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.
Print Prism doesn’t depend on IT8 or factory-printed reference charts. The calibration data for supported scanners is built in, so you can start profiling as soon as you install the software.
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.
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.
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.
