Digital BW, The Print

I've had several contacts from people with other than the R220 printer who
want to use this scanner ICC procedure.  The problem is to find a middle
gray reference.  The alternative to the r220 test strip is to use the
standard Kodak Gray Card for the middle gray calibration point.  My old gray
card reads Lab L=50.  I think that opens the procedure up to most.
