Hi! I'm very new to this, and i've been reading extensively on how to use
argyll with my colormunki photo.
I need to properly profile my epson stylus pro 7800 to do prepress color
proofs, and to do so i followed the instructions to profile a CMYK printer
(I am using printfab to print directly from CMYK, please correct me if
using this kind of RIP is appropriate or unnecessary).
I printed a 630 patch test, scanned them and created a profile using a
GRACoL standard profile for the matching.
The result was pretty awful: The colors are very wrong, and the profile is
just unusable.
All i can tell is that the avg error when creating the profile was 2.x, and
the max. error was 25 (pretty high apparently).

Can i get some feedback to figure out where i couldn't gone wrong?

Thank you SO much.

Best regards from Chile
