    Is there an inkjet printer that can produce sharp texts like offset one?

    Adding shade sound like a great trick; and I will need to see this. @palombian, you meant this type of printer can give excellent texts on the dark background? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NNVDPVO @martin0reg, I have seen Epson (Epson EcoTank ET-4450) has employed such PBK for textst too, but how...

    Is there an inkjet printer that can produce sharp texts like offset one?

    I am thinking of switching to Canon too, and I am looking for one from $300-$800. Can you help recommend one with crispy texts? Have you tested the reversed text, white text on black background? @Ink stained Fingers,the paper is 300g glossy coated.

    A basic guide (see post #1) to setting up ARGYLL CMS profiling on your computer

    One you got the archive file .zip or .rar > right click to extract (you can extract wherever you like but I prefer in C directory to make it short and easy for the process) After extraction you will see the Bin folder; in here there are drivers which you can use to install and replace...

    ArgyllCMS stops working with ColorMunki in Win10 64x

    I have been using Argyll 1.8.3 in Win10 64x with Colormunki just fine until today which I also noticed the device stopped blinking. Then I switched to native driver and it's working fine with colormunki app, so I tried re-installing the Argyll driver and re-added the variable to PATH and...

    I tried using the native app of ColorMunki and for the last 5th row I, printed out on white and measured from it to generate the second target. The result is not so satisfactory either. Then I tested printing with the other profile I created for earlier for the white wood-free paper, to my...

    Yes, I also tried putting two white sheets at the bottom and top, it still couldn't get passed. And what strange to me is why it can go fine with the first 4 stripes?! P.S: Also emailed support of x-rite, they keep insisting I need to print on white whereas I am to work with color paper :( And...

    A basic guide (see post #1) to setting up ARGYLL CMS profiling on your computer

    Has anyone tried with kraft (brown) paper? The colormunki refused to read with Argyll and it also won't read the last (5th) row in its native program. I tried a few prints and it's all the same, but with the white paper, it's working just fine!!!

    Just got informed that it is the transfer matter paper. Maybe this is why measuring on paper is not going to get the right gamut until we transfer it to the t-shirt and measure from there?!

    .tif file: https://www.dropbox.com/s/yuf6xqex34ctepv/soweic_480_02.tif?dl=0 I had to skip 'W' patch. From the generated profile, GamutVision doesn't really show any bad color? https://www.dropbox.com/s/ghbdsueck3v4gtz/EPSON_T1100_PremiumMatte_soweic%20Sun%2011-22-2015.icc?dl=0

    A basic guide (see post #1) to setting up ARGYLL CMS profiling on your computer

    @RogerB , I tried #2 in 'ArgProf#2.bat', it worked great. Anyway, last time it came up with one color patch 'W' which doesn't matter how many time I tried, it showed reading inconsistent which didn't happen with the rest of the patches till AC (I am using 480). Is this the error of the print or...

    A basic guide (see post #1) to setting up ARGYLL CMS profiling on your computer

    You are so right!!! I changed to -d2, now the .tif file generated is in RGB mode. And if later we plan to make another icc profile, we just delete the .ti3 > print the 480 .tif targets with another printer > read without going through step one generating .ti1? I also resize the patches in A4...

    So preconditioning profile is previous generated .icc or .ti3? How do we reference to improve the result? Or is it like ColorMuni first target color chart which is needed to be read to generate the second patch? Yes V1.8.3, there used to output as RGB before, but now it ouput as CMYK. One more...

    I am sorry to bring it back, but this is one of the best threads for Argyll and ColorMuni ever found on the net. I am using Argyll_V1.8.3 with 480 patch which is provided on the front page. It outputs .icc profile to CMYK which can't be loaded by Photoshop, but I can select the profile from...

    Thank you for the update. I noticed the one done with CAP480 is giving darker colors than one by CAP957? I also experience the same darker color CAP480 with some paper, I will try CAP957 if that will improve indeed.

    My New Epson Stylus Photo 1500w (artisan 1430) !!!

    Yes, that will be my second option according to your testing. The international shipping rate ($12.95) is good too though I can see it twice the price of CoralGraph which is $170 per 6,000ml.
