| /Tools/ | 255Step_Linearity_Checker.zip | ZIP | A 255-step grey wedge for checking the linearity using an i1. Includes the TIFF to print, the i1 reference file, and an example of an Excel graph of the data produced for one paper. Use GM MeasureTool in the normal way to measure the printed chart. Then use Roy's Linearisation program to produce a usable file as normal. Because the steps are so small it is best to measure three times and average the result - even smalll errors show up at this resolution! | 83.4 KB | Open |

| /Tools/ | ink_flush_images.zip | ZIP | Here's a way to selectively flush your printer's ink. It's a trick I learned from ColorByteSoftware instructions to flush the Cyan ink for their Phatt Black ink. I think this is much less wasteful than Epson's power clean mode. Besides, you can leave the printer to do its thing while you enjoy your tea or coffee break. Relax and enjoy the outside while your Epson is flushing! | 63.5 KB | Open |
| /Tools/ | Ink_Limit_Pattern_Page.zip | ZIP | This is a slightly modified version of Harrington's inkseperation.psd file. It's purpose is to help myself conveniently identify the ink limit for each ink. I find this helpful, and maybe you'll find this helpful for yourself as well. | 136.7 KB | Open |

| /Tools/ | inkseparation-K-LK.psd | PSD | this is the K-LK Ink Separation file I use in the curve process described in Leopard-CS3-Profiling-Process in the DOC folder. | 462.4 KB | Open |
| /Tools/ | K7-2100-EEM-mimic-cone-curves.xls | XLS | This is a spreadsheet to create curve definitions from .QUAD files. It is not fully automatic, but it does make the whole process simpler. This spreadsheet was done for EpEnhMatte on a 2100. Some tweaking is likely to be necessary for other combinations. There are some instructions, but to tweak it you will need to work out the logic. | 573.0 KB | Open |
