No deal, TweakIT is Mac only for the forseeable future.

dark and magenta is indeed a VERY starnge result. Never came across that
one before.

Ah!! the HP scanjet - some folk finding that it produces dark and red
prints!!. It appears that with this scanner the default setings are 125%
for Contrast and Brightness. You should leave that as it is. Also the
gamma options are (so I've been told) screen, gamma 1.8, gamma 2.2 and
none. Apparently (and therefore worth a try) the best gamma setting is
screen, for why I don't know.


I have noticed that the printed targets seem to be dark with too much
magenta. Is it possible that the program can not calculate a good
profile
because the printed target is too far out of range?

The target should not print dark and magenta. The top half will be
darkish, and may be a slight green bias. The bottom should be just off
gold.
