  1. Create curves for plate output using either the ColorFlow or Harmony software. Kodak recommended use ColorFlow to create curves or migrate Harmony curves to ColorFlow Curves.  
    • See the Prinergy Evo Installation Guide for information about installing Harmony software and the Harmony User Guide for information about creating calibration curves with Harmony software.
    • See the ColorFlow documentation for information about creating curves with ColorFlow software.
  2. Create an Output process template.
  3. In the Calibration & Screening section, make one of these choices:
To apply any ColorFlow curves, clear the ColorFlow Color Relationship Management pane in the output process template. 

Curve Source

    • If ColorFlow CRM is not enabled in the process template, select one of the following options:

      • ColorFlow Approved Snapshot—allows you to select any curve from the Print Curve or Plate Curve lists that are contained in the ColorFlow Approved Snapshot.

      • ColorFlow Current State—allows you to select any curve from the Print Curve or Plate Curve lists that are contained in the Current State of the ColorFlow database. When either of the ColorFlow options is selected, the HarmonyMedium option has no effect. The Minimum Dot Size option is not generally necessary for ColorFlow curves, as ColorFlow allows explicit definition of bump or cutoff curves for flexographic printing; however, this option still takes effect for ColorFlow curves if its value is greater than zero.

      • Harmony—allows you to select any curve from the Print Curve or Plate Curve lists that are contained in the Harmony database.


    • If ColorFlow CRM is enabled in the process template, then all Calibration options are unavailable, and curves are selected according to settings in the ColorFlow CRM panel.
      The disabled Curve Source control indicates the curve source selected by CRM as follows:
      • If the ColorFlow Approved Snapshot or ColorFlow Current State option is selected, curves are provided from the corresponding snapshot.
      • If none of the options are selected, curves are provided from a numbered snapshot selected in the ColorFlow CRM panel.
      • Curves are selected according to screening-related parameters within the process template, such as: color setup, device, device condition, and so on.
      • Except for Minimum Dot Size, all curve controls in the Calibration and Screening panel are disabled.
      • The Minimum Dot Size control is active and takes effect for the curves selected by ColorFlow Color Relationship Management (CRM).
To select a Harmony curve, clear the ColorFlow Color Relationship Management pane check box and configure your desired Harmony settings in the Calibration and Screening panel.
  • The available Harmony curves and %%NONE%% are listed for selection in the Plate Curve and Print Curve menus.
     Prinergy Evo reads the list of calibration curves from the Harmony database installed on the Prinergy Evo server computer.
  • The Harmony Medium and Minimum Dot Size controls are active unless you have selected %%NONE%% for both Plate Curves and Print Curves, in which case the Minimum Dot Size value is zero and the control is inactive.
  • Harmony curve settings are applied to the job per current behavior.
  • No labels
