Do not judge if you see a difference (you should see a difference between every target), you want to judge where you would “accept” the difference.

Your e-Factor is 0.

The same image is being displayed for both Reference and Sample, and you are not accepting any level of difference. If you actually see a difference, it could be because the monitor is not consistent from the left side to the right side. Use the BasicColorDisplay software to measure the consistency of your monitor.

No print process can ensure a 0 E-Factor match. The best you can expect today is a 2 E-Factor match, which requires a top certified printer, that is keeping their devices extremely well maintained and controlled and will cost substantially more than an average printer that prints at an E-Factor of 5. Please take this exercise again, and be more lenient in your level of expectations, unless you have a large budget and want to work with a ChromaChecker certified printer that can maintain a 2-3 E-Factor.
