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

Yes, but only for the profile generating process, not for scanning. That is done with it's own proprietary program and only patch by patch.

Thanks. I will go with this target and make some prints afterwards.

@pharmacist

I made a profile with the recommended target set and printed some B&W test images. Visually and measured the prints are nearly dead neutral. For me, it's perfect!

sad to read this,

today i tried with windows 11, no good news, but i built an USB-A cable to use with my 100W power adapter to give enough power to the old USB-2.0 hub, when i linked the usb hub and tried the i1pro1 device all seem to work, after 3 minutes of attempts (to see if it was stable) it begins to give calibration errors (out of tolerance white from the plate) again.

So i have two i1pro1 that both seem broken.

the first i1pro1 has worked a total of 3 hours, the second i1pro1 has worked a total of 36m

so both would be like new, for this i don't understand, in the weekend i will try my usual i1pro1 on my old mac notebook where i used it in the past.

good morning @itsab1989

i have two questions,

- i have a profile generated with chromiq and read using the Argyll chartread inside chromiq (so i have the ti3 file inside the structure of chromiq profiles):
Is it possible for the chromiq engine showing the aspected/detected value/colors in the measure chart page for the ti3 without knowing which software created it ?

- (feauture request) if i load a project (in the create chart page) and then go to measure chart if it found that was previously measured (if ti3 file is present) it shows the aspected/detected values showing a box that tell that a calibration exists and will be shown the values/colors ?

or it works only using the chartread chromiq version ?

i suppose that the ti3 file contains the detected values for each patch

The instrument this morning seems wanting working, so i was reading the patch of the same paper Kyocera Laser printer (plain paper) i had read the last time using Argyll chartread, this one using chromiq chartread just to compare the results to try to understand if the device is reading properly.

After some rows reading it stopped to scan giving this error i will attach the screen and the logs of today tests

I tried to restart the calibration but i don't see the aspected/detected anymore

i'm continuing to scan the patch in this moment

 

[mavtop]

i finished the reading of patches, for @itsab1989 i didn't exit from the measure chart screen, never, but when the device gave the error i had to press stop and the software automatically switched to Argyll chartread removing all the old aspected/detected patch colors, i pressed stop again and then pressed continue and it started with chromiq chartread and the new reading appaired on the screen up to i finished the reading, but the old one seems lost.

I ask you is possible to ask a confirmation to use Argyll chartread, so if i choose no, the old values doesn't disappear from the screen ?

this is the screen of the last scanned patches

it seems that the printer has problems with green, dark blue, pink but maybe is normal i will try to build the profile and compare with the previolus one

this scanning with chromiq has better results versus the first scanning (but maybe i was less accurate in the scanning process)
