What Is Profile Manager?


Profile Manager is a tool that manages "device profiles" and "input profiles," which are files that manage
colors in RasterLink7. It provides the following functions.
Function Summary Details

Profile installation Installs profiles from a folder or from the Internet. P. 10


Profile uninstallation Deletes profiles from the RasterLink7 system. P. 14
Finding the optimal device Uses a test print to find the optimal device profile. P. 17
profile
Finds the optimal device profile based on the printed P. 19
color chart.
Finely adjusts the hue and creates a dedicated device P. 26
profile.

With RasterLink7, at least one of the following must be installed.


• Device profile of the printer to be registered
• Input profile for RGB color mode
• Input profile for CMYK color mode

Terminology

Term Description

Profile In this document, "profile", if used by itself, is a generic term


referring to device profiles, input profiles, and user device profiles.
Device profile File that holds color information for each printer, ink, and media
used in the RasterLink series. Mimaki's original information is
added to the ICC profile.
Input profile An ICC profile that defines the color gamut of the RIP input side (in
this case, an image).
Measurement result file File that contains the results of colorimetric measurement of chart
images.
User device profile File created using Profile Manager. This is made based on a device
profile by adjusting the color or adding a new media name.
Extension: *.usrprf
MimakiProfileMaster3 (MPM3) Color management software from Mimaki Engineering (sold
separately). Use this to create device profiles, perform calibration,
and create emulation profiles.

Chapter 2 Advanced Usage Methods / 2.1 Finding and Using the Optimal Device Profile

2.1 Finding and Using the Optimal Device


Profile
With Profile Manager, you can find and use an optimal device profile even if a device profile specifically for
your media is not provided.

Finding the optimal device profile


If a device profile specifically for your media is not provided, you can use the following functions to find a
device profile suitable for that media.

l Finding Using a Test Print


This prints a single image so that multiple device profiles can be checked all at once, allowing you to check
visually for the optimal device profile. "Finding Using a Test Print"(P. 17)

l Finding Based on a Printed Color Chart


You can print out a dedicated chart and find, either colorimetrically or visually, a device profile that meets
Mimaki standards. "Finding Based on a Printed Color Chart"(P. 19)

Adjusting and Using the Device Profile You Found

l Adjusting the Hue to Make a Dedicated Device Profile


You can use a selected device profile as a basis, finely adjusting the hue and adding a new media name to
create a file (user device profile). "Adjusting the Hue to Make a Dedicated Device Profile"(P. 26)

Settings in RasterLink7
These functions use RasterLink7 to print images.
Configure the following settings in advance on the applicable devices registered in RasterLink7.
(1) Create a hot folder.
• Create a job from Profile Manager through a hot folder with the same name as the device
name. Be sure to create a hot folder.
