Adding Profiles to RasterLink 7

Profiles serve as a set of instructions that guide the printer on how to reproduce colors accurately and consistently. By adding custom profiles tailored to your specific printing materials, inks, and printer model, you ensure that the output aligns with your desired color standards. This not only improves the quality and vibrancy of your prints but also minimizes the likelihood of color discrepancies. Additionally, utilizing accurate profiles streamlines the printing process, reducing the need for manual adjustments and ultimately saving time and resources. In essence, integrating specific profiles into Mimaki RasterLink 7 is a pivotal step toward achieving precision, consistency, and efficiency in your digital printing endeavors.

This same concept can be applied when trying to add profiles to RasterLink 6 and RasterLink 6 Plus
