Job list preview/display of thumbnail images is easy to understand.
You can check the layout view, rotation, scaling up/down, mirror view and also the arrangement of multiple one jobs.
Set up more then one virtual printer
You can make more than one PS printer (virtual printer) on which different printing conditions and editing conditions are set. When printing from Illustrator, if you select necessary PS printers, the already set printing conditions and editing conditions are set as initial setting. Further, multiple numbers of hot folders in which printing conditions and editing conditions are set and the corresponding files can be stored.
Profiles that enable the uptimum print conditions
Mounted with unique profile enabling you to establish the best printing conditions without making detailed setting. Simply by selecting a profile corresponding to the media, the optimum temperature of the intelligent heater or feed correction will be set. Custom settings are also possible.
Tiling
Tiling is made easy. Produce any number of tiles. Print all tiles in any order or select one tile or group of tiles to print at a time. Head and tail reversion of neighboring tiles to allow for minimum colour difference between left and right edges of each tile.

- Cut-line printing
This is a convenient function to print the cutting line on the outside frame of the tiles.

- Optional arrangement of tiles
You may arrange it at the center of the media or at any other place you desire.
Continuous Print & Cut (CJV-30 only)
Cut data and print data created by Illustrator or CorelDRAW and FineCut can be combined so both the print & cut processing can be done from within RasterLink. The cut condition is easily settable from the "cut setting" submenu of the RIP.

- Drying time after printing
An amount of time after printing before cutting can be set.

- Heat temperature after printing
Pre/print/post - heater can be turned off during cutting.

- Outer frame cut

Colour Replacement
RasterLink Pro gives you the flexibility to adjust or completely change any colour or groups of colours and save the changes to be utilised in future jobs.
Spot Colour Printing (White and Silver)
Mimaki's original white-layer printing helps to create more vivid images on transparent materials. This is made possible by printing a white layer either under or over the CMYK layers. [more]
Make your images stand out with the use of silver. Print any colour over the top of silver to create a vast range of matelic colours.
Print Conditions
You can now save all of you editing infomation for future jobs in RasterLink's 'Print Conditions'. Profile settings, colour mapping, scaling, etc can all be saved and reused.
Other Features

- Colour Adjustment
Colour adjustment of a bit map or a vector can be performed independently.

- CMYK holding (Pure CMYK)
At the time of colour matching, CMYK data of primary colours will be printed without colour matching, therefore printing purely.

- Trimming
You may print the whole or a part of an image. Trim the image to print the portions you desire while stilll maintaining full layout capabilities eg rotate, scale, and mirror. This feature is ideal for samples and colour tests.

- Copying and nesting
This is a function to print the same image more than once. The margins as well as the direction of copying may be set.

- Paneling
The same image is repeatedly printed without space in an array of different layouts. This is suitable for wallpaper etc. printing.

- Indication of progress status
Processing status of RIP, the elapsed time and estimated time to complete the works will be displayed.

- Automatic execution
When automatic execution is set in RasterLink Pro, jobs sent from the client application to RasterLink Pro will start automatically. Therefore, manual operation in RasterLink Pro is not required.

- Print Information Label
Print information such as print mode and edit conditions will be printed at the top of a job when printing. This function conveniently confirms print conditions on print samples.

- Indication of progress status
Processing status of RIP, the elapsed time and estimated time to complete the works will be displayed.

- Stand alone operation
Since this equipment can work as stand alone, initial setting as well as installation is expected to become simpler.
