Yes, you'd think that, wouldn't you?? Well, Agfa doesn't. They sell the
cards, but when I called about the data they refused to give it. You only
get those when you buy their scanners or software. Nice bit of customer
service.
I've now done a measurement with the Swatchbook and built some profiles.
It seems to work, but not optimum. In ICC Scan the patches that appear
after building a profile (that indicate the accuracy) were a lot off.
The resulting profile still yields better scans than the unprofiled
scanner however, except that an overall yellow cast now appears.
I sent the card off to a colleague today, he'll measure them with a
Spectrolino which is hopefully better suited to those small patches.
