Multiple printers (1)
• Able to connect up to four printers and print at the same time
• Not able to create preview, and multiple RIP processing at the same time.
• 1394 PCI card is needed as same number as printer• In order to the computer specification, or print condition, processing may
delay for the printing.
Multiple printers (2)
• To select a printer, print on the application printer, or just copy the data to hot folder.

Multiple Printer Detail: Additional Printer Support
All the Mimaki printers are supported.
(1) UJF-605C and UJF-605R– Able to use the same function as RasterLinkUJ.
Visualized operation is available for color
replacement. (based on RasterLinkProII)
(2) GP-604(D), DM1810(D), DM2, DM3 and GP-604S– No change from RasterLinkGP on function and operation.
(3) Tx2 and Tx3– Able to use RasterLinkProII standard functions.– Not supported TXLink color replacement using TIFF index color.
Do not need to use another application, like RL/JU.Able to do the setting on the RIP screen.
Able to do the RL/GP’s way operation for LED pointer setting, image edit and discharge ink setting.
Virtual printer
• Able to register the print condition to the application printer or hot folder
• Not only the print condition, but also able to register the Rotate, Mirror, and Scale

Usability: User-Friendly Job OperationJob operation has been simple and quick.
– Able to change printer even for registered job.
– Only one click stops all output transactions when using multiple printers.
Printer selection
Cancel All jobs
Usability Detail: Grouped Job OperationGrouped Job operation has been faster.
– Able to layout multiple jobs at once.
Available Item: Scale, Rotation, Mirror and Position.
– Able to remove some jobs from a grouped job on the layout screen.
Select rotation after apply multiple jobs.
Able to remove jobs on this screen without getting back to the main screen.
Color (conversion)
Color conversion
Color conversion with ICC profile
Color conversion with gray balance curve
Able to configure vector and raster separately
Color adjustment

When matching this color
Color: Get color from designer’s sample (2)
• Scanner is EPSON Perfection4990
• Gradation is not available
• Need a test print beforehand in order that color reproduction accuracy differs depend on the color sample, scanner, or profile.
Color Detail: Accurate Color
All the Profile data have been expanded to 16 bits.
Color matching accuracy is much more advanced.
– Highlight is well reproduced.– Much less tone jump on gradations.– Preserves the same speed, compared with old 8 bits profile( V2 profile).– Required no special setting, Just select the V3 profile on the print
condition screen.
Accurate color reproduction
Color Detail: Proper Ink LimitInk limit method has been more proper in V3 profile.
– Adopts ink limit values differently from primary colors to composite colors.
– Stronger pure color but less bleeding is possible.
Case: this media can hold ink up to 210%.
Starts bleeding at C=M=Y=70%Total of 210%.
Adopts 70% each.Non Bleeding butWeak Magenta and Red.
Adopts 70% for composite color (CMY).Non bleeding andStrong Magenta and Red.

Color Detail: Profile Filter FunctionOn the print condition setting screen, able to filter the profile list with variety of
keys. Filtering by: Ink set, Media name, Resolution and Profile version.
Filtering in ink set.
Only SS2 CMYKLcLm profiles are on the list.
Color Detail:Enhanced Color ReplacementColor Replacement function has been more functional.
– Input color can be CMYK as well as spot color.
– Up to 4 special inks can be replaced on Tx2 or Tx3.
CMYK color can be replaced with special inks.
Able to replace color by selecting the ink slot numbers.
