I am helping with coordination of the exchange on the 9000 list. 
At first, I resisted the suggestion to print a very dry, highly 
technical image; I wanted to print one regular photograph almost 
full-bleed, but after messing with this target image, I've learned a 
lot, and I now see why they like it.

Here is our Instruction Page, and the link for the image 
download. Have a look:

Given, we are looking at color gamut and surface textures of 
various papers for the most part, and that wouldn't necessarily 
apply to this list, but still, some of these items on the target 
image are surprisingly useful. You could probably add some 
other graphics that would test B/W more thoroughly.

This image started as a JPG; I didn't like that part. It would be 
great if you could find an image that always lived as a TIFF, 
without any artifacting.
