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.
A file with a chart intended for G7® calibration, for example the P2P25 or P2P51 calibration chart.
Calibrate the printer.
IMPORTANT
You must always perform a printer calibration before you continue with this procedure.

Measure the calibration chart:
Measure the chart, for example with an X-Rite ™ device.
Calculate the calibration curves with the external tool.
Import the calculated G7® calibration curves to the G7® media family in the Settings Editor.
Open the Settings Editor.
