These are great, even for manually-adjusted color workflows.

Fun fact, though: You have to replace them every couple of years (or sooner) because no pigment/dye is stable, especially if exposed to bright light.

Having a test shot with one of these in it saves you untold amounts of pain later.

Many of them, especially the smaller hard-case versions, have a space to write date of first-use.
