Learn about CMYK curves
The VarioPrint i-series MICR color management and the print engine ensure an optimal color
reproduction on the media you use.
However, when the color reproduction is not according to your expectation or you have special
requirements, you can apply CMYK curves that are stored on PRISMAsync Print Server. You can
also apply CMYK curves that you create in the CMYK curves editor.
CMYK curves presets
With the CMYK curves editor, you can adjust CMYK curves and save these as a CMYK curves
preset for later reuse. These CMYK curves presets are available in the Settings Editor. A CMYK
curves preset can be selected on job level or on media print mode level.
CMYK curves presets
The CMYK curves presets can be:
• Changed
• Deleted
• Attached to a media print mode
• Imported and exported
Exchange CMYK curves between printers
You can import and export CMYK curves presets in the Settings Editor to exchange CMYK curves
presets between printers.
