Having read the Spyderprint 225 high quality target should produce nice profiles, I decided to make a custom profile based on the Spyderprint 225 patch high quality target:
This profile is based on RGB: 5x5x5=125 steps + extra near neutral patches + some grey patches up to 225 patches. I think the trick of the good results of this target, despite its limited patch count (only 225), is thanks of the large amount of near neutral patches, so the grey axis is much better estimated using a limited amount of patch sampling, resulting in very good profiles despit the limited patch count.
Because the i1Pro2 is superior to the Spyderprint device, I decided to make a similar target for the i1Pro2 for th i1Profiler software using a base 131 patch base target of which the last 6 patches I removed from the file using the patch editor function in i1Profiler:
The last 6 patches has been removed in the patch editor function of i1Profiler and using the Photoshop function to determine the exact RGB-value of the Spyderprint high quality target of the additional colours I added the extra 100 patches of the Spyderprint target to this custom 225 patch i1Profiler target and this is the result of the target:
The whole target can be printed an small 10x15 cm photo card enabling profiling using only a small piece of photo paper, I printed the test target using this limited 225 patch count target and a much larger 918 patch target (based on the TC9.18 printer target) and this is the result:
I can see hardly any difference and the result is identical to me, including the dark shadows (no lost of details).
