Targen gives recommendations for the number of patches dependent on the
paper size and includes a multiplier. Can I assume that the
4 x Letter recommendation would be a appropriate for a profile to use
when making 16 x 20 prints? Do I then use 16 x 20 (actually 17 x 22)
sheets to make the profile? I am using an Eye-One_Pro which allows me
to scan strips. I don't remember how it worked, but I don't want to use
any more paper than I have to.
How much do I lose by using a profile made with letter size paper with
large prints?
