I did some 8550 matte profiles that went ... blue. With the VFA setting you can get it to print with the Pigment black. Keep us informed please! Edmund

you press in the teeny button on the side of the base and the spot target flap pops up

Hi there! Having fun printing? I've just bought an 8550 and put up a blog:

Ah well, so that's what'll happen when I reach my second childhood :)

I never realized how rude I was when I was younger :) Edmund

The general problem is doubtless ugly; when some parameters are roughly known by the factory, I guess you get some results which are sufficient for most people's use. Think of the scanner as a digital camera with some added lights. If you're truly desperate, you can make a color target made out...

If the If the scanner is factory-characterized . And the ink is known.

I don't know whether this is relevant, but Xrite's ColorPort and Babelcolor's Patchtool are two GUI programs which many color consultants used for years to create targets. I think both are free or abandonware these days. Patchtool in particular could read color out of targets, rearrange the...

Mount a device to your 3d printer head and you should have a chart reader ....

There is one thing I'd like to know: Can one one acquire data programmatically or does one have to press a button to make this thing work?

Ink sometimes gets dragged downwards by rollers; I now think randomizing is a good idea, although I prefer to look at targets by eye to assess the inking and there sequential ramps help. Edmund

Let's give it to him here: 🖨️ e.

The advantage of fairly small size targets of a few hundred patches is they are smooth, which is desirable for general photography. Paradoxically, I seem to remember large patch sets can lead to overfitting, and color that "break" so eg. you can see abrupt magenta/green change in a face...

W Fisher Thank you for your very informative post. I seem to have an LLK leak, not an MK/PK valve issue The obvious thing with the valve issue if you have it would be to simply disassemble partially and lock it physically in one position … Edmund

Hi, - I switched my 3880 on after 10 years inactivity and it leaked black ink over the paper. - Then the leak stopped, but bad nozzle checks. - I tried to print some tests, and the printer switched from MK to PK, but no leaks. - After a few days, all the nozzles came back except sporadic pieces...

In another life I was a color consultant. Now I am just a poor amateur photographer whose only working printer is an HP laser :) Actually I am just getting back into photo-related stuff again, and this seems to be one of the most knowledgeable communities when it comes to printing. I hope to...

Hi, I got a Canon G650 to make glossy prints. It made wonderful glossy prints with Kodak paper, but it kept making blurred vertical black streaks/fuzzy shaded zones all down the page.. The shop had one look at the prints and took it back; I'm wondering if this was a generic issue or if I can...
