Actually I use the for 3 different printers and just manually set the
margins- they are a little off but not enough to affect profiling. I will be
interested in the new guide when time to upgrade.Thank You

As long as you don't acquire a different printer with different

of products

As far as the guide, I made templates about a year ago for all my PFP
2.1 targets. For each type of target from Fast Target through all of
the 8.5 X 11 Targets including Extended Greys, Used 10 X 12 sheets of
3/8" plexiglass, centered each target under sheet of plexiglass and
made light punch point right in the center of each target patch.
Drilled beveled hole at each punch point (large enough to accept the
spectrocolorimeter). On the down side of the plexiglass painted 8.5 X
11 matte black rectangle to match entire target size. This makes it
easy to line up target because edges of guide are still clear.
Painted upside of target with black teflon paint. Now all I have to
do to resd target is move spectrocolorimeter from hole to hole and
click enter key on keyboard. Takes about 2 minutes to read target
with no errors.It was a lot of work but now I can reprofile my paper
stock as I order new batches and make new profiles easily. (forgot to
say that when the holes are drilled I round the top edges of the
holes to make it very easy to move from guide hole to guide
hole....Aloha
