Steve ShafferIf you can't tell from the only blog post over at OneFuckingShirt, you might notice the excessaive use of the word "fuck." This is important to the brand and image of One Fucking Shirt, I think anyhow, I'm new to this. So most of these log entries will involve quite a lot of "fucking."
Anyhow, below you'll see the brilliant idea from user @iamnotachoice, to do a test print with a test pattern! This is simple, google images is full of them. however, if I want to sell these shirts I need to design my own or at least find one that is free to use. Below are a few examples.I'm not sure which to go with, I want to make sure it tests B&W, colors, gradients, sharp lines, transparent dithered edges, and some more I'm probably forgetting. Any further ideas? Maybe I could mash a color test pattern with Lenna, for the sake of staying old school cool.

It probably does not matter so much if you go for a discrete color palette or a gradient. I think a palette is easier for getting everything dialed in quickly, if you use a software to generate gradients you really have to make sure to know what kind of gradients you have (linear, log, etc.). Maybe something like second row 4th from left or last row 4th from left. It should be CMYK based with evenly spaced shades and color graduations. For measuring detail reproduction, maybe add one siemens star for each print color (CMYK) in the corners. Maybe Processing can be tweaked to output CMYK based pdf files, for extracting the correction curves and also for simulating the printing result.
