Ink separation file for Colormunki

Ink separation file for Colormunki

2013-08-12 by janbecket

Iʻve started making my own QTR profiles for a Eboni 6 inkset, with fair success so far (knock on wood). The Colormunki I purchased to make the profiles reads nicely in the scan / strip mode on the 21-step Colormunki wedge. However, the fly in the ointment is the RGB ink separation file, in my case the 8-ink version. 

The Colormunki seems to be more accurate in its scan mode, but the tiny patches on the ink separation file make the spot mode necessary. Iʻve found that the Colormunki is hard to place with the precision required for such a small area, and I need to make multiple measurements to get something dependable.

Life would be easier with a ink separation file with patches made for the CM to strip scan, like the CM random 21-step wedge. Does such a file exist?
