Considering the results above what is your opinion of the HP G4010/4050
(dual illumination mode) scanner test results Image Engineering
published in this PDF ?:
http://tinyurl.com/lqtk7wp
About 4 DeltaE on an acrylic paint chart described as follows:
"In addition an acrylic painting was produced using 23 acrylic colors
which were mixed with black in 5 steps so that a total of 115 patches
were created."
Which most likely had between 8 to 10 pigment varieties if I consider
the usual art paint offerings.
Scoring on average <4 DeltaE on the other charts:
"An IT8 target on Fuji crystal archive paper represents the photographic
samples. A sample derived from the IT8 reference data was printed on
three different ink jet printers the HP 9180 which uses pigment inks and
the Epson Stylus Color 1290 and Canon i560 representing dye based inks."
They all are based on CMY(K) mixes but at least had a CMYK pigment chart
included.
While your measuring unit is more strict, the Image Engineering DIY
acrylic chart represents one of the many cases in practice. The CCSG
chart may represent the average of jobs like that but is usually also
the target to aim the profiling at. This desktop scanner is of course a
poor man's solution compared to multi-spectral capture methods. I wonder
whether this HP dual illumination method could be improved for repro
work with scanners and cameras .
There is an analogy to the X-Rite Passport CC dual illumination DNG
profiling that seems to create a better color fidelity than a single
illumination DNG profile even when the light conditions are kept
consistent. The Passport target is limited and the RAW route probably
not best for repro work (if I interpreted this thread correctly) but it
would be interesting if that profiling step could be enhanced with say
the CCSG target.
HP Artist, mentioned also in this thread, works somewhat different but I
expect that the developments were related. HP had a lot of research
going in this field 10 to 5 years ago.
