Media for your output

Media catalog for media selection

PRISMAsync controls the media definition centrally with the media catalogue. The controller's

media-based workflow PRISMAsync results in less mistakes.

PRISMAsync operating concept

When you prepare a job, you can select media from the media catalog. The media catalog stores

attributes for all media that are key to the print quality, such as size, weight, media type, color,

media family and surface. (See

Settings Editor media attributes

on page 294)

A media family is a group of media that has the same specifications and uses the same color

output profile. (See

Color reproduction for your output

on page 26)

After the job submission, use the schedule to see which media the job requires and when to

assign these media to paper trays.

Temporary media

During the job preparation you can also temporarily specify media for a job. Temporary media

are not part of the media catalog. When the job is printed on temporary media, you can find these

temporary media in the media section of the System view on the control panel. When you want

to use these media more often, you can add the temporary media to the media catalog. In the

Settings Editor you can define the attributes for these new media.

The temporary media remains available in the System view as long as there are jobs in the queue

that use these temporary media, or these temporary media are assigned to a paper tray.

Media and image quality

Media has a big influence on the image quality and the productivity of a print system. The

performance of a print system, the print quality and the consumption of consumables depend on

media factors, such as:

• Media type

• Media weight

• Surface

• Moisture content

• Smoothness

To ensure optimal output quality and performance, media must comply with the paper

specifications of your print system. Store the media in a dry environment away from direct

sunlight. Before you load the media into the paper trays, it is important to check the media

sheets.
