Did the recheck now using the binaries from the website and not the ones from the ubuntu ppa repository. Everything is fine now: Profile check complete, errors: max. = 6.163437, avg. = 1.709289, RMS = 1.947874 Is it OK that after creating a new target with targen -v -d2 -G -f 1170 -c RGB_C530dn_1.icc -A.8 RGB_C530dn_2 and repeating the profiling process I get a slightly higher error: Profile check complete, errors: max. = 9.280208, avg. = 2.041050, RMS = 2.375842 As far as i can say now, it seems that targen from the ppa is/was faulty. -rj On Monday 01 February 2010 10:45:52 Richard Jabkowski wrote: > I tried to feed targen with the previously created profile, but killed the > target generation after some hours, because it seems to stuck.
