Sort of curious as one printer I use says "It is no better than sRGB and why they only take image files in sRGB and not Adobe 1998 or ProPhoto as they are a waste and lose some colors." I thought the 3880 was a full Adobe 1998 RGB printer (or maybe it was the monitor?), but seems ColorThink Pro...

Thanks Roger! Never tried Innova and I see it is readily available in the States from my supplier. Just ordered a pack of 13x19 25 sheets to try out. W.F.

I'm sort bored with the luster and canvas for portraits and need something new. Matte is too dull. Glossy is, well, too glossy. Something with a bit of skin-like texture or a bit of tooth perhaps? Any recommendations of maybe something new or different out there to try out in portrait land...

Walker, when will this magic elixir be available for sale? I suspect most who refill or are into the Piezo stuff already have a means to calibrate their gear. W.F.

You're lost? Where do you think I am? ;o) Sort of odd that I also got a yellow/green skin image print back from a pro lab too. I know they use a CMYK printer for aluminum metal plate (dye-sub) prints so might be something there. Now I wonder if my notebook's screen calibration software or...

ISF, I got this late last night and was thinking about it - and most of the night too! The paper and printer profile was made with the Colormunki Photo or possibly the i1 PhotoPro 2 setup. I almost always use Qimage Ultimate for the print as I like its control and memory of settings. That...

Calibrated screen, printer, etc. done with i1 PhotoPro2 hardware and software on HP Advanced Glossy paper with Epson 3880. Even tried with Basiccolor software (dropRGB, Catch 5, etc.) but yet my prints still have a sickly green/cyan tint in the skin tone. Landscapes are fine, but skin color is...

Yeah, sort of disturbing to see one Epson profile show 604,387 colors available, and the next profile for a different surface paper of theirs also shows 604,387 colors available too and same manufactured time stamp. Fishy? Mine was with the Pictorico Gloss White Film where it went off the...

I went to some printer's school and found the Epson profiles for their glossier surfaces all had the exact same gamut profile in ColorThink. All of them overlapped identical. Even the same date stamps on each and total colors present. Only thing that differed were the paper surface...

Fwiw, I was just looking at the GamutVision website and found it is now FREE since it is no longer being supported. ColorThink Pro 3 is $399. GamutVision may show a bit more detail inside the gamut than ColorThink, but I don't know. My rough look at GamutVision version 1.3.7 shows it for PC...

Interesting reading in the link about the trees. I don't know if Colorthink has GamutVision's ability to read a profile as it does 'spatially,' but haven't found it yet. I'm still fairly new to it. Fwiw, I am making some profiles now with basICColor's dropRGB and their Display software as...

Yes, this was with Cone's inks. Both of Bill's Ball were same ink, paper, printer, output via Qimage Ultimate (Not a fan of printing from Adobe PS/LR since QU shows me the profiles and sets the Epson driver up correctly based from prior profile's memory.), etc. Just the profiles are Mine...

hmmm... Turns out you're right! The manufacturer's was worse than the one I made. Go figger!?! o_O Still seems odd the ColorThink Pro 3 shows a bigger gamut with the Factory profile above, but doesn't work out that way on paper with the home-brew one. Puzzling. Anyway, here's the image of...

I don't know what's going on with my i1 PhotoPro 2 profiling using x-rite's i1 Profiler software, but my profiles bite the dust against the manufacturers. Mine seem to be much smaller in overall gamut coverage. 3rd party ink (Cone)? Initial ink loading or density before profiling...

Thanks, but it's been several days and I'm aware of the time zone issue. Good to know about their upcoming holiday though, but I'm not holding my breath on them. At least x-rite responds within a few days. They even repaired my really old (2-3 years) Colormunki Photo for free when it wouldn't...

I got a question if you are using the basICColor's "dropRGB" to make a paper profile. Not having any luck getting any response at all from Germany's support team. W. Fisher

Do you know if the Surecolor HDR ink can be sucked out and reloaded into the 3880 refillable carts? No damage to the head? I'm guessing it is just their HDR PK Black, or maybe the lesser blacks too? Tia. W.F.

I resurrected an old Canon 9000 Mark II that was plugged and sitting idle for some months. It had OCP dye ink in it from Rjettek.com I think. Anyways, it showed some plugs so I let it sit with some head cleaner on the ink cart ports overnight, installed the OCP carts, and ran a few cleaning...

ColorThink 3 shows a bit more darker blues, greens, and brighter reds with a +20% more ink loading. However, the Dmax of the PK black is now reversing and rising from 8.0 to 8.25 so it may be past its peak. Guess maybe 15% is the max for this paper. Too bad there isn't a better and faster...

Funny neither profiling software mentions anything about setting up an "ink load" prior to making a profile. I always wondered about the little triangles within the small squares in i1 Profiler not matching and blamed it on the gamut and not the initial ink load. Seems they should address that...
