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 printer 1 Printer for printer 1 Copy Hot folder for printer 2 Printer for printer 2

Multiple Printer Detail: Additional Printer Support All the Mimaki printers are supported. (1) UJF-605 C and UJF-605 R – Able to use the same function as Raster. Link. UJ. Visualized operation is available for color replacement. (based on Raster. Link. Pro. II) Do not need to use another application, like RL/JU. Able to do the setting on the RIP screen. (2) GP-604(D), DM 1810(D), DM 2, DM 3 and GP-604 S – No change from Raster. Link. GP on function and operation. Able to do the RL/GP’s way operation for LED pointer setting, image edit and discharge ink setting. (3) Tx 2 and Tx 3 – Able to use Raster. Link. Pro. II standard functions. – Not supported TXLink color replacement using TIFF index color. 　　　　　　　　

Virtual printer • Able to register the print condition to the application printer or hot folder Printer_720 x 720 Set up the print condition as a 720 x 720 print condition had been set when the data is loaded. Print with 720 x 720 Printer_720 x 1440 Easy to add thenew print condition printer • Not only the print condition, but also able to register the Rotate, Mirror, and Scale

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. Select rotation after apply multiple jobs. – Able to remove some jobs from a grouped job on the layout screen. 　　　　　 Able to remove jobs on this screen without getting back to the main screen.

Color (conversion) Color conversion with ICC profile Color conversion with gray balance curve Able to configure vector and raster separately 　　　　　　　　 Color adjustment Contrast Adjust CMYK contrast curve uniformly Overall density Adjust CMYK uniformly CMY density adjustment Adjust density CMY separately K density adjustment Adjust K density Adjust K and CMY rate Adjust the replace rate of CMY combined K and K Gray balance curve Edit Gray balance curve Ink limit curve Edit ink limit curve Able to configure the following settings separately, contrast, CMY density adjustment, and K-CMY rate adjustment

Color: White ink print (1) White ink print is available with three functions: (1) 　 White ink print for the specified character or graphic. Specify with Illustrator spot color, then replace to white ink. Illustrator specify with spot color RL/Pro II color replacement Replace the spot color to white ink

Color: White ink print (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 Illustrator Gradation RL/Pro II color replacement Replace the spot color to white ink

Color: White ink print (3) Easy to print white ink under the image • • Use the JV 3 SP white layer function RIP automatically create the white ground data RL/Pro. II spot color adjustment Composite order: white color Print Color over white Composite order: color white Print white over color

Color: White ink print (4) (Supplement) JV 3 SP White layer function • Divide a head front and back, then print white and color layer Print order : color white Print order : white color Print color first Print white later Media front Print color later Media front K M • Print white first Y C Lm Lc WW K M Y C Lm Lc WW White layer print level（Level 1 to 3） is a setting to reduce the nozzle number in order to provide ink drying time.

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 Perfection 4990 　 • • 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( V 2 profile). Required no special setting, Just select the V 3 profile on the print condition screen. Accurate color reproduction

Color Detail: Proper Ink Limit Ink limit method has been more proper in V 3 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 Composite Color Starts bleeding at C=M=Y=70% Total of 210%. V 2 profile Adopts 70% each. Non Bleeding but Weak Magenta and Red. V 3 profile Adopts 70% for composite color (CMY). Non bleeding and Strong 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 SS 2 CMYKLc. Lm profiles are on the list.

Color Detail: Enhanced Color Replacement function has been more functional. – Input color can be CMYK as well as spot color. CMYK color can be replaced with special inks. – Up to 4 special inks can be replaced on Tx 2 or Tx 3. 　　　　　 Able to replace color by selecting the ink slot numbers.

Editing FUNCTIONS Mirror Create mirror image Rotate the image 90/180/270 direction Scale Enlarge or reduce the image Trimming Print a specified area of image Tiling Separate a image and print Cutline Print outer frame of image with dotted line Nest Copy the image Paneling copy Remove the space around image, and copy Multiple image allocation Print multiple images at once.
