    ArgyllCMS printer profile GUI is on it's way

    A free version similar to i1Profiler interface for ArgyllCMS would be nice.

    Print layout engine for Linux. Fully ICC aware

    Can this software also print with color management disabled for print targets ? Problem is the right linux Epson/Canon driver that can handle media types and resolution, unlike Windows/Mac drivers.

    My (bad) experience with refilling PG-560 and CL-561 cartridges

    PGI-560/CLI-561 are cartridges with integrated printhead and those are known to be very difficult to be refilled properly. The problem with bad ink flow is caused by a bubble/bubbles of air above the nozzles that prevent the ink to flow well...this causes bad ink flow and like you have said: the...

    i1Profiler miniature + small RGB printer targets: 10x15 cm, 13x18 cm, A5

    A small update: I have made targets not only for 10x15 cm, but now also for 13x18 cm (using 3 sheets) and a A4 version. In the 13x18 cm targets you can clearly see (because of the patch distribution) the 64 grey steps included in this i1Profiler target that otherwise is not possible using the...

    Hi there!

    Hi Thilo, Actually the aftermarket chips from aliexpress can be easily reset with your cartridge chip resetter despite it says one time chip only. The one you have is already possible to reset not only original but also aftermarket chips. Refillable cartridges without chip can be easily found...

    Hi there!

    I suggest to keep those empty cartridges that are included with that occassion, because those chips are needed for the refillable cartridges OR if you are going to use colour ink I suggest to modify those cartridges and refill them and reset using your existing resetter. That would save you...

    First time creating a profile with Argyll CMS - some questions

    The warning can be safely ignored. That happens from time to time, but I suggest to reread the target again, but this time more slowly. the DeltaE errors are more of an concern to have a proper look at.

    Using ArgyllCMS + Colormunki to produce excellent printer profiles

    I tried to have a look at the program, but I think some settings are based on the directory structure of MacOS (Unix): See the yellow warning exclamation symbols on the top. I tried the i1Pro method and the 960 patch version, but I think the layout is too elongated having no white gap at the...

    Not sure but I think PrintPrism might work on some un-supported scanners too

    I printed an evaluation target using both profiles and scanned both print outs with my calibrated scanner (ET-8550): Which on is printed with the profile created with the unsupported WF-7840 and which one with the supported ET-8550 profile ?

    Not sure but I think PrintPrism might work on some un-supported scanners too

    OK here is the second test using a different paper/ink/printer combination: Action Glossy (cast paper) on the ET-8550 dye ink printer: First on the dedicated and supported ET-8550 scanner: Here is the version on the unsupported WF-7840 scanner: Note the above bump on the right side of...

    Not sure but I think PrintPrism might work on some un-supported scanners too

    I have printed the target on a cheap cast paper of Action with the ET-8550, which should give a different 3D plot. I will redo the test this evening and see if the profile is similar using both the ET-8550 (supported) and the WF-7840 (non-supported) scanners.

    Not sure but I think PrintPrism might work on some un-supported scanners too

    Redoing the test with an earlier printed target on another paper type: First on the ET-8550 scanner: Secondly on the WF-7840 scanner: Here is the iccview.de 3D plot: Using both profiles in softproofing mode beneath: left original picture, upper right: softproofed with the ET-8550...

    Not sure but I think PrintPrism might work on some un-supported scanners too

    I have to test this, but my first impression that by chance I tried to make a profile with PrintPrism with my unsupported Epson WF-7840 AIO scanner using the built-in ET-8550 scanning engine: The scan histogram seems to be very healthy and this is the 3D plot in iccview.de with the same...

    Printprism: I have bought it to test its capabilities and quality of the rgb profiles

    That is strange: I tried to use my Epson WF-7840 scanner if it would give a good profile (officially not supported) and to my astonishment the profiles are almost the same: I tried the WF-7840 printer as scanner and using the ET-8550 scanning engine in PrintPrism: Beneath softproofing with a...
