# ArgyllCMS Scripts

Small scripts for profiling a printer using ArgyllCMS.

## Specs

This setup for use with a ColorMunki Photo. The colour patches are small, and a
guide will be needed.

## Install

These scripts require ArgyllCMS executables to be in the system path.

For Linux, just install ArgyllCMS via a package manager or download the latest
binaries.

For Windows, one way is to install DisplayCAL and point to included ArgyllCMS
binaries in the system's `Path` environmental variable.

- Install DisplayCAL.
- Type "environ" at the Start menu to get "Edit the system environmental
  variables". Press enter.
- In the dialog, click "Environmental Variables".
- Search the "System variables" section for `Path` and edit it.
- Press "Browse" to add a new entry.
- Look for and select a path similar to:
  "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Roaming\DisplayCAL\dl\Argyll_VX.X.X\bin"
- ArgyllCMS executables should now be available from the windows command prompt.

## Usage

Under Linux:

    $ cd linux

    # Set a profile name e.g. Printer_Ink_Paper
    $ vim profilename

    $ gencharts.sh
    $ readcharts.sh
    $ genprofile.sh

    # If max errors are high (>3.0), check the offending lines
    $ checkprofile.sh

    # Re-read columns as necessary. Will need to `genprofile.sh` again after.
    $ readagain.sh

Under Windows, the included batch files run similarly to the linux ones above.
