Hi! I'm going to calibrate and profile wide format solvent printer: Roland
XJ-740.RIP software i'm using (VersaWorks) has ability to calibrate printer...
but i want to disable it (by setting linear curves) and use Argyll all the way
through (i want profile with calibration) This is my calibration &
profiling procedure:=== Calibration ===1. targen -v -d4 -s50 -e4 -f0
Roland_XJ-740_calibration2. printtarg -v -ii1 -R13 -pA4
Roland_XJ-740_calibration3. printing "calibration test chart"4. chartread -H
Roland_XJ-740_calibration5. printcal -v -p -D"Roland_XJ-740 calibration" -i
Roland_XJ-740_calibration === Profiling ===6. targen -v -d4 -G -g11 -s11 -f1323
Roland_XJ-7407. printtarg -v -ii1 -R13 -pA4 -K Roland_XJ-740_calibration.cal
Roland_XJ-7408. printing "profiling test chart"9. chartread -H Roland_XJ-74010.
colprof -v -D"Roland_XJ-740" -qm -S sRGB.icm -cmt -dpp Roland_XJ-74011.
applycal -v Roland_XJ-740_calibration.cal Roland_XJ-740.icm
Roland_XJ-740_calibrated.icm Hence i have a couple of questions:A) Are above
steps right? Maybe You have some comments or advices...:)B) Do I have to
additionally apply calibration file to the created profile (step 11) or "-K
Roland_XJ-740_calibration.cal" in printtarg (step 7) sufficient? In other
words... by using -K option is calibration file passed to colprof or it is
used only while printing "profiling test chart" (step 8)?C) Is colprof smart
enough to use ink limits from the calibration file or I have to give them to
colprof explicitly?D) Is setting up ink limits at RIP required (for example
total ink limit: 250%)? or limits contained in icc profile are sufficient
(while RIP individual limits are set to 100%, total ink limit: 400%)? Best
