Mimaki announces RasterLink6 RIP software
New version of Mimaki RasterLink delivers Pantone colour matching, Adobe integration and improved user interface.
Mimaki Engineering announces the availability of an upgrade to its feature rich and easy to use wide format RIP; RasterLink6 – sporting a range of new functions and enhancements ideally suited to Mimaki’s range of wide format inkjet printers.
The new version of RasterLink6 offers an improved user interface over previous versions, including intuitive icons that make selection of options easy for users, a single-window approach to selection of all options, and the ability to monitor printing progress from the main screen.
“We have also enhanced our colour replacement functions with RasterLink6,” said Yuji Ikeda, Product Marketing Manager of Mimaki Europe. “With RasterLink6, operators can easily convert special colours to specific Pantone references to ensure colour integrity. Selected colours from the RasterLink6 colour charts can easily be added to colour swatches in Adobe Illustrator. In addition, users can measure a target colour with an optional colorimeter and use RasterLink6’s Colour Picker System to accurately reproduce those targeted colours.”
Mimaki RasterLink6 also allows users to simulate colour printing in Adobe Illustrator and/or Adobe Photoshop without the need to create an actual print using Mimaki’s Profile Master 2, saving time and money in the design and production process. Mimaki is distributed by Hybrid Services Ltd in theUK&Ireland, and national sales manager for Hybrid, John de la Roche, describes the new features as “powerful developments from Mimaki.” “The features that Mimaki continues to introduce are key to our customers’ productivity,” he remarks, and his view is echoed by Ikeda.
”These improvements to our RasterLink RIP reinforce Mimaki’s commitment to ongoing enhancement of our products for the textile apparel and soft signage markets,” adds Ikeda. “In these dynamic and rapidly changing businesses, time to market is increasingly critical, and Mimaki is dedicated to providing tools and solutions that enable users to keep up with the required fast pace while ensuring the highest quality and colour integrity.”
