I’ve just printed the 129 step wedge using my process and want to try scanning it now.
Is it best to use strip or spot measurement for this?
Also, is all the measurement done within ColorPort?
I see two tabs, Create target and Measure target. I assume you should have the second selected.
The spectro is connected and the white lights are pulsing indicating it is calibrated. What next? Just attach it to the measuring board and start reading the targets in line by line?
I see Target/Select Target or Target Manager…
Apart from this there aren’t many other options to explore in the software.
Ok, I’ve realized now that you have to import the correct target in target manager. It would seem I’ve printed the target for i1Profiler in my process though. Can the target be read in i1Profiler or will I need to start again by printing the ColorPort target?
Do you mean the Piezography manual or the manual within ColorPort? If you can point me to where it tells you explicitly I will follow the instructions.
It says ‘this manual does not tell you how to read the measurements’ and that is what I’m trying to figure out now. Just need a few hints.
It should be Tab Delimited with only “LAB” checked on.
These steps and screenshots are written starting on page 60 in the manual. Most of those screenshots will be also included in the PiezoDN section on the next release.
Re-install QuadtoneRIP for windows. When you open the installer, check on the “Curve Creation Tools”. This will install the QTR-Linearize-Quad droplet.
You may find it useful to also read the QTR manual.
Hi Walker, thanks. I do have the manual open in front of me. As you can see I’ve got through most of the steps with it. I’m just checking that I’m doing things 100% correct here.
The QTR-Linearize-Quad was missing however so I will try the re-install as suggested
That’s printed on the wrong side of the paper, short of the standard printing time. So room for small improvements!
Amazed at how well the first print has come out without any tweaking though.
Thank you for your patience with my somewhat basic questions at times. It was worth staying up til 4am to print the correct step-test then muddling through the rest of the calibration this morning. Now I’ve gone through once it will become easier. Such a beautiful, well-designed workflow. Was expecting to come across way more stumbling blocks on the way to figuring it out.
I demonstrated salt printing at the behest of my old tutor today and the students seemed to really enjoy.
If the R2880 hadn’t have developed an un-blockable nozzle last Mon I still wouldn’t have got this up and running by now. The manual looked daunting so I was putting it off, wrongly so.
Hopefully now I have a new 1500W I won’t encounter the same problems with blockages as my clapped-out R2880. So appendages crosses there will be less evenings of flushing nozzles and head cleanings and more time making prints. Hooray
