Subject: [Leica] Digital test print

My usual way of obtaining prints is to scan my Leica negs on a Nikon LS IV, 
both black and white or colour, and then put the files onto a CD or ZIP 
disk and drop them off at my local photolab. Previously this has worked 
well because getting the prints on photo paper has given better results 
than I can obtain with my Epsom Stylus Photo 790.
However the last lot of prints were all very slightly out of focus. I did 
not notice this until I got home and compared the prints with previous 
results. What I would like to do is include on each ZIP or CD a digital 
test image (jpeg) so that I can immediately tell if the colours and 
definition are correct. Sort of like a coulour chart and image resolution 
chart in one. Does anyone have a file like this that they use themselves 
and are happy to share?
Can anyone think of a better method to easily identify if a batch of prints 
are correctly focused and without colour casts?
