Hi John!

I would start with the 225 patch target and the 238 Extended Grays;
do all of your initial profiling and tests with those; and then, later
on, see if you can produce a visibly better profile by substituting a 729
patch measurement for the 225. This will also keep your measuring time
down.

The best way to do this is to print all of the targets at once, so that
at least they'll all have the same drying down time. Then save the 729
patch target print for later measurements.

(You do have the 2.0 version of PFP installed, correct?)
