Note: the price listed in the instructions is incorrect because I reduced my prices after the current instructions were published. The correct prices are listed on Paypal Payment and Terms of Sale.

The profiling packages are software and version specific. Download the profiling package for the software you use. Each profiling package contains the following seven items:

  1. Software Title and Version PDF: Detailed software specific instructions for printing the target, installing, evaluating, and printing with a profile as well as workflow trouble shooting and what to do if you are not satisfied with your profile.
  2. Printer Driver Settings PDF: detailed printer driver settings instructions for stabilizing and optimizing your printer's operation and how to select a Media Type when printing on paper that is not listed in the printer driver.
  3. Basic Color Management PDF: Explains how and why color management works in plain English without going too deeply into the underlying science.
  4. Order Form PDF
  5. Order Form Instructions PDF
  6. Shipping Label PDF
  7. 4 Folders containing the Target Files.

The target is available in 4 sizes:

  • 8.5"x11" has 2 pages
  • 8"x10" has 3 pages
  • 5"x7" has 7 pages
  • 4"x6" has 10 pages
You only need to print one size target but you must print all the pages of the target you print. All 4 target sizes contain the exact same 1728 randomized patches. The 8.5"x11" uses the least ink and paper. If your printer is capable of printing on 8.5"x11" paper print the 8.5"x11" target. If you receive a message saying the file will be clipped, but none of the colored patches will be clipped then go ahead and print. I can use a target without the white borders and text but the all of the colored patches must be printed exactly the same size with no clipping.
  • The Profiling Package is a zip file.  Save the zip file to a known location on your computer.
  • Expand/extract the zip file before trying to open any of the files.
  • Please read the instructions before opening the target files.
  • The global color management settings must be properly set before the target files are opened.
The instructions are all PDF files and must be read in the Adobe Acrobat Reader. If you receive an error message when opening the instructions files there are a couple possible causes:
  • The zip file has not been expanded.  The files cannot be opened until the zip file has been expanded/extracted.  If the zip file does not automatically expand when it is double-clicked; try right-clicking then choose Extract or Expand from the Menu
  • You may need to update Adobe Acrobat Reader to the latest version.  If you have trouble updating your copy of Adobe acrobat Reader to the latest version you may need to uninstall the old version. Then download and install the new latest version of Adobe Acrobat as a new program
  • Mac users: Mac Viewer will not open these PFD files; you must use Adobe Acrobat Reader.
  • If you do not have a utility for expanding zip files or Adobe Acrobat Reader there are links at the bottom of this page to sites where you can download a free copy.
