I'm just curious, does everybody consider the ECI2002 target the BEST choice

(sheetfed offset running linear CtP) with the TC3.5 chart and seem to get
great results with it. Amy I missing something?


If you can get great results from the smaller TC3.5 target, I'd say it falls into the category of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it."

Where standard targets like the IT8 and the ECI2002 target really come in handy is for

1.) making profiles from standardized press data published by people like SWOP and FOGRA

2.) comparing profiling tools by building profiles from the same sets of measurements

I think the ECI2002 target is a significant improvement over the IT8, but I too have obtained excellent results over the years with the TC3.5 chart. If the device is very non-linear with very bad gray balance, I'd go with the bigger target, but otherwise I'd only use it for one of the reasons listed above.
