I tried to find the "testprofile v2.csv" in the profile_config.ini but could not find it to remove the wrong file name. I will give it a try tomorrow. Meanwhile you might want to have a look at my files above and see if you can generate the profile and compare it to the one generated with the i1Pro1. The 3D model should be different and larger than the previous one (which was made with pigment ink and on matte paper, so a significantly smaller gamut than this new one on glossy cast paper). You might upload your results already so I can have a look at tomorrow.

That's the thing, "testprofile v2.csv" is hardcoded in "cr30_to_ti3.py" and is only used when running cr30_to_ti3.py directly without adding --csv, --ti1, and --out arguments (what you did), but when running build_profile.py the config gets used instead. I patched that in version 0.1.1 to avoid confusion.

I was able to generate profiles using those files. While doing so I noticed some other improvements (e.g. using the ti2 instead of the ti1, reading the header more dynamically) that will make the script more robust when inputs change. I'll work on it a bit more, expect another version later today. Your exact workflow already works with version 0.1.0 and should be able to produce accurate ti3 files and forward them to colorprof to directly generate a profile, with a correct config and running either:
python3 src\build_profile.py
python src\build_profile.py
or when you use python launcher:
py -3 src\build_profile.py

OK many thanks for the update. I am now at work. Could you already upload the profile that is generated from the CR30 scanned csv file, so I can have a look at in iccview.de. It would be better to use the ti2 file, because sometimes reordering the patches (to scrambe patch layout) is better for scanning.

Here is the profile generated with the ti2 and CSV of the 228-target set you shared before. This is not the action glossy set because that one didn't include a ti2.

ok, I thought I did upload the ti2 file with the set. I will have a look at when I am at home this evening and also will have look at your latest CR30 ti3 dispensary later on to see if I can generate the profile using the ti2 file and my scanned CR30 csv file.
