Having read this article:
https://blackfiveimaging.co.uk/index.php?article=04Miscellaneous/02Random+Thoughts/Creating+a+Custom+Profiling+Target
I tried to create a scanner profile using a 400 patch target with ArgyllCMS.
In the package there are several files including a scanner.cht file, that describes the patch layout of the targets.
Both the scanner-scanner.tif and the scanner_Colormunki.tif (using a Colormunki or i1Studio device)/scanner_i1Pro2.tif (using a i1Pro device) must be printed on the same paper type and the same media setting and dried properly before proceding.
The procedure is to print both the scanner-scanner.tif file which is to be scanned with your scanner without color management and the corresponding file to be saved as tif file: for this example we will call it:
scanner-result.tif
The scanner_colormunki.tif or scanner_i1pro2.tif file is to scanned using a Colormunki or i1Pro2 spectro and saved by using the following command:
chartread -v -H -T0.4 scanner-ref
there will be a scanner-ref.ti3 in your working directory
The original procedure requires a reorder of the data by manipulating the scrambled data for the printer profile in order with the scanner.cht file using a spreadsheet, but I have use the -r argument in the targen command with some customized paper size until the layout of both the scanner as well as the print target is in line with another and similar in patch layout and order, so no need for the extra manipulation:
Now we are going to convert the results in the scanner-ref.ti3 (scanned with Colormunki or i1Pro) into a csv-file:
spec2cie -n scanner-ref.ti3 scanner-ref.csv
I tried to create a scanner profile for my Epson WF-7840 printer, unfortunately I got stuck with this error message when I tried to link the scanned target (WF-7840) with the results I have read from my i1Pro2 using the following command:
scanin scanner-result.tif scanner.cht scanner-ref.csv
What I am doing wrong that I get the above error that only 37 sets, despite the 400 patches ???
