Output profiles (ICC profiles) determine how the system will print color. PRISMAsync uses default
media families to indicate which output profiles will be applied to a media. (See 

)

When the default output profiles do not achieve your color reproduction standards for specific
media, you can use the embedded color profiler to create new output profiles. The creation of
new output profiles is done via a media family calibration. The embedded color profiler creates
and installs an output profile and calibration curve for every halftone. As part of the procedure,
you measure the calibration charts printed on the specific media.
