Mathias,
I think Jim H's mentioning that both separate-color and full-cart-colors purge-patterns are 
now available at www.inksupply.com (enter 'purging' in their search field) distracted 
me from answering your actual question about editing the full-cart-colors pattern. 
To edit, just open a purge-pattern file in an image-editor, select the part you want 
and do a crop. You can shorten the columns of color as well as remove the colors that you 
don't need to exercise. (I often use shortened columns, since printing the full column isn't 
needed to repressurize after running three cleaning cycles).

  How do you edit this purge-pattern, please?
