If your Artisan Display is older it may take a very long time to calibrate the first time you use this patch (as long as 45 min.) Successive calibrations to the same colorspace should go much quicker. If you lose your Artisan plist or reinstall the software you will have to go through the long calibration again.

3) Select “Show Package Contents” from the contextual menu.
