Yesterday I installed my Epson SC-P900 cartridges that is supplied with an extra waste ink tank inside the large box.... I now understand why: Above the weight of the new and unused waste ink tank: about 100 grammes But after the long priming and purging the tubing system and print head...

Would the Canon TM-240 an alternative ? the CISS cartridges seem to be refillable (ink levels should be disabled) and has photo black too (+ matte black). I am thinking about an A1 with rotary cutter that is able to cut canvas rolls too (so the cutter must be strong enough to deal with this type...

Yes I did have that off set too: towards blue. To really correct his you will need the OBC (Optical Brightness Compensation) profiling setting in iProfiler (you will need that special test chart with grey/black patches), but I am not sure because I do not have that special test target.

What about the Canon TM-240 24 inch printer using 5 colours: it has both MBK and PK pigment ink included ? Would that be a suitable alternative to your ecotank printer. It has cartridges, but they seem to be very easily refilled. One could buy a set of refillable cartridges and transfer the chip...

Try to clean the gold contacts of the chip sensor inside the printer with a long Q-tip drenched in pure isopropanol and also the chips of your cartridges. Have a look with a torch if the contacts are levelled and not indentated.

For those who have downloaded my target set: I just discovered the tif-target is the older version I made previously and I made a correction of the tif-target in order to have an optimized scanning experience, because the older version it used to align towards the right border of the scanning...

You can regenerate the target again: printtarg -v -ii1 -n -a0.8 -T360 -P -pA4 875-target this produces patch layout for i1Pro (-ii1) with a smaller (80%) of the normal patch size at 360 dpi with 16-bit TIFF format (-T360), without spacers (-n) on A4 paper size (-pA4) from the 875-target.ti1...

Today I made a profile with the lower 480-patch target and see if there is any visible difference compared to the higher cound 875-target. The result might surprise you: to my eyes the difference is not visible. Above the 875 patch target and below the specially made 480 low patch target Here...

Both newer profiles are ok to my eyes and don't have any visible errors in both iccview.de and softproofing in PS (relative colorimetric and NO black point compensaton). You are doing more than well. :thumbsup

I suggest to scan quite slowly: start with pressing the button and wait for about 2 seconds before moving the i1Pro2 to the other side of the row in about 4 seconds time and when you reach the other side, hold the button another 2 seconds before releasing it. It take some exercise to move the...

Good to know. I can optimize my 480 patch target in such a way that more samples are taken from the same colour patch when strip reading. My 480 patch target already can produce very good profiles and good neutral BW-prints. This way the reflection problem maybe averaged more when the scanning...

Would it possible to put a polarizing filter into the i1Pro2. I know you can disassemble the scanning eye and there is glass filter inside the scanner.

Do you store your photo cartridges in a air tight box (type tupperware or similar) to prevent drying ? There are special sealing clips available at aliexpress.com that can be used to seal the nozzles of your photo cartridges. You mean with photo cartridge the special photo cartridge with photo...

softproofing (choose relative colormetric and NO black point compensation) is essential to see of the profile data is scanned properly. Scanning errors will be visible in unexpected color changes in color and b&w gradients. I sometimes see unexpected stripes in a color gradient from white to...

The profiles look normal to me and as expected a deeper black for the semigloss paper than the semimatte paper, which makes sense to me. There is only a strange identation at the purple side: it looks either the printer can print more than better purples or it cannot print the magenta as good as...

Hello, did already tried to make a profile with ArgyllCMS with your ES-2000? It should be superior to your Spyder3print.

I contacted both godaddy.com and BCH technologies.....Somehow I have the feeling most of these blog posts are AI generated topics, but the striking resemblance with my posts, it must be fed with data from the posts I have written here a time ago.

Hello, not really. If you want really good profiles a preconditioning profile would be better, BUT: my method is good compromise to obtain optimal BW prints without the need of a preconditioning profile. Also if you want to make a profile for somebody else, it is not really convenient to have...

Did you try the manual version in a DOS mode: put your *.ti1, *.ti2, adobeRGB1998.icc files in the same directory and type the command: chartread -v -H -T0.4 "name of your *.ti1 file" ? In my case it would be: chartread -v -H -T0.4 875-target Otherwise have a look at my ArgyllCM easy how to pdf...
