I'd be really surprised if a width difference of 2 mm is going to make
any difference, given how much margin it has over the length.
Are the Argyll patches really 6.4 mm ? (ie. is the average over
the length of all the patches in the strip ?).
I wonder if there is a small scaling error in the printing,
and it is enough to take the patch below its minimum.

Unlikely, since the aperture must be less than 6 mm if it is to read
the patch cleanly.
Looking at the test chart spec., it is possible to change the DTP20
patch length to some other values, although I haven't currently allowed
for it. I'll see about adding this for the next release.
