Free upgrade to latest Mimaki RIP software now available

Mimaki Rasterlink PRO 5 RIP

For several years now, Mimaki customers have benefited from a top level postscript RIP bundled with their printer purchase and the latest version of the RasterLink Pro package is now available. Customers using version 4 of the RIP can upgrade to version 5 via a web link, providing a host of new features and productivity gains - for free.

John de la Roche; National Sales Manager for Mimaki’s exclusive UK & Ireland distributor; Hybrid Services Ltd, said; “Adding productivity gains to the software is as important as our continued drive to develop the hardware side of the business, and to allow a large portion of our customer base to benefit from this for free is great news.”

With full support for the latest Windows 7 operating system, Mimaki RasterLink Pro 5 also delivers new features such as improved postscript handling, file and RIP detail annotation on printed images, greater productivity with improved hot folder functions and a new web update feature for simpler future product updating and profile downloading. Users upgrading from older versions benefit from the new application’s 16 bit rendering – providing seamless vignettes and smooth tonal transitions to blends and gradations.

Version 5 of the software is provided free of charge with all new Mimaki printers – with specific “Sign & Graphics”, “Textile & Apparel” and “Industrial Product” versions supplied, dependent upon the printer model. All versions support powerful white ink printing functions and achieve an exceptional quality of output.
