Re: Installing turboprint 3 on Fedora 44 Asahi on Mac Mini

Hello harkrf,

thank you for your post, unfortunately, it is always difficult to configure all dependencies in such a way that they are compatible with most Linux systems.

As in your case the required .1 library version is missing, you can just create a symbolic link for it that point to the .3 ...

Re: Colorspace choice

Hello phrrk,

when printing from an application, the entire print job is sent as a raster image, with the colours referring to a single colour space – this is the colour space that should be set in both the application and TurboPrint. Unfortunately, the print job itself does not contain any ...

Re: manual in wrong place (version 3)

Hello and thank you for providing the solution. The problem seems to be an old system.cfg, the location of the manual has been changes as some browsers can only access /usr/share/doc (sandboxed browsers like Firefox in SNAP).

Re: Ink Limit and UCR on Profiles

Hello, for best print quality, it is not recommend to go below ink limit 200. If you specify a lower ink limit, it is possible that dark red is printed with a bit of black ink in the profile target. It is not certain if black is actually used in dark red later when printing with the color profile ...

Re: Color capabilities comparison

Hello, I am sorry for not replying earlier and that adjusting the ink saturation is such a "trial and error" process.

The difference in Gamma should not be noticeable in real world photos but maybe in strong colors like a company logo with a specific Pantone color.
It looks as if the PrintFab ...

Hello Doug,

the quiet mode is currently not supported, for thick papers you can set the "Platen Gap" setting to "Large". Please let me know if this setting is not sufficient for your paper or envelopes.

Re: Canon vs TurboPrint ICC Files

Hello. You are right, the high ΔE are probably caused by the fact that ICC profiles cannot be interchanged between the genuine Canon driver and TurboPrint. The reason is that color reproduction is dependent not only on paper and ink but also on the driver / RIP software: different printer drivers ...

Re: Print quality

For the XP-65 printer the TurboPrint print quality levels for plain paper are actually "180dpi", "360dpi" and "1440dpi". However, the "1440dpi" mode should have about the print speed of the Gutenprint driver's 720dpi.
