I need some help please. I want to track the stability of a printer-media-ink combination over time. Is Delta E a good way to do this? The printer is inkjet with solvent inks. I don’t need an Offset Press comparison. Currently this is what I’m doing, after getting everything dialed in and building the profile I then print the IDEAlliance Color Control Wedge using the media profile through the RIP. Then I use those readings as my reference and compare later control wedges to my original using Delta E 2000. Am I missing anything, does that all sound valid? I’m using i1Profiler to do this. Thank you, David
Lots of options for this. Maxwell by CHROMiX is one……SpotOn! Verify is another….and many others. With Maxwell, you can simply tell it to use your first measurement (assumed to be your printer in it’s ideal state) as the reference against future measurements. Terry

David, I don't see anything wrong, conceptually, with your method. Wherever you chose to collect the data, you can track it in dE2000 units -- sure. You could do this using Excel -- one of the best color management utility out there -- or you could write your own software. It's not that hard. I don't think Argyll has anything to help with this... / Roger
