We strongly encourage Kodak encourages all existing Harmony users to switch to ColorFlow for creating and managing calibration curve creationcurves. There is no current requirement in Prinergy to switch, but because ColorFlow simplifies the creation and application of curves and brings the ability to align print conditions to modern standards like GRACoL or G7, we strongly recommend you start using ColorFlow for all future curve creation. are many advantages to switching to ColorFlow, including a simpler curve-creation UI, the ability to create gray-balanced curves and the ability to make on-the-fly tonal adjustments at the time of output from Prinergy.

While Harmony continues to operate with current releases, Windows operating system or security updates could make it stop working. As Harmony End of Service Life has been announced and development has been discontinued, such a failure will be permanent.

There are a couple of current limitations to keep in mind when migrating from Harmony to ColorFlow. 

You can import existing Harmony curves into ColorFlow, but if you don't intend to edit the existing curves there's no practical value to importing the curve into ColorFlow. For unedited Harmony curves, you can save yourself all the work of importing curves into ColorFlow and update all existing output Process Plans to ColorFlow Curve Source..

  1. Editing of imported Harmony Curves is limited, in that you cannot edit individual points of imported curvesan imported curve in the same manner that you adjust a Harmony Target or Current Curve. But you can use Tonal Adjustment sliders to make overall changes to the curve shape and maintain curve smoothness. ColorFlow also lets you make Gray Balance adjusts to curve, adjusting C, M and Y curves simultaneously to make cast or tonal corrections.

  2. ColorFlow does not yet have the ability to do complete support for "solid cutbackscutback" curves, as are commonly used in gravure imaging and screen printing. A solid cutback is the ability to set a maximum tone for solids, so that all solid areas get screened. If solid cutbacks are a requirement of some of your workflows, you will have to continue to use Harmony.A solid cutback curve in ColorFlow requires a setting in the Prinergy process template to screen the solid to the desired value.

You can select either Harmony or ColorFlow curves for calibration in Prinergy Connect and Evo, so you can migrate curve management from Harmony to ColorFlow as time permits and as you gain familiarity with ColorFlow.

Below are some tools and tips for helping you migrate calibration curve creation and management to ColorFlow:
