Using ArgyllCMS + Colormunki to produce excellent printer profiles

[knowing]

Hi,
See this post for an update on Argyll_Printer_Profiler/
https://www.printerknowledge.com/th...acos-free-to-use-and-modify.17313/post-147343.

Some of you may be interested in the Colormunki version of the TC9.18 target provided by @pharmacist, which I attached in the above post. I tested the A4 page random target version, which gave an excellent profile.

Cheers,
K

Hi All,
I would apreciate it if anyone could test the latest Argyll_Printer_Profiler script, as some people requested a compatible version for windows. The script is now ported to python and should fully support MacOS, Linux and Windows.

The pretext for making this script was that I could not find any good scripts compatible with macOS, and the existing .bat commands on the forum did not run through the whole process, and not for any target desired. Anyway, I hope someone with try it and give some feedback on the forum.

The main features for the script are:

• Run through the whole printer profile making process in few clicks: from target generation (tergen+printtarg), reading (charread), making profile (colprof) and outputing proifle report with extened statistics from that of profcheck.
• Configure a set of predefined targets, and select them from a menu (6 for Colormunki and 6 for other instruments) (editable from ini file)
• Configure all the defaults as you desire for later reuse (targen, printtarg, chartread, and colprof, with some limitations)
• Re-measure / resume measurements on a previously incomplete / saved / interupted measurement set
• Select any pre-existing target to measure and create profile.
• Perform the "sanity check" with extended statistics on any profile with existing ti3 file
• When creting a profile, a new folder is created with the name chosen for the profile, and needed files are copied and renamed automatically.
• Selecting of ti2/3 files and icc files are done through a file dialog, so that one does not have to write long path strings.

Cheers,
K
