Comments about QP Card QP101 Calibration Card (Pack of 3 Cards):
Took a trip up to B&H to get some white balance cards, these were my first choice after seeing them online. I thought they were bigger but was very disappointed when I got home. These cards will most likely be returned due to size, to give an example there pretty much the size of paint sample cards.

Having a printed target with accurate lab values helps establish a gray balanced result on a calibrated flat bed scanner. When used with an IT8, you've got a solid process control setup.

I photograph artwork and getting the color right is the name of the game. There are lots of strategies using Photoshop, but the first step is to always include a calibration card in the photo. Then, setting the white, black and grey is "curves" is easy. I've used these cards for years, or is that decades.

Not sure about the stickiness part but otherwize it's good.
You get 3 paper cards in a ziplock bag. I wish they didn't have a sticker on the back because it makes it harder to fold them. But overall it's all you need from a wb card. You can also fit a small credit-card sized Xrite color chart into the QP ziplock bag in case you need one.
It's usually too small to fill a frame for auto white balance preset (depending on lenses) if you're into those things. So you would normally need to correct WB in your RAW processor or if worse comes to worst in your image editing software.
But hey - you get 3 white balance cards with 3 greyscale values on each for the price of... less than one. I don't have a way to measure spectral neutrality (which is the main reason why you'd prefer this card to a regular 18% grey card) but it seems to work fine for me.

My mt24-ex flash's light is a little on the yellow side. Using a curve profile generated from a shot of the QP Card made with the flash, the nuetral colors are now really nuetral. I just wish the cards were a little larger and made from sturdier material. The flimsy material kept it from getting 5 stars.
