HP RIP Software - Release Notes

0706400 Revision F 5
Check the printer dot gain file:
If there is calibrated data in the printer dot gain file, use it.
If not, use the data in the ICC profile.
Two batch files are included with this version to enable you to switch between these two methods.
use_13.bat replaces the default version 1.4 dot gain files with version 1.3 dot gain files.
These "legacy" (version 1.3) dot gain files have been modifed slightly to ensure the data in them is always used by
HP RIP Software version 1.4. The default data within them has been moved to the "calibrated" section, which ensures
that the HP RIP Software sees it as new data. After running the batch file, the calibration date for all media will be
shown as January 30th, 2008.
use_14.bat restores the version 1.4 default dot gain files.
Version 1.3
•NEW 3M Matched Component System (MCS) option — this version supports 3M ink and graphic media for
the ColorSpan 5400UV Series printers.
NEW Microsoft Windows Vista support — this version can be installed on the Microsoft Windows Vista operat-
ing system, and supports print jobs sent from Windows Vista client workstations.
NEW DisplayMaker support — this version supports printing with color profiles for the DisplayMaker UVR, UVX,
and SI printer products.
NEW Color profile creation now supports the onboard camera — you can now create and linearize color pro-
files using only the onboard photodiode (camera”), without an external spectrophotometer device (except pro-
files for 3M inks, which must be created with an external device.)
When profiling sheet-fed media with the camera, it will be necessary to change sheets during the profile creation
process. See the control panel for instructions. Typically, two 48x48 inch sheets are needed for the ColorSpan
9840UV, and up to three sheets for the 5400UV Series, including the ink limit and verification prints.
Various user interface and performance improvements have been made, including a new print preview window.
•The Help option has been removed from the Kodiak system tray icon menu.
The color profile editing function has been removed from the RIP. It will be reintroduced in a future version.
In the Linearization tab of ColorMark+, curve editing has been removed. The Reset one and Reset all buttons
have been removed from the user interface.
When reading color patches in ColorMark+, the Cancel button has been disabled.
Tip: On the computer running the RIP, you can display the interface by entering the URL as: http://localhost/hp-
ripsw. This has the benefit of keeping the RIP running even if the connection to the local area network (DNS
server) is disrupted.
