OK I just used the i1Profiler built-in T9.txt cgat file as a base and modified it a bit to have 924 patches and the space bars are now much more logical than my previous TC924.ti1 file that seems to be fawlty:
second page:
I will let it dry and scan this target this evening and report back.
@itsab1989,
I have sent you some ti1-cgat-pfx file combination that Claude can have a look at: I have some very interesting i1Profiler pxf-files (patch sets) that I want to convert to ArgyllCMS ti1 files in order to be available in ChromIQ.
Many thanks already,
Nelson
Maybe a possibility to convert cgat and i1profiler pxf files into argyllcms ti1 too ? This way I can convert the Tc918 target into argyllcms more effectively.
This morning I had some time. Already better, but still not 100% ok, to be improved (TC924 target):
Still banding and strange colour casts in the greys.
OK thanks for the help with Claude: I have reprinted my TC924 and my TC918 with extende grays again, but this time with randomized patch layout and report back. For the moment I will probably report back this weekend, unless I have some time the next evenings.
Asking someone with an i1Pro1/2 to check out my built-in TC924 target and report back how it behaves in softproofing ? Just to be sure it is not me, but the workflow itself is faulty.
Not sure what is causing this: maybe the ti1/ti2 file is corrupt, but I get this horrible profile (tested with both ChromIQ and ArgyllCMS command prompt):
Best to have the current version as BETA, because it is really not OK for the moment.
I just used: load ti1 file and I choosed the tc918.ti and had choosed some custom /paper/patch/spacer sizes (see printtarg arguments) to have those patches arranged in this particular design.
See the printscreen of the ChromIQ argument window
@itsab1989 :
What do you think about these 2 targets I have redesigned for A4: I had to add extra black spacers between two adjacent colours that are so close and sometimes throwing an read error (not enough patches read, as two patches are seen as one patch because of the minimal difference)...
I am now trying to make a better standard layout for the TC9.18 target on 2 sheets of A4/Letter with an entry form that can be added to the package for a better scanning experience for the i1Pro scanning board (the paper can be completely inserted into the paper clamp and be aligned on the right...
I just repeated the TC9.18 + Extended Grays workflow again to be sure, but there is something serious wrong (probably in the ti1 file itself):
softproof looks horrible and not normal:
The following setting gives exact evenly distributed rows, so maybe the special ChromIQ legenda (printer/date/paper/profile name) can be added to this TC9.18 workflow. @itsab1989 :
Especially the printtarg arguments are important for 2 exactly the same row sizes for both pages (page 1/2 and...
OK now trying the standard TC9.18 target (already having alot of stained near neutral ramps):
Workflow is now perfect (softproofing no longer strange colours):
OK now trying randomized patch order in order to get maximum color difference between color patches:
Randomized with B/W spaces no problem at all, thus we should change from non-randomized with B/W spaces as a default workflow:
OK it was succesful:
But the softproofing is horrible, so I...
OK, trying to read row Y (on the following page): a cosmetic error:
next page is row Y, it says: scanning row z:
All rows read, but the marker indicates the previous row being read:
With B/W spacers it is better:
However the target is not optimal, as the non-randomized layout gives...
I am trying to test the TC9.18 + extended grays target tomorrow. I have already printed the 2 sheets and will scan the targets tomorrow and report back.
