RasterLink Pro4
For an even more precise color, a new generation RIP has been developed.
RasterLink Pro4 meets the highest professional standards.
Rasterlink Pro4 is provided for free when purchasing a Mimaki Printer.
Smooth gradation with 16 bit rendering
16 bit rendering generates smoother gradations resulting in the finest quality for outstanding prints and maximizes the output potential of all your Mimaki JV series inkjet printers.
Continuous Print & Cut
This new function is only available for the Mimaki CJV30 Series.
Cut and print data created in Illustrator and FineCut 7.5 can be combined so both the print & cut processing can be done from within RasterLink Pro4.
The cut settings are easily customised from the “cut setting” submenu of RIP.
- Drying time after printing
Delay of start cutting time after print can be set.
- Heat temperature after printing
Pre/print/post-heater can be turned off during cutting. Cutting speed and pressure can be set in cut condition. In addition, offset value is also settable here.
White layer printing
Mimaki's original white-layer printing helps to create more vivid images on transparent materials. This is made possible by printing a white layer either under or over the CMYK layers.
- The white layer can be printed either under or over other layers.
- The white layer area can be customized to suit the job design.
- The white and color layers are printed simultaneously for more precise layer registration.
Set more than one virtual printer
You can make more than one PS printer (virtual printer) on which different printing conditions and editing conditions are set.
When making a print from Illustrator, if you select necessary PS printers, the already set printing conditions and editing conditions are set as initial setting.
Further, multiple number of hot folders in which printing conditions and editing conditions are set and the corresponding files can be stored.
Even for beginners the operation is easy
On the job list, thumbnail index is displayed and you can quickly recognize the required job.As the set conditions can be checked sensuously on the preview window, you can perform the work smoothly even if you operate for the first time.
- Job list preview/display of thumbnail images is easy to understand.
- You can check the layout view, rotation, scaling up/down, mirror view and also the arrangement of multiple one jobs.
Colour Replacement Function
A function to change a special colour of the data with an ink colour designated by the user. For example, when you designate "white", if you designate spot color with the Illustrator, then the designated color can be changed to white.
Smart Profile settings
Mounted with unique profile enabling you to establish the best printing conditions without making detailed setting.
Only by selecting a profile corresponding to the media, the optimum temperature of the intelligent heater or feed correction will be set, and vivid expressions in primary colors and sharp color prints much desired for sign graphics can be made.
Needless to say, custom setting according to the request is also possible.
Versatile editing functions
- Tiling
• Head and tail reversion of neighboring tiles
The color difference at the time of printing between left and right edges can be controlled to the minimum.
• Cut-line printing
This is a convenient function to print the cutting line on the outside frame of the tiles.
• Optional arrangement of tiles
You may arrange it at the center of the media or at any other place you desire.
- CMYK holding
At the time of color-matching, CMYK data of primary colors will be printed without reflecting the color-matching to prevent color haze of the color.
- Copying and nesting
This is a function to print the same image more than once. The margins as well as the direction of copying may be set.
- Automatic execution - New function
When automatic execution is set in RasterLink Pro4 SG
Jobs sent from the client application to RasterLink Pro4 will start printing automatically. Therefore, manual operation in RasterLink Pro4 SG is not required.
- Indication of progress status
Processing status of RIP, the elapsed time and estimated time to complete the works will be displayed.
- Color adjustment
Color adjustment of bit-mapped data and vectorial data can be performed independently.
- Trimming
You may print a part of the image. You may decide the scale of the trimming, revolution, mirror, or moving which is convenient when you need color samples.
- Paneling
The same image is printed without space. As it is also possible to move the image as you like, it is suitable for wallpaper etc. printing.
- Print Information Label
Print information such as print mode and edit conditions will be printed at the top of a job when printing. This function conveniently confirms print conditions on print samples.
- Stand-alone operation
Since this equipment can work as stand-alone, initial setting as well as installation is expected to become simpler.
