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...

In the past years I have made several target sets for the X-Rite i1Pro2 device using ArgyllCMS to create printer profiles. I want to share them with all those who have bought an i1Pro2 without an working RGB printer profiling license. All target sets are in ZIP-format containing *.ti1, *.ti2...

Thanks to The Hat who provided my this special 3D printed scanning jig for the Colormunki/i1Studio Photo I could do an interesting experience by using a special ArgyllCMS target that I have modified to be compatible with both the Colormunki/i1Studio 3D printed scanning jig and the i1Pro2...

I want to print a scanning jig for my Colormunki and asking if somebody preferably in Belgium or the EU-region willing to print and send it to me. Many thanks.

Despite the good smooth surface that can cope the ink load the poster board was a few mm too thick to be accepted by my Epson SC-P900 and unfortunately causing head strikes (despite setting it to maximum platen gap): Otherwise I could produce nice canvas photo boards that could be directly...

For those interested here is a patch set for profiling printable PVC ID cards that can be printed on by several printers (Canon, Epson) using a special PVC ID card tray. In most cases the standard setting will give a strong colour cast and with this target set (be be printed on the front and...

This morning I try to start my second Epson SC-P900 (second hand) and suddenly it gave an error 031006 and an a terrible burnt smell is coming from the printer. I am afraid this printer is for the waste bin. I have searched and it could be the mainboard fused or connectors or both. To...

Recently I bought an Canon TS705 printer, because I could not find a suitable ID Card tray for my Epson SC P900 printer (despite it supports printing on CD/DVD discs). Unfortunately the standard setting by the Canon printer was suboptimal: colours are washed out and greys have a brownish look...

For only €1.99 I bought this cheap textured and thick aqurelle paper from Action (a discount shop all around Europe). It has a nice grain texture and a weight of 300 gsm, so very thick but can be easily printed in my Epson SC-P900 with very good results.....That is: I had to increase ink usage...

Last week I finally received my Epson SC-P900 refillable cartridges from aliexpress.com. In the previous week I already received my bottles of Inktec Powerchrome from Ebay (printout24.de), but I had to wait until I received te cartridges. I ordered extra LLK and VLM, because these colours are...

I am thinking to try some Epson SC-P900 aftermarket chips that can used as an alternative to original Epson chips. The only thing is that most items are specified to be one time chip..... That is a bit confusing, because I had once bought refillable cartridges with one time chips for my Epson...

Yesterday I installed my Epson SC-P900 cartridges that is supplied with an extra waste ink tank inside the large box.... I now understand why: Above the weight of the new and unused waste ink tank: about 100 grammes But after the long priming and purging the tubing system and print head...

Recently due to some strange guy revering continously to Kevin's site: bchtechnolgies.com I have found some blatant plagiarism of my work: https://bchtechnologies.com/blog/optimizing-printer-profiles-colormunki-native-software-vs-argyllcms/ original post by me...
