If you want to use ArgyllCMS. I have produced a very easy to read 480 patch target that produces superior targets compared to even the 50 + 2 x 50 patch method of ccStudio. I am using an aftermarket ink that does not produce the right hue of celestial blues with the standard ccStudio/Colormunki...

Hi Lothar, you should indeed scan slower and move the Colormunki with a much slower pace when scanning these patches. The reason is that the Colormunki takes 50 samples per second: moving too fast and it cannot pick up enough information of each miniature patch. I move with a speed of about 2-3...

I think Stormlight means the rebranded X-rite device (EFI ES-2000): Don't worry I bought it for a fraction of the price and it was almost brand new (backup from a photographer.

Probably not many people with i1Pro2 spectro's, but I want to share some target sets for ArgyllCMS with you optimized for i1Pro2 reading board/guiders.

After my recently purchased i1 Pro 2 device, I made this 648 patch target to be printed on a single sheet of A4 (210x297 mm). Optimized to be used with the dedicated ruler/jigg of the I1 Pro 2 device. The modified target has a clear black marker line with a white area on the paper surface to...

In my dreams :lol:

It was absolutely a bargain: an almost never used (was a backup for a photo studio), including the reading panel/jigg for making printer profiles. Unfortunately no license to do printer profile, but happily using Argyl lCMS.

Even the Epson 1500W photo printer using dye ink and which can fire droplets as small as 1.5 pl can handle pigment ink. The ET-2650 fires with much larger droplets so my educated guess it will even work better.

It can be perfectly done: Epson printers can -due to the piezo print heads- handle almost any type of ink: dye, pigment, sublimation. Be sure to remove as much as possible of the dye ink from the tank reservoirs as possible and prime the print head first (there is still dye ink in the tubing up...

Actually it is done in your printer driver: choose multipe pages on 1 sheet: 4 in 1 and choose accordingly your best orientation and here you go. Note: you will have to make a customized ruler to guide your Colormunki over these miniature patches in order not to scratch and damage the...

The most consistent way is using wired ethernet. No Wi-Fi or USB.

I was able to obtain to buy 2 second hand Colormunki/Calibrite devices for only €80 and €100.... My first device is sometimes having difficulty to find its position due to the fading position sensor strip, but still going strong.

It is the same cartridge also used in the Pro 3800 and Pro 3880. Use diapers or kitchen paper towels to aborb the ink. You can use the resetter to reset the chip.

20Y and 80M is slightly better. Note it is an approximation, because the real red is a bit intenser not obtained by mixing Y and M in the exact right way, but nevertheless after a custom profile I hardly see any difference at all in real world pictures.

It is true red, but mixing Epson 106 and Y+M is a good alternative: I hardly see any difference after profiling

Hi Martin0reg, Many years ago I bought some DL ink from you and I am still using it in my Epson XP-15000 printer. I see you use an R285 using CcMmYK configuration. You can dilute these DL inks to make LM and LC (30% C/M + 70% clear ink base) using my clear ink formule (works very well in piezo...

Hello, you can it use it safely, BUT when you buy the printer fill the system with the pigment ink immediately and keep the dye ink bottles sealed. This way you won't mix the dye inks with pigment ink but start immediately with the pigment inks and the printhead is primed with your pigment ink...

I have found the cause of my problem: The profile I made was done with the print setting: Epson Premium Glossy, print quality: quality (setting 4: superfine 1440 dpi) and off course color management: off, but I discovered the latest Qimage enables extra settings like always set driver print...

I downloaded Qimage Ultimate to test its new features and see if it is interested enough to update from my very old version (2008), but I was surprised I could not get it handle my home-brewed printer profiles well. Somehow the grey images tends to turn sepia withing the same file, while the...
