Thanks!! Below is the message that got me confused in i1profiler and then looking for other solutions. From your demo, it seems to only be a warning but I didn't want to take any chances. I printed out your target yesterday evening and will scan it in tonight. fingers are crossed I also messed around with cropping in photoshop to make another target but I didn't print it out. It works pretty well and I had fun doing it

I use this trick all the time with i1Profiler. How could I otherwise compres as much patches on a single sheet of paper, that otherwise is not possible with the standard setting. Define a virtual larger paper size and use photoshop to compress and squeeze the patches into a more convenient format/layout. My target for printable PVC-ID cards (credit card size) is also done with PS. For patch generating I do not use the i1Profiler "smart patch generator", but rather on the much more advanced ArgyllCMS targen command and convert this into cgat compatible format to be loaded and saved as a pxf-file. ArgyllCMS targen command is way superior in patch distribution/sampling than i1Profiler and I can exactly define the amount of grey steps for a given patch count, not possible with i1Profiler "smart" patch generator. It also distributes more evenly in the RGB color space than i1Profiler (-g argument) so all the sampling points will avoid each other maximally. i1Profiler has a particular way of distributing in which only at given patch counts the sampling points are evenly spread in the RGB color space and sometimes gives zero grey/neutral patches with some patch counts. A very good universal target is the built-in TC9.18 Gretag MacBeth target that is based on RGB 9x9x9 and also grey/neutral steps similar to the one of SpyderPrint Enhanced Grey target. This special patch layout cannot be generated with the standard patch generator with 918 patches.
