Frank,

Thanks for the info. I never bought one of their calibrated targets and
didn't realize that they only did neutral density checks. If you do have
some of their strips you could have them checked on a good color
densitometer or spectrophotometer. My X-Rite 811 reads RGB as well as
neutral or visible density. Or perhaps you need something more neutral gray
than what you have. In any case when you find what you are looking for let
us know.
