Hi,
With my linearization experiments, I've found one problem with Argyll's
targen and printtarg utilities.
Because the targets I'm generating here are for linearization, they
contain *only* single channel steps (targen -f0 -m0 -snn) and the ink
limit at this early stage is set for an expected maximum 100% coverage.
The problem is this: If when generating the actual printable target the
number of patches doesn't perfectly divide into the number of columns on
the page, Argyll makes up the number of patches with a few combination
patches, causing paper saturation. Is there any chance of a switch to
either turn this off, or make it use extra white patches instead?
Alternatively - or perhaps a better solution, since it would have other
uses - is there any chance of a way of querying printtarg to ask it how
many patches will fit on a sheet of a specified size, targetting a
specified instrument? With that information I could simply request
extra white patches so there are none spare for Argyll to fill in, and
sidestep my issue altogether.
It would also allow me to choose a sensible default number of patches in
my linearization tool.
All the best,
