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.

    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.

    3. Create a new media for the G7 media family.

  3. Print the G7 measurement chart via an automated workflow:

    1. Create a new automated workflow.

    2. Select the media on which the measurement chart will be printed.

    3. At [Printing of measurement charts] select [G7® calibration] to print without color 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 CMYK curves] to import the calibration curves.

After you finish

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