Digital BW, The Print

Hey Walker,

Go into the reference files of the MeasureTool and look at the text
format of the existing targets. It is not obvious how they organize
the data to target. But if you create a small one with more than one
row and column, you will get the idea.

You can pretty easily make any type of target you need that way.

Hope this helps. As I do not have a MeasureTool compatible target for
it. ColorPort saves XML and MeasureTool needs text...

Jon

PS  - losing you to color inks is going to be a very sad day. Do not
use too much C,M,Y
