That said there are reasons to use the scrambled patches... Once upon a time it was said that the printers could have issues printing the same series of colors (probably do to ink flow issues) so that the profile would not be as good if the patches were all in sequence. Not sure this applies with the more modern printers.

Thanks for the feedback.  Tyler, I remember Bill saying the same thing about better accuracy with unscrambled charts.  Apparently, the i1 in strip does better that way.  So, I am using unscrambled charts for my inkjet.  

Greg, valid point about presses.  For press, I will either profile scrambled charts, or multiple unscrambled charts printed in different orientations and averaged readings.  

I didn't notice earlier that ColorPort allows me to create gaps in scrambled charts too, so the read errors with the i1 in strip mode become a moot point.
