Mimaki releases RasterLink7

Mimaki has released RasterLink7, the latest version of its proprietary Raster Image Processor (RIP) software, designed to enhance efficiency, precision, and ease of use for print professionals. As the latest iteration in the RasterLink series, RasterLink7 introduces new features that improve workflow management, colour accuracy, and overall print quality.

Key Enhancements in RasterLink7

RasterLink7 builds upon its predecessor with a suite of new and upgraded features, tailored to meet the evolving needs of print professionals.

• Advanced Colour Management: The software’s Lab Colour Chart provides greater control over colour accuracy, ensuring consistent and predictable output.

• Improved Print Preview & Layout Tools: A new Layout Preview feature allows operators to verify designs before printing, minimising errors and material waste.

• New Profile Manager: Simplifies media profile creation and management, enabling optimal results across different materials and applications.

• Ink Efficiency & Cost Reduction: RasterLink7 includes an ink-saving function that reduces ink consumption by up to 30% while maintaining precise colour balance.

• Seamless Print-and-Cut Integration: The Cutter Support feature allows direct integration with cutting plotters, streamlining print-and-cut workflows.

• 2.5D Printing Capabilities: Previously available only on flatbed printers, 2.5D printing is now supported on roll-to-roll printers, expanding creative and commercial possibilities.

Beyond its core RIP functionalities, RasterLink7 introduces enhancements designed to optimise workflow efficiency and maintain high-quality output. Operators can estimate ink consumption for cost forecasting, manage multi-layer printing with greater precision, and utilise watermarking options for added security.

The new RasterLink7 RIP software is available for Mimaki’s latest printer models.
