@pkk can you give me your ti1 file you uses for your 468 patch target so I check whether it is a configuration error or reading problems ?
Yep. Attached.

I just generated the test profile using your 468 patch ti1 file and this is the softproofing:

Seems to be perfectly ok to me: conclusion it is caused by reading errors.

This is the profile in iccview.de:

perfectly rounded profile without strange indentations like the previous one.

OK, just finished the large new designed 1944 patch target using the latest patch generator algorithm to get a better TC9.18 target.

The new workflow files for ChromIQ/ArgyllCMS is optimized for the i1Pro scanning table: just insert the sheet completely onder the paper clamp towards the right border of the table (fully inserted) and have ergonomical scanning experience.

This is the softproofing to test if the workflow is functioning/correct or not:

Seems to be perfectly OK, so I will send the workflow files to @itsab1989 to be integrated in ChromIQ

Done. Expect the new release in a few minutes. Thanks a lot!
While adding the presets I found a little gap. Although the charts are visibly randomized they did not get the correct tag so that chartread would recognize them as such (affects the bi-directional reading). I corrected this so they are now tagged correctly and should read bidirectional with Argylls / chartreads default settings.
We seemingly also found the cause of the missing tag and fixed it. So for the future this should hopefully be no issue anymore.

@pharmacist

To be sure the preset works as expected could you load the new preset in the updated app and re-measure your already printed chart? That way we can that the tag that was added afterwards does not cause any issues.
