Hi all,

I've finally found some time to setup printer into uncalibrated state and 
managed to disable all color management options.
Printed charts look very different now compared to those attached to my 
previous posts...

My workflow was:
1. targen -v -d4 -p2.73 -s200 -f0 Roland_XJ-740_calibration
2. printtarg -v -ii1 -R13 -pA4 Roland_XJ-740_calibration
3. chartread -H Roland_XJ-740_calibration
4. printcal -v -p -D"Roland_XJ-740 calibration" -i Roland_XJ-740_calibration
5. targen -v -d4 -G -f1323 Roland_XJ-740
6. printtarg -v -ii1 -R13 -pA4 -K Roland_XJ-740_calibration.cal Roland_XJ-740
7. chartread -H Roland_XJ-740
8. colprof -v -D"Roland_XJ-740" -qm -S sRGB.icm -P -cmt -dpp Roland_XJ-740
9. applycal -v Roland_XJ-740_calibration.cal Roland_XJ-740.icm 
Roland_XJ-740_calibrated.icm

1. I want to estimate TIL and individual ink limits from calibration and 
profile, 
   so which profile should I use with iccgamut/xicclu: with calibration applied 
or without it?

3. When I view printcal's charts, I'm somehow worried about black calibration 
curve, 
   black response isn't straight line after calibration correction applied, is 
it ok?.

4. Nikolay, You suggested me to put calibration curves into a spreadsheet and 
convert them 
   into RIP usable form, enter them into RIP, enter limits and then do 
profiling. 
   I've took data from .cal file and reflected individual curves by y=x line. 
   May You take a look if something like following spreadsheet will do?
   Gnueric spreadsheet (You need to enable "Time Series Analysis Functions" 
plugin in Gnumeric => Tools => Plug-ins)
