💖 printer-profile — the group chat guide 💖

ok so bestie, this is printer-profile from the General Commands Manual, section 1, and honestly? it's giving "mad scientist with a colorimeter" and I'm obsessed. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

printer-profile — profile using X-Rite ColorMunki and Argyll CMS 🌈

🫶 SYNOPSIS 🫶

printer-profile [options] manuf model [rgb|cmyk] [patches] [ink-limit]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Okay so here's the whole vibe: printer-profile prints out a test chart, then it takes the ColorMunki instrument and scans that chart in, and then it computes an ICM profile using the Argyll Color Management System. That's it. That's the whole arc. main character energy fr fr. 💅

Now, the manuf and model combos, and yes you have to match them up exactly, no mixing and matching:

  • Manuf is "sam". Model is "clp-300", "clp-315", "clp-325" or "clp-365". ✨
  • Manuf is "hp". Model is "2600" or "cp1215".
  • Manuf is "km". Model is "2300" or "2530".
  • Manuf is "dell". Model is "1355".

"rgb" is the usual setting, like the default girlie of the two. And patches is a multiple of 196 per page — yes, 196, that's the number, don't fight it. 🦋

And if your printer isn't on the list? You literally just edit the script for additional models. DIY queen behavior. 👑

💅 OPTIONS 💅

  • -b 1|2 — bits per pixel (the default is 1)
  • -r XRESxYRES — resolution. Default is ''. (())
  • -P rem-print — remote print (64-bit) machine, or none (default is amd)
  • -S rem-scan — remote scan (ColorMunki) machine, or none (default is mac)
  • -D lvl — debug level

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

Profile the Samsung clp-315:

$ printer-profile sam 315 rgb 196

ate. no crumbs. 😌

💀 BUGS 💀

gs 8.64 and before has problems with 32-bit machines and color profile data. Don't use! like genuinely, don't, I'm not being dramatic (I am a little being dramatic but also don't).

Also you need Argyll_V1.5.1 or later. Periodt.
