Digital BW, The Print

I'm one the happy users of Roy's fabulous Quadtone Rip software.

The curve generating routine has this neat automated linearization 
routine that requires the use of a densitometer.

Unfortunately I don't have one and can't really afford one right now.

But I have an idea if anyone is game.
When setting the ink limits I print out the 21 step wedges, cut the 
strips for each ink, and compare the densities by placing on patch on 
top of another to compare. And I asked myself, "wouldn't it be cool if 
I had a 100 patch printout with the measured densities included. Then I 
could print the 21 step wedge, compare to the measured patches, and I'd 
have the densities of my wedge to input into the linearization routine.

What do you all think? Is anyone game for printing and measuring the 
100 step wedge. I know I'd be willing to pay for it, and if it works 
well so would others I might think.
