Hi Mr Tobie,

I'm trying to avoid printing it through photoshop at this stage as 
i'm afraid i'll add in some other variances that could affect the 
measurements. I'll rather print it from the Spyderprint/printfix pro 
application - when i do that i know i have produced the correct patch 
printouts. In photoshop - There'll be too many settings in the 
photoshop print dialog for to screw-up.

Thank-you.
