I have an HP Z3100 which I'm really happy with on the papers I currently use and have profiles for.
But I want to try out some new/different custom (non HP) papers for displaying my work. The trouble is that to calibrate and create a new ICC profile for a paper type, the z3100 needs at least 2 sample sheets and one of them has to be A3 size or greater
All sample packs which I can find are 8.5x11 (which makes sense) so how am I expected to accurately evaluate a range of papers without paying hundreds of $ getting full boxes of A3 sheets?
or am I missing something?
