Digital BW, The Print

Peter,

Could it be that Epson decided how many samples of each patch they wanted 
the spectro to take, and then set the size of the patch accordingly? Smaller 
patches means fewer samples = less accuracy. You should take 5 seconds to 
read a strip according to Epson. If you start doing things differently, then 
you may get different results to what Epson got with their 'standard' 
printer that you are trying to calibrate to. Same with drying time; they 
suggest 30 mins and even provide you with a countdown to measurement. Change 
that and you may get different results that are not comparable to theirs.

This is real science, not subjective art!

Intrigued by this new Epson offering, decided to have a go at the
calibration process. Software straight forward to use BUT what really
pi....me off is that you have to print the target on a sheet of A3/B?.
When the target was printed, it was only slightly bigger than A4. The
target could easily be trimmed to fit on a sheet of A4 but no you have
to use A3 and waste alot of paper. Why ????

Hmm not sure about this utility yet.
