Michael, it could be arranged, but I don't think it will help you. As
far as I can tell, Quickread can't do anything that ColorPort can't
do. It lets you read as many lines as you want without a TID (the
multicolored barcode at the top of the sheet) but each line still
needs a unique RID (1-3 colored blocks at the beginning of the line)
to be able to read in strip mode. It won't work if you're reading a
pure monochrome set (like K7 or Wiz7) or a reduced gamut set like MIS
UT7 or UT3D. For any of those sets, you'll have to print a colored
strip of RIDs on a color printer, then paste that onto the monochrome
chart.
