Customer Review: White balance with black and white point on a budget
Summary: 5 Stars
I have used QP Cards for a few years now and am very happy with them. They are small, light, and disposable. The patches are small, but large enough for obtaining an in-camera white balance, just get close enough to fill the inner part of the frame. The newer version has near black and near white instead of pure black and pure white, but middle gray is the same. They have the Lab color values for each patch printed on the back side. This is useful for adjusting black and white point during raw processing or afterwards during post processing. They fit in a camera bag nicely, so you never have a reason not to have one on hand. I keep one card in each of my bags. You get three cards in the package, so when one gets spoiled you simply grab the next one out of the pouch. I have tested an in-camera white balance using the QP Card and got a perfect white balance with it.
I gave one of these to a friend and taught him how to do a custom white balance. Since then I have heard from his daughter about how his photos have improved since using that "thingy" I gave him.
Keep in perspective what you are buying with these and you will not be disappointed. The card is small and thin, so don't get it wet and don't get it dirty, but if you do, just move on to the next card. If you need a large, heavy duty white balance card for the studio, this is not for you. If you need something to throw in the camera bag to always have on hand, I have not found a better product at this price point that will do the job with this kind of precision.

Description of Adorama QpCard 101, 3 Cards with Black / Gray / White Colors used for the White Balance System of Digital Cameras.
QP Card 101... The easiest, most cost-effective aid for balancing digital images. Even with correctly set and calibrated computers, software and monitors, you must balance a digital image against the monitor. A guaranteed neutral grey surface in the image simplifies balancing. It is complicated to carry around a cumbersome grey card and position it at a suitable place in the subject. In addition, the grey card becomes thumbed, dirty and faded from the light, so that after a while it is no longer neutral grey. QPcard solves these problems. QPcard is small, lightweight and inexpensive. The size of the card is 142mm x 40mm (About 5 1/2" x 1 1/2"). The Qpcard 101 is a strip of paper with white, gray and black colors. The pad of QPcards comes in a protective resealable foil bag that fits easily into a camera case or pocket. The cards have adhesive on the back so that they can be attached to virtually any surface. The grey surface is completely neutral and reflects 18% light. A white and black patch can be used for contrast adjustment. In addition, the card can be used as a dimensional reference. The paper is used to get a 'gray scale reading for reference when color balancing your monitor using photoshop. Qpcard is also a self-adhesive multi-function reference card for digital images shot by digital cameras or scanned from negatives or slides.Accessories
