Re: [datacolor_group] Re: Spyder3Print profiles worse than standard Canon driver?

Yes, you can use the larger medium gray patch in the lower left image  
in SpyderProof, printed directly from Spyder3Print, to check measured  
neutrality of midtones. Actually, any point in that image will give  
you a neutrality measurement.
