Color
Profiled for Maximum Color and Brightness
Dye
sublimation inks are very much different than your standard
Epson inks. Sublimation inks are an encapsulated ink –
which means the way they look printed on the release paper looks
completely different than after being transferred to the substrate.
MultiRIP has profiled the different types of sublimation substrates
to provide you with the bright colors. Below is a list of the
different substrates and resolutions that have been color profiled:
- Polyester Fabric – Normal, Enhanced & Fine
- Mousepads – Normal & Enhanced
- Ceramic & Glass - Enhanced
- Metal – Enhanced & Fine
Calibrated
for Proper Ink Usage
Most decorators use print drivers that drop too much ink on
to the release paper. To compensate for this, decorators will
use a release paper that absorbs more ink quicker so that it
does not pool and distort the image. MultiRIP is calibrated
to print the appropriate amount of ink on to the release paper
to maximize your ink usage and minimize your costs.
Add Custom
Page Sizes
Unlike some applications that limit your designing abilities
to set paper sizes, MultiRIP will let you design your own paper
size and keep this size in memory for future use. All the standard
dye sublimation release transfer paper sizes (8.5" x 11",
11" x 17 and 13" x 19") are preset.
Page
Previewing
You can preview individual pages in both the output queue and
the "processed jobs" queue. This can save a lot of
time if a mistake is caught before expensive media is wasted.
Job/Page
Priority
Allows users to change print priority on a per-job or per-page
basis. When manually inserting jobs in the RIP or re-printing
jobs that have been ripped; simply use the slide-bar to set
values from 1 to 99 (just like Window's Print Manager) or enter
the number by hand. The job or page will then assume it's new
print priority. When printing from applications (Quark, PageMaker,
etc.) select the priority in the print settings dialog.
Re-Print
Pages without Re-Ripping
Allows you to re-print individual pages or colors from a separation
with a few simple clicks of your mouse. Once the job has been
processed, simply open the job item in the queue, select the
pages you wish to re-send to the printer (1). Select the number
of copies (2) and click "Print Selected Pages" (3).
The selected pages will be sent to the output queue. When making
multiple copies, the pages can be "stacked" (1,1,1,
2,2,2, 3,3,3 etc.) or collated (1,2,3, 1,2,3, etc.).
ICM/ICC
Based Color Management
Supports the use of ICC and ICMs for color management. The user
can select the color space of the input CMYK and RGB as well
as the output ICM if they desire. All media types included with
MultiRIP have been pre-linearized and the manual selection of
an output profile is seldom needed. If the user has created
a custom output profile, however, MultiRIP uses it per your
request. You can select the ICC/ICMs at print-time or right
at the RIP control panel when manually inserting PostScript
or PDF files or re-processing previous jobs. A utility is included
in the software which allows you to add ICM name entries into
your PPD so that they appear at print-time in the print configuration
dialog.
Print
Spot Colors
To ensure accurate spot color reproduction you can activate
MultiRIP's "TrueSpot™" you use special logo
colors or product colors then you can easily add them to MultiRIP
with the Spot Color function. Just click on Add and type in
your special color. MultiRIP will remember your color and use
it each time it is requested within your application.
