Create G7 calibration curves with an external tool

PRISMAsync supports the use of calibration curves created by an external tool, for example CHROMiX Curve3 ™. PRISMAsync uses media families to indicate which output profiles and calibration curves must be applied to a media. Hence, the creation of a new media family with the factory default G7 output profiles is part of this procedure. PRISMAsync has regular media families and G7 media families.

Tools

A file with a chart intended for G7 calibration, for example the P2P25 or P2P51 calibration chart.

Procedure

  1. Calibrate the printer. (Calibrate the printer)
    IMPORTANT

    You must always perform a printer calibration before you continue with this procedure.

  2. Create a G7 media family in the Settings Editor:
    1. Open the Settings Editor.
    2. Create a new G7 media family. (Configure the media families)
    3. Create a new media for the G7 media family. (Configure the media)
  3. Print the G7 measurement chart via an automated workflow:
    1. Create a new automated workflow. (Configure automated workflows)
    2. Select the media on which the measurement chart will be printed.
    3. At [Printing of measurement charts] select [G7® calibration] to print without colour management.
    4. Print the G7 measurement chart via the G7 automated workflow.
  4. Measure the calibration chart:
    1. Measure the chart, for example with an X-Rite ™ device.
    2. Calculate the calibration curves with the external tool.
  5. Import the calculated G7 calibration curves to the G7 media family in the Settings Editor.
    1. Open the Settings Editor.
    2. Open the new G7 media family.
    3. Touch [Import G7® calibration curve].

What to do next

You can only disable G7 support in the Settings Editor when all G7 media families are removed.
