To anyone,

 

Just wondering about the "magic numbers" suggested for utilizing targen.
For a 4 page set of targets there is such a wide variation in the number of
patches depending on the device.  A SpectroScan will have over five and a
half times as many patches as the Colormunki with the -h switch.  Quality
differences between these devices not withstanding, will the Colormunki
profile be substantially inferior?  Would I have to print 22 pages of
patches to approximate the quality of the Spectroscan?

I realize the magic numbers are a compromise between quality and paper
usage.would just like someone's opinion on this as I have a Colormunki Photo
and a DTP20 (Pulse).
