Hi.
I just recently purchased a Profile Maker bundle. I have created profiles for my HP130 with very little trouble.
I am using the same rip for the HP130 and the Epson 4800.
Using Profile Maker 5.0.8 I printed the Ec12002CMYKil_i0 chart and have measured the patches after letting them dry for a number of hours.
I have tried a number of variations for creating the printer profile for the epson but each time I get a bluish cast across the entire image.
I noticed that the test pages had a huge volume of ink, so is there any way to set the ink densities before you print the test pages and any ideas on why I am getting a blue cast?
Lots of ink in a profiling target is not necessarily a bad thing. But if it is to the point where the ink is puddling, or not drying, running off the page, that sort of thing - then you have too much. If you are using a RIP, then hopefully your RIP allows you to set ink limits; per channel and total ink limit. This, along with linearization should be taken care of before you attempt a profile in most cases.
Do you have the UV-cut i1Pro?
Is your “Correct for optical brightener” checkbox becoming active when you bring your measurement up in ProfileMaker? Do you know if your media has optical brighteners?
Are you on a Mac? (There are a few obscure bugs in the connections between Photoshop, Mac and Epson drivers.)
