    Paper / Printer profiling with ArgyllCms and EFI ES 1000 for a newbie

    too much ink is possible, but i don't know how to tell the printer to use less ink wrong side, i don't think so, if i put the sheet under a light, the printed side is brillant and shine while the other side is not so brillant and muted white thanks for the link i will read it later

    Paper / Printer profiling with ArgyllCms and EFI ES 1000 for a newbie

    ok don't worry to much about it, the question was, why if i print an A4 tiff file it is bigger than A4 sheet ? If i print Borderless (to have the full size of the A4) the first row is thin versus all the others, i suspect that the Argyllcms notes on the side of the chart is enlarging the...

    finally i succeded to scan a patterns chart, but it was with only 324 patches but enlarged at 1.3 ratio I had to understand how slow i would be to make the scan in the right way else "strip read failed". Without a perfect ruler i will not be able to scan reduced patches easily. I will do more...

    Paper / Printer profiling with ArgyllCms and EFI ES 1000 for a newbie

Anyway i don't have the board so i have to build...

    Paper / Printer profiling with ArgyllCms and EFI ES 1000 for a newbie

    But do you think i have to read in this way for sure, or i can rotate the EFI ES 1000 to read in the other way like the ColorMunky ?
