[argyllcms] Re: use entire sheet for print targets

I'm playing around with argyll to create a profile for a Canon Selphy currently - a 4x6" photo printer. This thing can make borderless prints so I wanted to fully use the (quite expensive!) paper - which shouldn't be problem with the i1 (that doesn't really need extra margins). 

What I do is
#printtarg -v -ii1 -p 100x148 -m 0 canon_selphy_blabla
The "-m 0" reduces the unnecessary borders at least on the right side visibly - but there's still only a few rows and columns on the paper - mostly because there's so much white around the patches - especially on the left. Can one reduce this to - let's say "zero"? 

The margin on the left is to allow for the clip on the chart holder
that comes with the i1. There's no command line way of changing this,
as it's hard coded (although it's easy enough to add an option to suppress
it - the next release will have this.)

If you want to pack the most test patches in, then the best way
would be to use a spectrolino, or to read the patches manually
with the eye-one and use a spectrolino layout, ie:

printtarg -v -iss -p 100x148 -m 0 canon_selphy_blabla

or if you are feeling accurate with your instrument positioning
you could even shrink the squares a little using -a.

Use chartread -p to read it manually with the i1.
