(Get the code!)
Maybe I was too cryptic in my previous writing. Sorry about that.
I own, pretty old, printing presses where you must take care of almost everything. There are no built-in densitometers and such. Operator usually needs to measure saturation/tint of colors on sheet. It can be a bit tricky to get colors correctly that way, as you can imagine. Having only one stripe of 10 tints of a color is usually sufficient for quality works - you are never sure if the correct amount of color have been transfered to paper.
Most of the time I do prepress work and have to setup everything the easiest way possible (for my operators). Placing color bars parallel to wider paper size in specific manner, that is. It's something I've tried to explain in my previous comment. Not successfully, I'm afraid. :)
I haven't invented this "workaround". Therefore, I've thought it's common. Maybe I'm wrong...
Thank you for your comment,
Vladimir
