Hybrid Services: Mimaki RasterLink Pro/TxLink RIP Software Either RasterLink Pro or TxLink RIP software is included with Mimaki’s wide-format printing solutions, with the exact option depending upon the particular printer model, explains Hybrid Services, the Mimaki distributor for the UK and Ireland. “Both offer powerful, user-friendly functionality with multiple features designed to maximise the capabilities of specific Mimaki printers. “Both RIPs incorporate a number of features that textile printers and garment decorators will find valuable, with more textile-specific options – such as spot colour management, and step and repeat – forming part of the TxLink package.” Mimaki’s latest RIP package, RasterLink 7, is compatible with the manufacturer’s new TS100-1600 dye sublimation printer. This latest version of RasterLink shares the TxLink software’s ability to handle variable data, plus it sports intuitive print-and-cut integration, which is ideal for print-and-cut garment decoration, adds Hybrid. It also includes “spot colour replacement and, for certain printer models, highly creative functionality, such as multi-layer printing”. Both software packages can be updated online, and device profiles are readily available from the Mimaki website. For users with more specific profile requirements, Mimaki also offers the Mimaki Profile Master II colour management tool.
