Re: [colorvision_group] Larger Patch size will be more ergonomic and make patch measurement more fun.

2009-01-03 by Cdtobie

If your peinter will only print letter/A4 size, there are quartered  
225 patch target files in the Targets folder. Print those on letter or  
A4 from Photoshop, using the "size to fit" option in the driver, and  
assemble after printing into a 16 x 20 sheet. That should be quite  
easy to read. If your printer will print larger sheets, then all the  
targets will print with larger patches on any larger sheet size,  
direct from the application.
