I guess my question is not a problem at all.
Anyway I used too many hours last night to write a simple
bash/imagemagick script that parse the ti2 file and create an target
either as a 16bit rgb or 16 bit cmyk file. The cmyk version is nice
since that is the only way I can get the target as 16bit cmyk without
going thru a 8bit version.


In some ways it's kind of pointless going through a 16 bit path,
since test patches tend to be relatively widely spaced.

An alternative might be to quantize the device values in the .ti1 file
to 8 bits before printing them through an 8 bit path.
[In fact, I should add an option to targen to do this...].


Anyway with those targets I have the same percent value when I measure
with a pipette as in the ti2 file. If anyone tests this you need a
pretty new imagemagick to create the cmyk files. The script is very
simple so in most cases it must be edited, like when you have a
multipage target.


On my TTBD list is directly creating a raster file using printtarg.
