[Tool] ChromIQ – a macOS and Windows GUI for ArgyllCMS printer profiling (v3.13.0-beta)

Is the converter USB 2.0 to USB-C converter of good quality ?

I'm suspecting the USB (8in1 converter) could have power problems, i found a lot of topics about calibration failed for USB laptop with no enough power, someone suggest to use an usb powered hub, maybe i have one of this in my office to try.

May I ask what you are doing to have a reason to own 2 of those devices? I mean this out of pure interest because I can’t even really justify owning a ColorMunki for what I do (well now with the coding stuff I can).

because the second one i bought was very cheap (30 euros) because the seller could't try it to know if it was working, so i bought like a thing to repair or to use to repair another

Well at this price it really is a no-brainer.

By the way since I recently added a beta section to the apps setting to have a spot for my colprof replacement (don’t activate it as its only purpose was building profiles for cmy+n devices - although the maximum accuracy flavor might be something to try for rgb printers as well) I figured that I could do the same thing for chartread. This will make it in a „stable“ release of ChromIQ (as stable as you would consider the whole app) but will be clearly labeled as beta. With it turned off everything remains the way it is now but turning it on should hopefully give some improvements. However this will need to be tested. I decided to do this because until tomorrow I still have access to the better Claude fable models which hopefully give better results for this.
I will be going to cinema with my daughter in a few minutes and I hope that when I come back there will be results.

Meanwhile you can have a look at this (in the end there should be an easy to understand explaination of what this implementation should offer) and maybe a beta is ready today:

it seems really interesting, if i fix my device i will try it if available, i like visually seeing what i read with the i1pro1

First beta looks horrible but after a little feedback it is getting better (still a little offset though):

Whow finally something similar to the X-Rite method: expected vs measured value.

It said that patches with high deltaE will get a red frame so they can be spotted right away. But I guess we have to wait for it to finish with the other fixes and release beta 2.

Very, very promising! That will really be very helpful in getting real time response while measuring the targets.

Let‘s wait how it turns out. Knut had a few requests and now that I am back home I could check the progress myself every now and then and ask for corrections immediately along the way. So I really hope thing will be mich better in beta but every request sets the release back a little bit.
And still things might not be perfect right away. This requires some testing and feedback.
I hope to get beta 2 out in the next hour though.

Edit:
While it was still doing refinements I did a quick test with my ColorMunki. It was recognized and went into calibration and measurement process as usual and I could select a strip by clicking on it. The overlay still looked a little weird here but I asked for a refinement already (the frame should only be around the patches and not extend to the white are). Maybe someone has a better idea though.

I just did a first test run measuring a target with 506 patches with the i1pro and it worked like a charm. The resulting profile is excellent (max deltaE around 1). In Datacolors Spyderprint is an similar functionality, but the response is not in realtime. Only after measuring all patches one get an overview how good the readings were. Your solution is way better.
