Hi,
At work I have access to an expensive professional photo spectrometer to
calibrate input and output devices in terms of color, Gretag Macbeth
(now X-Rite) Spectrolino and Spectroscan, and i1 (Eye One).
I have profiled my monitors (currently either Dell P2210 or Samsung
SyncMaster 950p+) with them, and the monitor .ICC works perfectly well
not only under Windows, but also under Linux Mint 16 Petra 64 Bit (all
updates are installed).
But not so the printer profile. No matter whether I try to import the
ICC for the printer (trusty old HP Laserjet 4P) that I have created from
a print under Linux or the one I have created from a print under
Windows, colord rejects them with the cryptic error message "invalid
UTF-8". This happens when I start "color" over the "settings" dialog
panel.
When I try to import the ICC with right click on the file and select
"import with ICC profile installation" a couple of seconds nothing
happens, then I get the even stranger error message "File could not be
imported / The profile was not added in time".
Again, gthe .ICC itself is pefectly sane and works flawlessly under
Windows 7 and 8.1. I created it with the professional software "Profile
Maker 5" from Gretag Macbeth.
Thanks for your help.
Oliver
