It irritated me, so I fixed it. ;) As part of the fix, I set it to export separate RelCol and Perceptual ICCs for an input CSV.

It was a really good guess, it's exactly what's happening; I just eyeballed it and came back here to report exactly what you said. I've been sick the last week, and I'm not sure I have the energy to fix this yet. That being said, it'll irritate me until I do fix it. Thanks for that nudge.

We’re not trying to make conjecture, I’m asking if your AWK identified a change in behavior over a certain amount of lines that I should be expecting when dealing with CSV, since you suspect I ran into CSV > TI3 issues as opposed to issues with colprof, which likely would have given an error...

Maybe? Is converting 200, 300, and 450 patches different than 800 in some way I should look for? Fortunately, it keeps the temp folder until it successfully finishes Colprof, and the process sticks on Colprof. My guess was Start-Process, Start-Thread, Start-Job—the CSV to TI3 is relatively...

Since I had made a lot of improvements in my pipeline before finding out that the PS script was going to bail on me, I back-ported a little convenience to the batch script: * Set the path to your Targets and Dependencies folders instead of the specific files * The batch script can detect comma...

I just started scanning 800 patches, and the PowerShell GUI isn't working for them--it may be introducing additional complexities to the execution of colprof.exe or limiting the memory/processor capabilities in a way that's preventing it from finishing, so I'm going to call it a failure. The...

Oh, couple of other things, if you uncheck the box that says "only use presets" next to Paper Type, it'll show you the machine-level paper types associated with the printer, but they're VERY rudimentary, and probably not very useful. The neat part is it'll let you select your actual installed...

I turned the whole process into a PowerShell forms gui. There's a bat launcher that detects PS5 and PS7 (PowerShell Core), and launches the correct way, including bypassing Microsoft's ever stricter execution policies. You can make it run just like a normal looking app by: 1. putting the PS1...

I've made a few changes. You still set the defaults for the files, including the default ti2, but if you keep multiple targets in one folder, it'll read out a list to pick from. This will be useful for running a second pass against a target generated from a previous ICC profile. I've also done...

I found something of that sort out from Epson, because I was using the US drivers, and there was no “Epson Matte” option. Turned out all matte is the same, according to Epson support. It’s really just metadata/filename text anyway, and we can certainly streamline it. UGH, UGB, MH, and VFA...

I made a bat file to process a dropped CSV file into an ICC profile. Make sure you edit the first few lines of the bat to indicate where gawk.exe, genti3.awk (or genti3semic.awk), your target's ti2 file, and you can add your printer brand and model. It'll copy the the ti2 and csv file so the...

I did make myself a guide, I just felt like I was getting slight blends too often, so I went to 10mm `-a1.25` for the sake of increasing accuracy at the expense of limiting myself to 450 patches per letter-sized page. I also, with the guide design, wanted a lot of hand rest area to help keep...

I've been around a little bit, but only created an account about a week ago during a staycation over Thanksgiving. I used to do some pre-press intern work in the QuarkXPress days, mostly reconstructing magazines locally for local printing while I was in art school in Flint, Michigan. Since...

Long time listener, first time caller. I tweaked the batch files in Epatcola's AWK scripts to generate 10mm patches using -a1.25 and set it to create 25 patch columns on letter-sized paper. Made it WAY easier to scan patches for me after trying repeatedly with 8mm patches. I was able to fit 450...
