A small suggestion: would it possible to program the layout of the target generated for i1pro1/2/3 from this:
Into something like this (patches moved to the right and downwards):
The reason is this when you put the target on the scanning table:
It must be pressed under a paper clamp and...
The reason I prefer to have an UTP connected printers in my network: this is the most stable connection, so all devices wired and wireless can equally connect to them via the router.
My commands for this particular profile:
targen -v -d2 -G -f648 -g128 -e4 -B4 -N0.75 -648-target
For scanning with my i1Pro2 I use this:
chartread -v -H -T0.4 648-target
For generating the profile this is my command (batch file called: makeprofile.bat):
----------------------
@echo off...
OK, I just keep on posting feedback. For comparison here is my profile generated with old school commands in dos box for a 648-patch target:
Above profile seems to be legit and here is the profile in action in softproofing in Qimage:
The profile is ok with the old fashioned command typing...
The latest version also removes the scanning arrow (showing which row is being read by the spectro), that was present in the previous version: it was very convenient to show which row is being read, especially in the new version the contrast is so low I can hardly read the letters in the command...
Thanks for the update. I find the light version almost unreadable, because the letters are so light in my case.
But I still cannot get a good profile, despite 600 patches:
I get a very strange flatten 3D profile:
The profile is unusable when I try soft proofing checked:
OK, it was my fault: I was using the older version 3.4.1 and I just upgraded to 3.5.0 and how the green patches are gone with the preconditioning profile checked:
I just downloaded the latest version and I tried it again:
This seems to be nicer: also the spacing is better (within the boundaries of the scanning jig of the i1Pro2: starts on white and stops on white). But when I tried a preconditioning profile I get this:
Have a look at the dummy...
Some extra updates:
The systems hangs and does not generate the target when using a preconditioning target to generate a new set of patches. I have to close the program.
I get this:
When I hit the generate chart (with the pre-conditioning profile selected): the system hanged.
Another try...
Hello,
I tried the version for Windows and here are som glitches:
-profile generation for i1Pro1/2/3: the standard setting will cause the strip length a bit too long for the scanning jig to encompass from paper white to paper white: this causes an error that "not enough patches read" as the...
The effect of the profile:
Before the profile I used the standard color management by the printer itself using the ink density setting -20% to prevent pooling so to have good comparison with the profile corrected print also using a ink density setting of -20%:
left print: print with dedicated...
I have bought an Epson ET-18100 (L18050) printer, mainly for the PVC ID card printing capabilities and the CcMmYK 6-color printing engine, similar to previous Epson 1500W A3+ printer that only used tiny cartridges and did not had a user removable waste ink tank (I used a Printer Potty to...
A slightly improved version with 576 patches so the there are no dummy patches in the 13x18 cm version (last image). A slight rearrangement for the 10x15 cm photo card target: 12x12 per sheet (12x12x4=576 patches) instead of 11x13 and 12x16 per sheet for the 13x18 cm photo card target...
The idea of a 2 step-method with 98 patch start target + 98 patch secondary target like the 50 + 50 Colormunki/i1Studio method would be nice and probably produce better profiles than 50 + 50 patches as more sample points are used to sample the RGB color space.
Can this software also print with color management disabled for print targets ? Problem is the right linux Epson/Canon driver that can handle media types and resolution, unlike Windows/Mac drivers.
PGI-560/CLI-561 are cartridges with integrated printhead and those are known to be very difficult to be refilled properly. The problem with bad ink flow is caused by a bubble/bubbles of air above the nozzles that prevent the ink to flow well...this causes bad ink flow and like you have said: the...
