Hi Lars-Daniel,
It depends what you intend to use the targets for. If you want to use them for
capturing natural scenes then I would strongly recommend that you study the
ColorChecker 24 patch chart because the "sky", "skin" and "foliage" patches
have spectra that closely mimic natural sky, skin and foliage, among others. So
you might have success with "pigmented" inks but they might not yield good
representation for natural objects.

Subject: [argyllcms] DIY color target for photographers
Hi there,
last week I've met a service provider, who can print on plastic in high quality
using pigmented inks. He also can protect the surface agains scratches and UV
radiation.
Wouldn't that be a nice solution for a DIY color target for photographers? The
production of 50 targets would cost around USD $470, which would be less than
$10 for each target.
He told me, there is only a small chromatic aberration in a charge - so there
wouldn't be a need to measure each target.
Although I am very satisfied with my ColorChecker Classic, I'd like to have an
alternative target (I'm always afraid of scratches and it only has a lifetime
of 2 years...).
Does anyone have an idea for a target pattern? Skin colors, white and gray
balance etc? I think, there is need for PANTONE.
Should I ask him for PANTONE support?
Best regards,
Lars-Daniel
