Roger,

we both use a Canon ImageProGraf Pro-1000 and these printer have a "slot" to record the calibration for a specific paper. This is done automatically on the Pro-1000 but this is only available on high end printer from Canon.

I don't have an Epson so I can't help you with that, except to say you can calibrate some models with QuadToneRip.

Epson RGB calibration?

I never « calibrated » an Epson inkjet printer prior to sending it any characterization target. It’s not a printing press, it’s an RGB-driver based output device. As long as one sticks to the same “paper presets” (Matte vs Gloss vs ….) in the Print settings screen, Mac or PC, and selects the “No Color Management” option, I fail to see what “calibration” would afford anyone in terms of “extra accuracy”: I routinely get less than 1 deltaE AVG on an IT8.7/4 simulating GRACoL.

Do you do only the self calibration and or you do an Argyll calibration on top of that?

    For what it's worth, my own profiling workflow is to make an
    initial profile using a 924 patch set (two letter size pages).  I
    use this profile as a pre-conditioning profile for the final profile.
