@itsab1989 : I see you are using a custom paper size too in i1Profiler, so I might suggest this:
You can see the custom paper size is 293.7 x 230 mm and setting the path widh to 8.7 and patch height to 8 mm (compatible to both i1Pro2 and i1Pro3 alike)
Now why this setting: it has 24 rows of 27 patches in each row making a total of 648 patches. By choosing "prioritise chart area, then fit patches to it" we can choose: strips: 24 (rows in i1Profiler) and patches per strip: 27, thus forcing to the same configuration of the i1Profiler (24 rows of 27 strips, sample above). Claude can choose the virtual page pwxf-configuration of
paper width= 296,7 mm
paper height= 230 mm
patch layout:
patch width= 8.7 mm
patch height=8 mm
So a virtual page in i1Profiler is generated with these parameters. The patch height of 8 mm is deliberate: the reason is this value is compatible to both i1Pro2 (minimum height 8 mm) and i1Pro3 (minimum height 7 mm)
This would make it easier (I think) for the conversion as the amount of rows x strips is now fixed, as the ChromIQ target would be like this:
The reason is that with a fixed 8 mm x 10 mm like you have suggested can cause a different layout depending of your instrument settings (I did some tweaking, because I make my targets compatible to both the i1Pro1 and the i1Pro2 scanning jig) and my configuration using the 8x10 mm setting for a patch causes an extra row to be created (22 instead of the proposed 21 rows). This will mess up the conversion to the txf-file as the conversion probably will expect 21 rows of 24 patches). Now by choosing the "prioritise chart area, then fit patches to it" setting I think the engine can take this into account for the conversion too to change the coordinates (which patch on which position in the x/y-table of the ultimate txf-file) accordingly.
So one could choose for example:
10 rows (stripes) of 15 patches you also be possible to convert small 10x15 cm ChromIQ targets towards the txf format of i1Profiler independently of the exact patch size in ChromIQ, as you now fix the amount of stripes (rows) and patches per row so increasing or decreasing the paper size will always guarantee that let's say a given patch colour is on position row=3 and patch count=5 of this lookup table of 10 rows and 15 patches.
If you would use a fixed patch width and patch height in ChromIQ, depending of a slight instrument setting or paper border limit can move this particular patch colour to another postion of the X/Y lookup table, messing up the conversion.
Also the 24x27 corresponds to a lot of my presets in ChromIQ for Letter/A4 and this layout is about the maximum amount comfortable to be scanned with the i1Pro1/i1Pro2/i1Pro3 spectro (648 patches per page).
