It's 8x11, approx A size, good enough for my small 'studio'.

In the eBay blurb, I failed to notice the words "High-resolution screen print". I'm now wondering if the chart is any use at all. The small stuff just doesn't look sharp, somehow, even to my less-than-perfect eyes and certainly less so under a jeweler's loupe.

Am I expecting too much? Would you use it?

I wasn't able to find this particular product here: http://www.dgkcolortools.com

comments invited, thank you!
