Sometimes we take all this information far to seriously, and just sometimes it should be thrown in the garbage and not the hopper. Consider the following point which you will rarely see discussed by the colormetric men of science, and incidently by my reckoning I fall in that category: :( ICC...

Thought some members may find the linked software useful. It is a script that runs in CS6 and later to place a user defined matt and frame around an image. For most photographers there are multiple uses for something like this. Have uploaded a couple of before and after samples to show the...

h Do you have any facts to sustantiate this point of view. I am not disagreeing with you, just saying an opinion is not a fact. My observation, and again merely an opinion, is that printing generally is declining amongst the amateur photographic community. The club I belong to runs some 10...

Thanks - got it! rs

Thanks Joe, Somehow I had missed that video with increased details. Possibly I damaged the assembly when piercing the poppet. 7 of the 9 carts seem to work fine so probably will call the two problem carts collateral damage. Quick question - Does the blunt needle only make one piercing, or do...

Absolutely agree 100% - to each his own "Perfection is the enemy of excellence" - an old maxim that I find particularly applicable to colour management and when and trying to make great looking prints. rs

Thanks for ther clarification Joe. Could you give a link to a detailed description of the exact procedure. I think I need to review my technique? I too am refilling original T58 carts with several sets of complete refills under my belt and have experienced what martin O describes twice. Both...

Thanks Stratman. Invaluable information and just what I was looking for to purchase a custom profile. For those who are interested in wide gamut monitors and their calibration, I have been following the site below for a couple of years and learned a lot from it. It is also right up to date. I...

I may have inadvertantly given the wrong impression. The amswer to you question is an unqualified yes if your base for comparison is compared to other budget solutions. However it is an entry level unit and produced at budget prices. It measures 50+50 patches which is percieved as a...

If you are 100% certain that the profile is a bit dark, and it is not your setup or printing that is causing the problem, then you need to discuss thus with the profile maker as he has not supplied what you paid for. Most reputable profile makers that I have researched are willing to work with...

The link below may be useful for anybody who wants to make large prints using a desktop A4 or lettersize printer. Very clear and simple explanation of how to use the free software. Enjoy if this is for you...

The advantage is that if you only have a few papers it is more economcal to buy profiles from a reputable profile maker rather than invest in the cost of the spectrophotometer plus the learning curve etc. Many of the reputable suppliers will interact with you and give some degree of technical...

Didn't realise you cooked crystal meths on the side! :) rs

Agreed, but very useful when flushing the carts to ensure that the sponges are dry before refilling. Because the carts hold a mere mosquito's pee of ink even a gram of excess water content prior to refilling can serieosly dilute the ink a few percentage points. Seriously trying to avoid any...

NO, but can suggest the next best thing. Link below is to a service that will provide reasonably priced custom profiles. If you only have a few papers to be profiled will be pretty economical. Plus you can interact with him. http://www.colourphil.co.uk/profiling.shtml Disclaimer - I have not...

it does cause movement - LUMINANCE. Neutral grey in the absnce of other factors, and if sufficiently dominant will tend to visually affect the luminance NOT the chroma (Colour values). At least based on my 50 year old theory. And please note we are talking VISUAL PERCEPTION. The measurement of...

There is a method to the madness if I correctly remember my colour science from college over 50 years ago. In broad concept the dominant or strongest colour will visually modify surrounding colours towards the COMPLIMENTARY of the dominant colour. Hence consider a pictures of yellow sand and a...

Mike, Are you trying to upset our EU friends who are probably subsidising this deal? :( Based on the assumption that eventually all Canon revenue is eventually consolidated into a single Japanese revenue account. rs

Right - But do remember our eyes are easity fooled by not only our brains, but light as well. The person who said "Seeing is believing" was one of the original con artists. I have posted the following link to an old TED talk on colour perception previously. It is worth repeating. Especially...

Ask him who he believes. His Dad, or his lying eyes?" ;)
