How to Use the Baseline Strip

1. Print the strip at 100% scale (disable “Fit to Page”)

2. Allow the print to dry or cure (10–20 minutes recommended)

3. Take phone photos under consistent lighting:

– Best: one photo per patch (phone placed over each pad)

– Or: one photo of the full strip

4. Save these photos as your baseline reference for that printer and media
