Hello,
I’m looking for references on device linearization techniques and algorithms.
Have an inkjet textile printer that’s proving difficult to characterize because of the
amount of ink it lays down. Don’t want to just pick an arbitrary ink limit. Would rather
calculate it empirically.

Dwight,
For ink limit, we work with values from experience. It depends on various variables like
the used ink, the substrate, the resolution, the printing speed, usage of light inks,
...
We have not yet found an algorithm that calculates it based on the linearized single
channels. Hence we use a TAC chart when we have a new combination of parameters. As
printed ares above the maximum ink threshold may have "artefacts" that cannot
get caught using a spectrophotopmeter, a user has to decide what limit to set. Important:
it shall define the maximum TAC that can get printed on that substrate. A further
reduction to less TAC should be done when generating the ICC profile.
Happy to hear about other experiences.

Hi Dwight, in accordance with Peter (and by my long term experinece) - I
do not use algorithms (even if the RIP contains it). Much better is have
printed a good TAC target, make some measurement with a good handheld, and
a carefully examine the material and overprint patches.
Cheers, Kamil,
