Yes you will have to press the button to measure, but so does the i1Studio/Colormunki too.

Yes you can use it for spot checks with spectra (see printscreen above), BUT AFAIK not possible for screen calibration, which the i1Studio can do.

I repeated the workflow again with Europrint Satin paper with Inktec Powerchrome K3 ink in my Epson P900 using this particular 300-patch ArgyllCMS I created a printer profile using the same target (a small one on 13x18 cm) for the i1Pro and one on A4 for the CR30 and this is the softproofing...

just leave those settings on standard settings (B2A detail and total ink limit: the last one is for CMYK profiles only and you are going to generate a RGB printer profile).

@x64, @micronica, @crenedecotret : please add extra information to this topic in order to improve this rudimentary how-to manual if I have forgotten something or made a mistake.

To pick up the first post I will now show you how to use the CR30 dispensary. Thanks to @crenedecotret efforts to make a special randomizing ti1/pxf-file generator I managed to make a new 300 patch target for the CR30 which is finally randomized (in order to get a sharp in color/hue between...

Well actually my first impression is that the 300 patch ArgyllCMS/CR30-target (a single sheet of A4) is comparable to the X-Rite i1Studio 50 + 2x50 BW neutralising method (the version you are using the second patch series grey/near neutral steps to neutralise BW printing in color images). I am...

To answer your questions: yes the device is very good as well as the generated profiles. It has been crossed checked by another member at dpreview comparing it with his i1Pro1 device. I have the i1Pro1 and i1Pro2 to compare the generated profiles using the same patch set (ArgyllCMS) and it does...

Having some time now I write simple manual how to generate a simple RGB printer profile using ArgyllCMS and the very affordable CR30 colorimeter that has been proven to be very reliable and accurate by multiple users on this forum and as well by some at dpreview.com. As the necessary program...

I have made a new A4 target with pseudo-scrambled patches for the CR30 with 300 patches and 21 grey steps. I will upload it later with a rudimentary how-to manual if I have some time, because it is rather busy at work now.

you will need to force about 5-6 cleaning cycles in order to push out the old ink and prime the tubing and dampers with the new ink. Best to do it in a row, otherwise the diffusion speed can mix the old with the new ink, giving a annoying gradient in printing between old en new ink.

Maybe I should give it try to use the sRGB color space as the target space when generating my profiles and see what happens in the perceptual intent when printing

softproofing with the sRGB vs AdobeRGB based profiles using the relative colorimetric intent (NO black point compensation): No difference using sRGB or AdobeRGB as target color space using the colprof.exe to generate both profiles.

I get this with my makeprofile.bat (using adobeRGB as the reference color space for colprof.exe): No difference in volume size and white point. Did you compare the other profiles with another using iccview.de ? I just tried my profile against your "better" profile using sRGB as the reference...

Could you upload the ti3 file so I can have a look at it and regenerate the profile again ?
