Are you testing color or B/W performance? CMYK RIP or no RIP (Epson
driver)? I have something I need to make a cable for and check first,
and if you felt like doing the test again with a different target.
You're in the US, correct?

I'm thinking a simple 135 patch RGB profile target (or maybe 343
patches if I can get the print small enough). Maybe a grayscale target
for those with only grayscale inks, but I would need to look into that
too. Two prints would need to be made, one exposed to light, and one
sealed away from air in the dark (to keep it from being exposed to
gases). If it works correctly I have an automated measuring device,
and that device uses very small targets, so it would be a small print
probably around 4x6 size or smaller.
