So that's measuring a bunch of patches and taking the average ?

Somtimes printers don't quite print at the resolution that say they do.
What's of interest is what margin the DTP20 has. The test chart document
doesn't mention this, it just talks about exact sizes. The hint from
your experience is that the DTP20 tolerates a slightly too long patch
more than a slightly too short patch. I have no idea what the limits
are though, since my experience was that it would not read a TID
strip with patches at 6.5 mm for instance, they had to be exactly 6mm.

It's at the stage of needing to fiddle the values and re-compile.
