Today I have found a version D uv-cut i1Pro1 (Fiery ES-1000) device. The device is uv-cut, so I think it will give a yellowish hue in bright daylight for OBA containing papers. So probably I have to use some setting in colprof to counter the uv-cut effect of this device. Because I am using the...

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...

I have to test this, but my first impression that by chance I tried to make a profile with PrintPrism with my unsupported Epson WF-7840 AIO scanner using the built-in ET-8550 scanning engine: The scan histogram seems to be very healthy and this is the 3D plot in iccview.de with the same...

Today I bought a license of the Printprism to generate rgb printer profiles. I have the ET-8550 printer/scanner so I will give it a try this weekend and see how the results are by comparing the profile quality side by side with my i1Pro2 and i1Profiler. Finger crossed and hopefully it works as...

I am trying to decrease the base lower (diameter 51.5 mm) into 49 mm with the bolean cut method in Blender, but I have tried several times to do it but it did not managed to decrease the radius of the broad base from 51.5 m to 49 mm base. I tried to decrease the whole from 51.5 to 49 mm, but...

https://www.ddisoftware.com/printprism/ This would a revolution when we can generate printer profiles without a reference chart and only a software package of $34.95..... It says even better printer profiles than a hand scanned spectro.....

Having some time now I write simple manual how to generate a simple RGB printer profile using ArgyllCMS and the very affordable CR30 colorimeter that has been proven to be very reliable and accurate by multiple users on this forum and as well by some at dpreview.com. As the necessary program...

Yesterday I received a cheap aliexpress colorimeter that measures patches on surfaces and it gets only LAB-values registered. Is there somebody here, who is capable to convert this csv file into a CGAT compatible value so it can be converted to a ti3 file. My idea is to use this cheap...

A lot of second hand i1Pro spectrophotometers (both the older i1Pro1 and the newer i1Pro2) have no license for RGB and CMYK printer profiling (in best cases only the monitor profiling option). Not everybody is found of the ArgyllCMS cryptic commands to create printer profiles, despite the...

Today I could hold on 2 bottles of vintage genuine iron gall ink: superior to any modern inks because it is water proof and permanent (not affected by so-called ink killers or rubbing and light resistant, so no fading). It writes a dark blue and oxidizes shortly into a permanent black that lasts...

Because not everybody has specially made scanning jigs/rulers for the Colormunki/i1Studio and the standard printarg command to generate Colormunki targets produces only 210 patches in the high density patch layout, a reasonable printer target, it needs at least 2 sheets of A4 to produce a...

Today I tried this very cheap aquarel paper for water colour drawing and it does a remarkable good job with pigment ink: After creating a small 285 patch target I printed an image with fine detailed leaves and branches to see if the ink crawls or not and it does indeed a remarkeable good job...

Having read this article: https://blackfiveimaging.co.uk/index.php?article=04Miscellaneous/02Random+Thoughts/Creating+a+Custom+Profiling+Target I tried to create a scanner profile using a 400 patch target with ArgyllCMS. In the package there are several files including a scanner.cht file...

Yesterday I tried to generate linearisation profiles for ABW on my Epson ET-8550 and SC-P900, but instead of improvement the shadows get crushed instead of improvement. Not sure what I did wrong: Scanning the target: saving results in to Cielab txt file and dropping to QTR-linearize.data.exe...

Thanks to @Ink stained Fingers idea using a very small target (96 patches) on a small 10x15 cm (4x6") paper to obtain a rudimentary but still a satisfactory RGB printer proifle, I took the chance to optimize the amount size (increase to the maximum amount that can be printed on small photo...

Hello everybody, Having alot of experience with 2D printers the last decades, I want to enter the world of 3D printers. Any tips about a good 3D printer that I can buy, using good aftermarket filament, heated versus non-heated beds, ease of cleaning of the printer, sound production, fitting on...

Inspired by @Ink stained Fingers I generated a small 165 patch target that can be printed on a small 10x15 cm/4x6 inch photo card and with some modifying the grey and near neutral patches in the patch editor in i1Profiler to obtain an optimum patch distribution in the RGB color space I could...

Today I received a vintage HP/GretabMacbeth Eye-One Pro, that was still sealed and included a CD-ROM with the older iMatch software. I will try to install the old software that probably will only work in 32-bit Windows versions, otherwise ArgyllCMS is the way to go ;)

Having read the Spyderprint 225 high quality target should produce nice profiles, I decided to make a custom profile based on the Spyderprint 225 patch high quality target: This profile is based on RGB: 5x5x5=125 steps + extra near neutral patches + some grey patches up to 225 patches. I...

Recently I have bought a Canon TS701 printer to print on printable PVC ID-card, being unable to find a dedicated Epson ET-8550/P900 PVC-ID card tray (strangely enough the ET-18100 has one included). I also bought some Action (a Dutch discount shop that has multiple shops across Europe) Canon...
