Vuescan supports the 10000XL and much more scanner models. Works in 3 OS environments. It allows a RAW DNG export (disguised Tiff) without any influence on the image. Could be a good start for this instead of using the Epson software. Add a whiter patch than the original to the scan, for example a stack of Teflon tape. Any unknown OBA content in the original may still bring its white above that level though, depending on the scanner's light source. RAW profile based on Colorchecker or profiling after the RAW stage Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst http://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm July 2016 update, 700+ inkjet media white spectral plots On Thu, Nov 10, 2016 at 1:18 AM, Martin Orpen <martin@idea-digital.com> wrote:

Anyone experience this?
Yes. But I'd blame the scanner for this, not the profiling software :-)
I tried to tame an Epson 10000XL A3 scanner when we were having problems with our Fuji Lanovia.
The Epson software made it really difficult to lock the scanner settings down — meaning that each scanning session would yield different results for the same chart even when you’d made every effort to keep the settings locked and consistent.
I use custom made charts on the print material we were scanning — mostly Kodak Endura, Fuji Gloss and Fuji Super Gloss — but we’d still get variable results and clipping too.
The profiles were made in Profilemaker as, unlike i1Profiler, you have the flexibility to create your own custom chart designs.
I reckoned that the variation was due to slackness in the Epson’s internal pre-scan white point calibration?
So, providing the scan you used to create the profile didn’t clip the white, manually editing the production scans prior to applying the profile to ensure their white doesn’t clip should give you reasonable results.
