David or Dave,

I am not able to correctly read the greyscale target supplied with QTR
with the ColorVision spectro because of the targets small size
designed for Eye One.

I assume I can double the size of this target (without any color
management added) to print out and get accurate readings. Am I
correct? How would you suggest I handle the output resolution which is
set to 360 dpi?

Just print it as large as you want. You're going to be printing this
through QTR, don't forget; not through PFP; you need to open it up and
print it according to the docs that come with QTR. The only thing you're
doing with PFP is reading the step wedges and exporting them as a file
you can directly put through QTR-Create-ICC.

(The file you'll want to print is "Step-21-gray.tif" - don't use the 51
step, I don't recall testing it with anything other than the 21 steps).

Roy Harrington recommends using the "Step-21x4-random.tif" as it has an error correction 
built-in.
