German durchstich refill method

I can confirm even the so-called one-time chips can be perfectly reset with the resetter. There are no auto reset chips available: either use the original chips or one-time chips and use the resetter to reset the chip to full. The only thing is to be make sure your printer has NO firmware that...

Have a look at ebay...

I am using Windows 11 already a few years now, even with my previous Epson P800 and XP-15000 and not a single problem with both and my current P900 and ET-8550 printer. Not the slightest problem with color management at all compared to Windows 10 or 7

I also have an alternative 285 target that is based on the Spyderprint "Hight Quality target" with 225 patches that I enhanced with extra grey steps and near neutral (grey) ramps around the gray/near neutral area up to 285 patches that you can convert to a ti2 file for a target generation by me:

@crenedecotret : you might try to convert the vintage TC2.83 target which I enhanced with 2 extra patches to get 285 patches in total to convert it to a ti2 file. I manage to get a target with 285 patches (13 rows of 22 patches). This TC2.83 target was originally devised on the iMatch software...

If the printer has used OEM chips in the first place placing aftermarket chips should not be a problem. Only if the printer is completely new and someone has sold the original setup cartridges would be a problem: The link is broken because printerknowledge tends to remove the last characters...

This is the command I use to produce the virtual page before shrinking and compressing the final target into A4 format: printtarg -v -icm -A1.1 -T360 -M5 -P -p400x450 name_of_target. I also move the row of letters that label the rows so the letters are moved down on the border of two rows, so...

I have played with the page setting to force more patches per row and per page. Not sure, but I made a virtual page of around 400x450 mm and afterwards using photoshop to shrink down the whole page into 210x297 mm (A4 format), making sure the row width at 360 dpi resolution is 202 pixels.

Because not everybody has specially made scanning jigs/rulers for the Colormunki/i1Studio and the standard printarg command to generate Colormunki targets produces only 210 patches in the high density patch layout, a reasonable printer target, it needs at least 2 sheets of A4 to produce a...

You might have a check here on aliexpress.com...

Actually not: the ccStudio is just a window dressing version of the i1Studio software. It is still based on the 50 + 50 method for a colour profile and 50 + 2x50 for ABW-mode or colour profile with neutralising grey steps. I find the second method more accurate even for colour printing, BUT it...

Thanks for the update. Yes I have found the i1profiler giving much more consistent profiles than the Colormunki/i1Studio device with the 50 + 50 patch method that is a bit clumsy to use. I think it has to do with the method the profile is generating (software limitations) that gives the lesser...

May I ask what do you actually want: you seem to drag everything that is not is not the point of your problem ??? What has the 5090 to do with your printer (unless your screen is badly profiled). We know that updating firmware is not good for using aftermarket inks/cartridges and why mentioning...
