I did take an existing setup and re-linearized it and saved it for a similar paper. I would have thought that re-linearizing would have been enough, but I guess I need to learn how to optimize the workflow.
I'm trying to do a bit more on this with the 8300, however I've got some other testing work that is taking precedence at the moment ;-)
The review I wrote about TBW was whilst I had a 6300 on loan from Canon last year, when Bowhaus had relatively few paper profiles for x300 printers. It's worth noting that I found a problem in the software and they were very quick to fix it.
I did try (re)linearising a couple of curves with the 8300 on two Innova papers (IFA-49 and 11) and found that picking initial profiles to linearise (with an i1 pro) will take a bit more time and care, in that one seemed to go quite well, whist another just kept getting kinks and transitions where I didn't want them.
Having had some experience in generating ink curves from scratch for QTR, I'd rather not get too much into this side of things, since it takes a lot of work to get it right - there's also a guide/hints to doing it with QTR, not so for TBW
I'd also want to make it clear that after my initial testing with TBW, my only real concerns were with issues related to paper handling and sizes - not the quality of the prints. I know some have dismissed this as unimportant, but it wasn't to me - as they say YMMV and it was my review :-)
On a related matter, I did recently look at some
qualitative aspects of 8300 greyscale performance under different lighting, particularly when using the Canon B/W print mode. This may be of interest to those looking to use it for B/W?
