Just a bit of an update / addendum.

You  can  get  a  920-patch-per-page  chart  to  work  just  fine.
Generate  the patch  set as  usual. In ColorPort,  use 8  mm patch
width and height, Legal  paper, landscape orientation, and margins
as follows:

    -4
0.5    0.5
    -4

Yes, that's negative margins for top and bottom.

In Photoshop (etc.),  crop the TIFF file to just  the patches, and
use nearest-neighbor scaling to disproportionally resize the image
to  10.875"  x 8.375". Print  it  with  your printer's  borderless
option and  no scaling. When you scan  it, be sure to  use some of
the same stock behind the chart. Oh--and smooth and steady is more
important than  speed. Too slow and  jerky is  just as bad  as too
fast.

Argyll's default setting for the -r option to profile might not be
ideal for the Eye-One, but I haven't experimented with that yet.

Cheers,
