<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Click on \u201cUpdate Favorite\u201d to use these settings in your hotfolder preset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. If all settings are defined, click the \u201cHot folder creation\u201d button . The \u201cHot Folder\u201d window opens. Now click \u201cCreate\u201d to generate the hotfolder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note: The \u201cFolder Path\u201d of the hotfolder which is set in the Rasterlink must be identical to the destination path in the RL-direct driver which is set in Productionserver.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n______________________________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mimaki RL-direct creation in PS9<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Open Productionserver, click \u201cPrinter\u201d, and select \u201cNew\u2026\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Choose the Mimaki RL-direct driver and click \u201cNext >\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. The \u201cImport MIM\u201d dialog opens. Click \u201cImport MIM\u2026\u201d if you have an existing MIM, otherwise click \u201cNext >\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. Select the path to the hotfolder that was created in Rasterlink (Step 3) and click \u201cNext >\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. Define the paths the driver will use. The following paths can be defined: Archived Jobs, Printer Definition and Hotfolder. Click \u201cNext >\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. In the \u201cHotfolders\u201d dialog the default hotfolder settings can be defined and additional hotfolders can be added. Click \u201cNext >\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7. Click \u201cFinish\u201d in the \u201cAdvanced Settings\u201d dialog to create the driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Printing with special inks<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n1. To print with special inks (white, silver, primer, or varnish) first the job has to be imported into Productionserver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2.Now double-click the job and open the \u201cColor\u201d tab. After clicking the \u201cSettings\u2026\u201d button navigate to the \u201cPrint Mode\u201d tab. In this tab simply activate the special color (in our example we set \u201cWhite\u201d to \u201cSpot\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note: These settings can be stored to the MIM as default settings by clicking \u201cOK\u201d and \u201cStore to MIM\u201d after the window has closed.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n3. After confirming with \u201cOK\u201d it is necessary to replace the spot color for the job accordingly: Click \u201cColor Table\u2026\u201d on the \u201cColor\u201d tab, double-click the replacement color, and select \u201cDeviceSpot\u201d and \u201cDeviceWhite\u201d as displayed in the screenshot. Now the settings dialog can be closed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4. As a last step in Productionserver we recommend to control the spot color replacement. If it is replaced correctly the spot color areas are replaced by a red pattern (see below). If this is correct, the job can be printed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5. After the job has been printed in Productionserver one file per layer is created. In our case two files \u2014 one for white, one for color. The files are imported automatically to Rasterlink :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6. Now it is necessary to select the \u201cWhite\u201d job and click the \u201cSpecial plate\u201d icon on the right hand side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n7. Select \u201cValid Pixel\u201d and make sure that the right ink set (here \u201cWhite\u201d) is selected. Click \u201cCreate\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8. Once this is done a separate white layer is created and the job is ready to be printed. Just send the white and color layers to the printer as you know it from Rasterlink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
