PRISMAsync color reproduction
The color management of PRISMAsync controls the reproduction of colors and handles the
conversion of input colors (RGB, CMYK, spot colors) to printed colors on paper. PRISMAsync has
two instruments for easy color management across the entire workflow, 
color presets and media
families, so that the operator does not need to perform color management tasks on a job-by-job
basis.
Color experts can use more color management functions with the advanced color management
license.
Color Presets
The PRISMAsync color presets simplify the complexity of color management. You can select an
appropriate color preset when you prepare a print job with a printer driver or PRISMA software.
An automated workflow or a hotfolder can also link a color preset to a job. The use of color
presets saves time and does not require an in-depth knowledge on color.
[3] The color settings in the printer driver
PRISMAsync includes the following default color presets:
Office documents
This color preset is optimal for color reproduction of text and graphic lines in office documents.
PRISMAsync converts the colors to more saturated colors for the printed output.
Photographic content
This color preset is optimal for the reproduction of photographs, pictures, and images.
Create new color presets in the Settings Editor. (See
