I have had a strange thing happen in regards to my Canon iPF6100 printer. I was sent a beta paper to test for a paper manufacturer. Needless to say, because it was beta, no profiles are available and I have to create my own. No big problem... except a single patch causes the whole profile to fail. For some reason, a blue target patch of RGB value 192, using an eye dropper in Photoshop, ends up printing sort of a light to medium gray-ish. No heads are clogged. I print a perfect test page on the heads and alignment equally prints perfectly. I use only Canon inks. I just can't figure out why this one particular color is so far off that the i1 profiler returns the message, "you possibly scanned the wrong line". For any of you who have i1 match, it's the last patch on line 22 of the i1 TC 9 (page 2) charts. Neither Canon nor X-rite have been able to shine light on this or are terribly helpful beyond the usual.
Thanks,
Nemo
