Hi :)

Good to hear - not had a chance to play with this aspect yet, though :)
* Added device power value for targen to allow calibrating devices
that have extreme non linearity.
Thanks for adding this - I've not played in great depth, but it seems to
be doing the trick. As a stress-test I deliberately cranked the ink
coverage up to just shy of the point where a single channel at 100%
saturates the paper and printed a test chart with -p3.0. As expected
the TIFF looked very light, but when printed gave a nice evenly spread
testchart, with good spacer contrast and no difficulty reading it.
Printcal was then able to generate suitable curves and successfully
picked reasonable per-channel limits.
What I did, notice, though, was that the testchart contains fewer
patches than I asked for - I generated a CMYK testchart with -f0 -m0
-s100, but got a .ti1 with only 192 patches. I presume patches are
being culled for being too light, as a result of the extreme
power-adjustment?
Oh, quick question, too - is it possible (and if not, consider this a
feature request! ;) to prevent printtarg from "filling up" a
partially-filled column with colorant combination patches? (I might
have asked that before - memory fails right now.)
All the best
