Sorry for not clearing that up that. I'm sure Gill's targen command is
quite superior. But I don't think the rest of the world knows this.
Let say someone in the local photo club asks me, if I can profile
their printer. And I ask them, should I use a world class self made
printer target or one that rest of the world use. I guess most of them
will prefer the "rest of the world" version, especially when they know
my world class operating system. :-)
I would continue to use targen myself and recommend it to others. My
starting point was more it nice to have the possibility to read those
"standard" targets. It is also a part of my learning process.
The creation of the target was quite simple. I downloaded the
colorlab utility. It runs on my linux box with wine. I read in the
reference file and created a custom layout for it.

And back to the target, something is terrible wrong. :-) I have
created a reference file for the freely available profilemaker
measurements tool. I have installed this on one of the computers at my
work. It only works in left right direction with my ref file, but I
get a deltaE about 0.05 better than argyll. I guess this confirm that
my file is not so bad created, but maybe I can tweak the ti2 file a
little more. I have added the files to the above address.
profile –v read_by_chartread (sample-luster.ti3)
profile check complete, peak err = 4.363661, avg err = 0.938499
profile –v read_by_profilmaker (sample-profilemaker.txt )
profile check complete, peak err = 3.614479, avg err = 0.882414
