Hi @itsab1989 i would like to use your program, but i would like if possible to remove some of the info printed on the Chart, i attached the screenshoot taken from an earlier screenshoot posted here i would like to print the maximum number of patches in a single A4 portrait or landscape (the one with more patches), but maybe i want to leave some of them.

Is possible to have some toggle buttons to enable/disable each one of them ? o a way to rearrange them ?

Thanks for your work, i'm still trying to understand how to build a good set of patches for my old i1pro.

Would i use the stable or the beta ?

I attach another screenshoot of a target i created, that i mean in the request, i see a lof of white space on the left/right of the A4 Landscape paper, can it be used to add more patches ? is there a way ?

At the right there is argyllcms info, can them be removed ?

In around 10 minutes beta 96 should be ready. In the beta you used before it did not show the full error report from scanin. If you get the same error in the new beta it should now be easier to figure out what went wrong

In the 3.13.0 beta we replaced printtarg with our own ChromIQ layout engine (based on printtarg though). This new engine offers more customizability for what you want to place on the chart. What exactly do you want to have on it / not on it?

Colprof produced no output....maybe there is no target icc defined (e.g. AdobeRGB1988.icc ?)

I have chosen a smaller area to read (35%) from so the chances of touching the space bars is virtually non existing:

Ok i downloaded the beta96 and now it seems better, but i don't understand if i can squeeze the patches more i got 756 patches

I used chromiq to choose patches, i don;t know why if i reduce Top margin under 11 it gives a warning while i'm still in the instrument range
