How to order a cheap calibration image?! ---------------------------------------- You do need a calibration target for using the free ICS software in order to color calibrate your scanner. Calibration targets according to the IT 8.7 (ISO 12641) standard are recommended for their quality. These targets cost roughly $45 plus shipping depending on the manufacturer and dealer. For most Amiga users, this seems to be too expensive or too hard to get. Some users use low quality calibration images from Corel or Epson shipped with their scanner. Several users did report having problems finding an IT 8.7 dealer despite the dealers listed in the ICS manual. In order to solve the problem, I am proud to offer a very cheap but good calibration target including: - 5x7in calibration image (now on Kodak Professional paper) - protection foil for the image - Amiga or MS DOS floppy disk with IT 8.7 compatible reference file containing the color measurements of the image. DON'T FORGET TO MENTION THE WANTED DISK FORMAT (Amiga or PC). (you can always download the reference file from the web site mentioned below) Note: You can also use the target with IT 8.7 compatible PC/Mac scanner software like CorelDraw, ColorTune, ScanOpen and others. So you can use this offer even without using Amiga/ICS at all (don't forget to request an MS DOS floppy disk in this case). Prices incl. shipping: Shipped inside Germany: DM 20 Shipped outside Germany: DM 25 or US$15 Because shipping costs are rather high, there are much cheaper special prices for ordering more than one target. Especialy dealers or authors of scanner software willing to distribute targets/ICS are welcome. For more info contact me by email. All orders have to be prepaid by cash. Payment by check, COD or other methods is only supported for large orders or other "special" cases. Please pay the exact amount asked as I usualy can't give change. No checks are accepted (I have to wait up to 1 hour and pay $15 extra for cashing international checks - so please keep things simple and pay cash)!!!!. Usualy I try to shipp within a 1-2 days after receiving your order. But please allow up to 6 weeks in case of vacation or other "troubles". I hope to also start offering cheap IT~8.7/1 film transmissive targets sometime in 2001. Check the website listed below for the latest offers.
