Export, import, and restore color configuration

What is color configuration

You can export the color configuration of PRISMA Print Server to store the configuration that reflects a certain printer state or date.

The color configuration ZIP file can be imported on the same printer, for example, when the existing color configuration causes problems.

The color configuration ZIP file can be imported on another printer that has the same PRISMAsync software version. In this way you can apply the color configuration of one printer on multiple printers.

Version of PRISMAsync software

It is also possible to restore the factory defined color configuration. The color configuration of the first installation is restored.

IMPORTANT

Be aware that the export and restore function can remove printer resources, such as profiles, spot color definitions, and media definitions.

NOTE

The color configuration is also part of the backup.

Refer to the operation guide of the printer how to use the media family calibration and validation test reports.
