Script for Printer Calibration on MacOS and Linux (free to use and modify)

[knowing]

If anyone using the script has suggestions on how the menu for Colormunki or other instruments should be set up with good target choices, feel free to post it on the forum. Then others may have benefit from your experience and knowledge. See menu option 1.

Settings for Target choices for menu for "other instruments" (other than Colormunki) is incomplete, so good suggestions would be great to complete the menu.

Cheers,

Hi all,
Today I tried the Pre-made target:
"CM-Interm-A4-2070p-10pages-w13.0mm-14x15_Modified-Atkinson1728-randomized"

I go a lot of cases where colprof detects that I am reading some other row than I am actually reading. Since this target is generated from a ti1 file and randomized, I suspect that it is sub-optimal placement of patches that cause this (the number of strips does not help either). Does anyone know how to reduce this? I think this target has a lot of potential, so it is very annoying to get this message all the time.

If anyone wants to try this target, I suggest rerunning printtarg with the command I provided in the "Commands.txt" file, and if you have success with that version, that you please post the target images and ti2 file, so that I can update the one in my script. I probably won't try to read this large target again and again to test it, so help from the forum would be appreciated it any of you try it.

When I tried "CM-Interm-A4-1168p-5pages-w12.5mm-15x16_TC918+Spyderprint_grays-randomized" last week, there was almost no such issue. The current version was updated yesterday, so I have not tried that yet.

If we find a good ranomized combination, is the right way to do it to freeze the seed number for the chart?

Any feedback from using the script is also appreciated. Until now, only one person has found the script useful and given feedback on the forum.

Thank you.

Cheers,
K
