Hi Graeme, Many thanks for speedy reply. This was one I tried targen -v -d4 -l260 -f1500 PrinterB CMYK test chart Full spread patches = 836 Adaptation weights: Device = 0.935, Perceptual = 0.065Perceptual cache resolution = 7 Acceleration grid res = 6 There are 1 unique fixed points to add (4 non-unique) There are 832 far spread points to add Added 833/833 After seeding points: MinPoint = 17.616, Min = 9.994, Avg. = 17.422, Max = 21.452, 3.2 secs Re-seeding It 1: Maxmv = 0.094218, MinPoint = 12.687, Min = 10.542, Avg. = 17.561, Max = 21.727, 3.5 secs. Re-seeding It 2: Maxmv = 0.087932, MinPoint = 12.367, Min = 6.225, Avg. = 17.483, Max = 21.925, 4.5 secs. Re-seeding It 3: Maxmv = 0.081424, MinPoint = 13.350, Min = 10.884, Avg. = 17.395, Max = 21.075, 3.9 secs. Re-seeding It 4: Maxmv = 0.046776, MinPoint = 14.849, Min = 10.764, Avg. = 17.328, Max = 20.765, 3.9 secs. Re-seeding It 5: Maxmv = 0.023264, MinPoint = 15.553, Min = 10.879, Avg. = 17.291, Max = 20.628, 3.9 secs. Re-seeding It 6: Maxmv = 0.001864, MinPoint = 15.575, Min = 10.886, Avg. = 17.287, Max = 20.574, 3.9 secs. After optimization: MinPoint = 15.575, Min = 10.886, Avg. = 17.287, Max = 20.574 Total number of patches = 836 Execution time = 26.810000 seconds Thanks for -r info, that works a treat!
