Print Prism Printer Profiling Software
Shopping for a handheld spectrophotometer?
You don't need one!
Turn your scanner into a printer profiling workhorse!
Print Prism builds high-quality ICC printer profiles using just a supported flatbed scanner. No IT8 reference target to buy, no handheld device to slide across rows of patches.
Print once, scan once, and let Print Prism read 9,261 color patches in a single pass.

Nothing extra to buy or wait for
Print Prism doesn’t rely on IT8 reference charts that only make prints look good to your scanner and leave real prints with metameric color shifts. Built-in spectral data for supported scanners keeps colors accurate to your eyes, so you can start profiling as soon as you install.
Profile the gear you already own
As long as your target is scanned on a supported device, you can create profiles for any inkjet photo printer and paper combination—OEM or third-party.
- One scanner, unlimited printers.
- Mix and match papers and inks freely.
Pre-characterized scanner response
Print Prism uses proprietary spectral response data for each supported scanner model, effectively turning it into a makeshift measurement device for reading color patches— without the cost and hassle of a handheld spectrophotometer.
From scan to finished profile in minutes.
The workflow is straightforward: print the included target with color management disabled, scan it on a supported scanner, verify the corners, and click Create Profile.
Print Prism analyzes exposure, clipping, and gamut coverage, then builds an ICC profile ready for Qimage, Photoshop, Lightroom, or any other color-managed application.
