ArgyllCMS: reading an i1Pro chart with ColorMunki

It is very simple and fast to read a test chart.

This chart was made for i1Pro spectro, and it has smaller patches that the one used for the ColorMunki spectro.

Commad used to generate the test chart:
printtarg -v -i i1 -t360 -p310x450 fileName

The dimensions (-p parameter) are in mm, and have been choosed to fit an A3+ sheet of paper on an Epson 7900 printer.

Using the i1Pro layout you can have 1116 patches on this area, using the ColorMunki (-iCM with -h parameter) you can have only 525patches.

To read without any problems the patches you simply have to use a ruler like the one in the video and put it 2 strips far from the one that you have to read. For example: if you want to read stripe CA you will have to put the ruler on stripe CC (you want to read CC on paper, so the ruler is actually exactlly between CC and CD).

Let me know if you have any problems or if you need suggestions.
