...which is why my version is home made ... you mark it out  on your  
ordinary printed target.  I have found the 225 target on 8.5x11 paper  
quite satisfactory for all of my needs. I have no idea what margins,  
if any, I use... I just do the same thing every time.   And if I want  
a different number and/or size for more than one or two papers or  
inks, 30 minutes isn't much time to spend to save a crick in the neck.

Constructing your own special-purpose "jigs" is a time-honoured  
technique for wood workers. There is no need to implicitly insult  
people who do this for a photometer rather than a table saw.  Valuable  
and commercially viable are not the same.
