    Cleaning cartridge

    Cleaning cartridge

    Yesterday, I had to clean my print head because it was clogged with dried ink. I had to make it soak in isopropyl alcohol and use a seringe with a special tip to unclog it. It makes a mess by doing this, so I wanted to use a cleaner method. As I have spare empty cartridges, I wanted to do so.

    How to get neutral B&W with Colormunki + ArgyllCMS

    The Hat: It's 4 times bigger because I scanned it in 800 dpi (to see every details)... My chart isn't as green as what you see... My scanner has changed a little bit my chart. But to be fair, it looks like it's not totally neutral... But it's subjective. I think it's because of the artificial...

    Okay, I've understood... You used the -L parameter in printargs to remove the white space, and now I only have 4 sheets. I think you used the -B parameter in chartread?
