Larger Patch size will be more ergonomic and make patch measurement more fun.

2009-01-03 by edmcgrath18

Hi.
I know i've asked this before and so has probably others but i believe 
it's still justified. I want a larger patch size option for ease of 
measurement. It would be best if the current size (it can't get any 
smaller than current setup)  is the minimum and then there would be a 
medium and then large or even super size patch. 

I know one can minimize the margins and on the epson TX100 drivers i 
could also enlarge the test print (but it does get off centred and 
luckily all the patches were still on the paper). Sometimes minimizing 
the margins still produce a pretty tight patch for reading.

Most of the effort in measuring the patches goes to aligning and 
centering the reader over the patches. And its' very tight currently so 
it does slow down the whole process when i have to be sure i don't make 
a mistake by including another small piece of the next patch. I know 
some of you can crank out a reading over mere minutes but i do get a 
bit cross-eyed and need to take a few breaks or else i'll make a 
mistake.

There is still a lot of white spaces all round the patches and we can 
also forgo the notes area below for the patches to grow.

Can we have it the next version - hopefully very very soon? - Please.

Thank-you.

Ed.
