I'm not sure what you are trying to do. How are you reading the targets? It
looks as though you have an i1 Pro. I do as well and have printed out targets
many times for profile creation. I do all my reading manually using the
plastic scanning table that came with the instrument. There has to be white
space on both sides of the printed target. I use the exact same 'printtarg'
command that you do other than the 'T' command as I have a Canon printer. I
get margins that work perfectly on Letter size paper. I do not use the 'm' or
'M' commands. I just did a quick test with your command line and I get exactly
the same size targets as when I do them (with no 'm' and 'M').
Each row should have 21 patches.

Subject: [argyllcms] printtarg and excessive margins
Hi,
Trying to print my first printer target, this is proving quite difficult as
printtarg creates a tif with large blank margins, so it does not fit into the
Letter paper size I specified, event if I set -m0 -M0. At best it creates a tif
with exactly 8,5 x 11 inches, which would require borderless printing, an
unnecessary complication. The command I used:
printtarg -v -ii1 -R1 -T360 -pLetter -m0 -M0 pre_canson_rag_photo_310_p800_tp
The only solution I've found is to use "Image / Crop to content" in gimp, and
then center the image for printing.
Is this a but or did I not understand how to set paper size?
Thanks!
