    Precision Roller has them for $1.00 apiece.
    Same for Katun.
    Why do they call it common sense?

    If it were common, wouldn't everyone have it?

    One thing that I should point out to those of you that have not been doing this for very long, is that a really sharp test chart can show very tiny visual defects that might otherwise go unnoticed. If all the end user makes is text copies, then use text to test and not something that has pictures or large black solids, or you may have to invest a lot of time fixing something that did not need to be fixed. I learn everything the hard way.

    I've got several test charts among my many many files. I'll gather them up and post them in a FREE area on one of my sites.

    I think that if you've been doing this for a little while, you can find pretty much anything to use as a test if you know what to look for. No need to spend a whole lotta $$$ for something to show the customer that's just gonna make them scratch their collective heads & look for something wrong.

    I will add that if all the user is doing is text, then your salesman over sold the customer! And any good color tech worth his yearly salary will cover his ass and make sure that his color box will perform at the highest standards no matter what the customer is copying or printing. And show that it will perform at these standards at every service call!

    Maybe that's just me though...
