Re: [colorvision_group] Re: Extra large size color patches option.

Hi,

I admit that I agree that. With no margin, my PF is just fitting on

I imagine this is a choice, from dev. to let such spaces. Why ? It is
printers related ?

Btw, I'm now sure I've made mistakes, sometines, because of that...
