Hello to all here. I was able to pick up an i1 Pro 3 for a hard-to-resist price and was excited to try it out with itsab1989's nifty ArgyllCMS GUI. But for the life of me I can't get a profile without huge Delta E errors. Rows are verified in the scan (with several retries, because it's tricky to get the i1 to land cleanly on the paper white). I've turned off bidirectional scanning, turned it back on, and increased the patch consistency tolerance, all with the same results-- most if not all of the rows are way off, in the double digits. I had a similar issue with my Colormunki, which turned out to be because I didn't realize that ChromIQ defaulted to one-way strip reading with that device, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. Targets used were the i1ProTC9.18+Spyderprint Grays and i1Pro TC9.18+Extended Grays presets, both in letter size.

I ran i1Diagnostics on the i1 and everything passed.

ChromIQ log attached for anyone who might be willing to throw a life jacket to a drowning man.
