The real matter also is that is not easy to make precise and predictable
measurements in those dark areas. Measurements tend to be noisy due to
instrument, to printing process and paper inconsistencies. For a good job,
one would better create a second additional target with many many dark patches,
possibly even duplicating ones, so that colprof can average them, all randomly
spreaded on the chart.

Averaging is one thing.

The HP Z printer models take longer readings of dark patches than of lighter ones.

With the Spectrocam in stripmode mutiple flash readings of longer dark patches was something I experimented with. In that case for QTR B&W profile creation. It was easier to use 4 targets and the averaging of QTR's profile creator.
