pretty good. And I completely agree the patch generator is nonsense in i1profiler. add one patch too many and you...
Thanks!! Below is the message that got me confused in i1profiler and then looking for other solutions. From your demo, it seems to only be a warning but I didn't want to take any chances. I printed out your target yesterday evening and will scan it in tonight. fingers are crossed :) I...
Thank you! Much appreciated! The borderless trick is pretty interesting. Looking at the images in i1profiler
It looks like it will work, except for maybe two things I need to sort out. First, qimage is reporting a strange paper size when I switch to borderless/retain size (6.152 x 4.2...
Hello.. Sorry to resurrect this old thread.. I was wondering if one of you had a decent target for the original i1pro rev d for 4x6 paper that would fit on maybe 4 or 5 sheets?
It could help out those of us with efi es1000 devices or old gretag macbeth spectros that need slightly bigger...
