Profiling 9"x6" printer

Profiling 9"x6" printer

2008-05-01 by Vincent MacNamara

I want to profile a Mitsubishi dye-sub that can only print up to 9"x6". 
I know I can resize the target in the print driver to fit on the paper, 
but will the Spyder 3 be able to read from the smaller targets?

There are special targets in the target folder for smaller printers. These targets cut the 225 patch target into quaters, to fit printers as small as 4x5. You can print them on your dyesub, tape the four together to recreate the 225 patch target, and read as you would any 225 patch target print. You will need to print the targets from Photoshop, with care not to convert the colors in the process, other than that it should be quite straightforward.

Thanks for your help. I was holding off on purchase until I could 
find this out.
