    Init problems with 3880

    Hello all! When I turn the printer on, it goes through its initialization procedure. During this process, the print head moves right to the capping station. This is where it makes some unusual repetitive sounds. It is like two cogged wheels are slipping against each other. I may know what has...

    CMYK measurement data

    I am working to create a CMYK profile for a RIP. Is there relatively inexpensive software that will permit me to measures a CMYK target to end up with CMYK measurement data? Also, where can I find CMYK targets? I am going to be using Copra to generate the profile.

    Creating an excellent profile with i1Photo Pro 2?

    I have been on a quest to find the most accurate profile for my photo editing needs. I have tried SpyderPrint, Colormunki Photo, and the i1Photo Pro 2. I have found that the Colormunki provides very good profiles considering the 50+50 target that is used. I thought the i1Pro would be able to do...

    You know what the problem is with SpyderPrint?

    Hello! I have both Colormunki Photo and SpyderPrint. I have been comparing the two. In order to do this, I have purchased ColorThink Pro. It is a bit buggy and idiosyncratic, but it works. I compared them in just two ways: gamut and color accuracy to a specified color list. My focus here is the...
