Now I understand why you asked again, sorry. I see that my file name was not reflecting that it had Plus Grays. I also found some manual copy paste errors, so I upload the files again here (and on previous message), now named "A4-Expert Target Plus Grays (2 pages - 989 patches)-i1".

Sorry for the confusion. I hope it now works for your i1. I will update all the other example targets too in a new release soon.

Cheers,
K

Is it possible to upload the bare patch set with only 729 + 234 Extended grays patches (ti1 file with 963 patches in total) without the extra black and white patches up to 989 patches ? The reason I want to play with printtarg to obtain an optimal placement of the patches.

I will upload all of the examples soon. The one I gave you is the 729 + 238 grays = 967. The last 22 lines with black and white you can remove as you wish, then you have the original patches in sequence.

Cheers,

There is something very strange with the ti1 files: it generates greenish space bars when I choose the -b argument in printtarg (not real white/black). it doesn't make sense to me and removing the last patches in your ti1 file still generates those extra black patches....I will wait.

Yes, I noticed that too. That is something related to the printtarg command. I have not found that anything is wrong with the ti1 files, but it is not impossible that some tag-name is missing, that is the cause for that. This requires some playing around with tags.

I see some other ti1 files that have made target file with black and white spacers, and the one I am looking at has these tags:
WHITE_COLOR_PATCHES "2"
BLACK_COLOR_PATCHES "4"
COMP_GREY_STEPS "32"
NEUTRAL_STEPS "48"
MULTI_DIM_BCC_STEPS "2"
OFPS_PATCHES "235"


I currently do not make them. You could try to insert them and see if it makes a difference.


Aaahh... I just noticed. The first time you sent me files, then your tiff had proper black and white, but that time I manually added these:
WHITE_COLOR_PATCHES "6"
BLACK_COLOR_PATCHES "7"

If you can add them into your ti1 file (do a search and count how many of them there are) and confirm if this fixes the issue, then I will automate creating these tags in the code.

Appreciate your help :)

Cheers,
K
