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. Copy Hot folder for printer1 Print Printer 1 Printer for printer1 Copy Hot folder for printer2 Print Printer 2 Printer for printer2
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 Print Printer_720x720 720x720 print condition had been set when the data is loaded. Set up the print condition as a 720x720 Print with 720x720 Printer_720x1440 Easy to add thenew print condition printer
Usability: User-Friendly Job Operation • Job 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. Cancel All jobs Printer selection
Usability Detail: Grouped Job Operation • Grouped 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.
RL/Pro II color replacement Illustrator specify with spot color Replace the spot color to white ink Color: White ink print (1) White ink print is available with three functions: • White ink print for the specified character or graphic. Specify with Illustrator spot color, then replace to white ink.
Color: White ink print (2) (2) Print gradation with white ink • Specify the gradation on Illustrator with the RIP limitation color, then replace to white ink • 4 types of gradation are available with color replace RL/Pro II color replacement Illustrator Gradation Replace the spot color to white ink
Color: White ink print (3) (3) Easy to print white ink under the image • Use the JV3SP white layer function • RIP automatically create the white ground data Composite order: color white RL/ProII spot color adjustment Composite order: white color Print Color over white Print white over color
Color: White ink print (4) (Supplement) JV3SP White layer function • Divide a head front and back, then print white and color layer • White layer print level(Level 1 to 3) is a setting to reduce the nozzle number in order to provide ink drying time. Print order : color white Print order : white color Print color first Print white first Print white later Print color later Media front Media front K M Y C Lm Lc W W K M Y C Lm Lc W W
Color: Get color from designer’s sample (1) • Scan the designer’s color sample • Able to color matching up to 12 spot colors
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 Limit • Ink 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%. Primary Color Primary Color Composite Color Starts bleeding at C=M=Y=70% Total of 210%. V3 profile V2 profile Adopts 70% for composite color (CMY). Non bleeding and Strong Magenta and Red. Adopts 70% each.Non Bleeding but Weak Magenta and Red.
Color Detail: Profile Filter Function • On 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 Replacement • Color 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.
Editing: Position the multiple images • Select multiple images and position freely
Editing: Tiling • Able to divide 50m x 50m image • Start printing immediately with RIP & Print • Powerfully assist the display work 1) Print Reverse even-numbered column 2) Corner mark print 3) Tile number print 4) Cut line print at the outer frame
Pitch Editing: Copy function (1) Nest Copy • Print immediately with RIP& Print • No limitation on the copy number (Able to copy until the end of Roll) • Able to specify the space and pitch Space
Editing: Copy function (2) (2) Paneling • Delete the blank space around the image • No space between the copied image • No limitation on the number of copy • Enable to make copy for wall paper • No space copy enables cutting only once, compare with the copy where cutting should be performed twice in order to the space.
Data save and RIP information Data save and recover • Able to save the print condition, RIPed data, and profile, moreover able to recover the data completely. • Able to store onto external storage RIP information • Able to memorize the ink consumption, RIP Time, print condition
System Requirement (2) *1 Need download from Adobe home page *2 Automatically installed by using a RLPII as a network printer
