Both of these things have already been covered.

Rather than engaging in programming exercises, several folk have
simply printed the chard ID and row ID on a color printer, cut them
out, and tape them over the monochrome image.

There is a Pulse format QTR ink separations in the files area on this
group. Tape your color row ID and chart ID on that and you're golden.
