BTW, I found that issue reported in your own imagingrevue site.
OK, you convinced me (I'm easy).
Still, just wondering, does the ICColor striclty read gapless targets? Or
does it have some mode, like when reading targets in strip mode with the i1,
where you can read targets with and without gaps? I'd really love to be able
to read all my DTP41 printed target which have gaps by design.
Thank's,
