Recently I have bought a Canon TS701 printer to print on printable PVC ID-card, being unable to find a dedicated Epson ET-8550/P900 PVC-ID card tray (strangely enough the ET-18100 has one included). I also bought some Action (a Dutch discount shop that has multiple shops across Europe) Canon...

In the past years I have made several target sets for the X-Rite i1Pro2 device using ArgyllCMS to create printer profiles. I want to share them with all those who have bought an i1Pro2 without an working RGB printer profiling license. All target sets are in ZIP-format containing *.ti1, *.ti2...

Thanks to The Hat who provided my this special 3D printed scanning jig for the Colormunki/i1Studio Photo I could do an interesting experience by using a special ArgyllCMS target that I have modified to be compatible with both the Colormunki/i1Studio 3D printed scanning jig and the i1Pro2...

I want to print a scanning jig for my Colormunki and asking if somebody preferably in Belgium or the EU-region willing to print and send it to me. Many thanks.

Despite the good smooth surface that can cope the ink load the poster board was a few mm too thick to be accepted by my Epson SC-P900 and unfortunately causing head strikes (despite setting it to maximum platen gap): Otherwise I could produce nice canvas photo boards that could be directly...

For those interested here is a patch set for profiling printable PVC ID cards that can be printed on by several printers (Canon, Epson) using a special PVC ID card tray. In most cases the standard setting will give a strong colour cast and with this target set (be be printed on the front and...

This morning I try to start my second Epson SC-P900 (second hand) and suddenly it gave an error 031006 and an a terrible burnt smell is coming from the printer. I am afraid this printer is for the waste bin. I have searched and it could be the mainboard fused or connectors or both. To...

Recently I bought an Canon TS705 printer, because I could not find a suitable ID Card tray for my Epson SC P900 printer (despite it supports printing on CD/DVD discs). Unfortunately the standard setting by the Canon printer was suboptimal: colours are washed out and greys have a brownish look...

For only €1.99 I bought this cheap textured and thick aqurelle paper from Action (a discount shop all around Europe). It has a nice grain texture and a weight of 300 gsm, so very thick but can be easily printed in my Epson SC-P900 with very good results.....That is: I had to increase ink usage...

Last week I finally received my Epson SC-P900 refillable cartridges from aliexpress.com. In the previous week I already received my bottles of Inktec Powerchrome from Ebay (printout24.de), but I had to wait until I received te cartridges. I ordered extra LLK and VLM, because these colours are...

I am thinking to try some Epson SC-P900 aftermarket chips that can used as an alternative to original Epson chips. The only thing is that most items are specified to be one time chip..... That is a bit confusing, because I had once bought refillable cartridges with one time chips for my Epson...

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...

Recently due to some strange guy revering continously to Kevin's site: bchtechnolgies.com I have found some blatant plagiarism of my work: https://bchtechnologies.com/blog/optimizing-printer-profiles-colormunki-native-software-vs-argyllcms/ original post by me...

Today I took some time to took some pictures of my method to create a pretty good printer profile with ArgyllCMS. ArgyllCMS is a free to use program with a myriad of possibilities on pair with commercial available software packages in terms of quality of output. Unfortunately the cryptic...

Today I had the time to refill a set of refillable auto reset cartridges with original Epson Claria HD ink extracted from ecotank ink from bottled 106 (CMYK) and 114 (G). These inks are proven to be very fade resistance. To obtain the light versions the CMG inks are diluted with my Clear Ink...

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...

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.

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...

Today I used Calibrite CCStudio to make a profile (BW optimized method using the 1 + 2 target procedure), between my older Colormunki Photo and my newly purchased second hand Colormunki Photo (Thanks to @palombian ). Printer: Epson SC-P800 paper: Netbit Glossy 300 gsm (Aldi Belgium) inkset...

How to solve this problem ? Firstly I thought it was caused by my home-brewed gray ink, but after exchanged the cartridge with original Epson gray ink, the problem still exists. I already tried the soaking method with a piece of paper towel folded and moisturized with my solution, but with no...
