now the right one, but i choose instrument margin, and it gives error on Top margin

 

[mavtop]

is better randomize patches or keep fixed ?

i would like to use always the same patches, else how i discover if another set or other colors are better if i randomize always

@pharmacist which minimum size would i use for the patches ?

That's because the labels for the strips (the A, B, C...) are not actually inside the 9mm margin you set put pushed up a bit. Should still be printed on the chart but it gives you a warning. However this chart will not read because you have to start and end on paper white with your device for every strip. So the label will get in the way here. So either you increase the top margin so it produces a gap between the labels and the patches or you turn the labels off completely which is possible but you would then have to double check that you are measuring the correct strip every time.

Edit: randomize is better for reading because there is more contrast between patches next to each other so it is easier to figure out for the program where one patch ends and where the next one starts.
Minimum width is 7,3mm for i1Pro (but Pharmacist will know this better than me). But the smaller you make them the slower and more careful you have to be when measuring them.

Edit 2: When you try for the first time please try on cheap (plain) paper so you don't waste your best paper just to find out something is not working

OK, I made a new target set:

Maybe you can have a look at this. The ti3 has been read, so you can see how you can do the scanner profile.

I think you will need the ti3 file and the tif file for the scanner profile. @itsab1989: maybe you can have a look at what I am doing wrong.

Using the ChromIQ patch generator I suggest 8 mm minimum for the i1Pro1. The i1Pro2 can deal with 7.5 mm or even smaller, but 8 mm should be ok for the older i1Pro1
