HP RIP Software - Release Notes
0706400 Revision F 6
Version 1.2
• NEW Profile creation method — this version uses color data rather than reflectance data. This results in more
accurate color profiles; however, this version is not compatible with the factory profiles created prior to version
1.2. This version includes a complete set of color profiles to replace the profiles used with previous versions.
• NEW Color profile creation — this version enables you to create custom color profiles for the media of your
choice. This procedure is explained in the online help and in the Kodiak User Guide (part number 0706399 Revi-
sion C). This optional feature is available if enabled by your software license from ColorSpan.
• NEW Right-click items in the tree pane — when you left-click (to select) then right-click a print job in the tree pane,
a menu appears that allows you to move, copy, RIP/print now, delete, or pause the job.
• NEW Drag-and-drop support from Windows Explorer — from the computer that is running the RIP (not a remote
computer over the network), you can now use the mouse to drag print jobs into a Hot Folder port in the tree pane.
• NEW Scaling of PostScript (PS) and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files — PostScript language (PS) files and single-page
Adobe Acrobat documents can now be scaled, cropped, and tiled as described in the “Crop/Size” section of
Chapter 2, Kodiak User Guide. The PS or PDF file must be copied to a Hot Folder with the “Default sizing method
for downloaded images” setting set to “Manual.” After reaching the RIP, the file will be RIPed to create a preview
image before it can be manipulated. EPS, TIFF, and JPEG files can also be scaled, cropped, and tiled as before.
(Multi-page PDF and PS files cannot be scaled and will RIP unscaled.)
• The scaling function is designed for use with application-generated (valid) PostScript language files. Hand-coded
PostScript files may not scale as expected. Do not attempt to scale the sample PostScript files included with the RIP
(such as the TRUMATCH swatch pages).
• PostScript files generated by the ColorSpan Image Utility are incompatible with the scaling in the RIP; these files
will fail with a PostScript error. Users should perform cropping and scaling operations in the RIP or CSIU, not
both.
• Supported printers (printers supported may vary with software license) — ColorSpan 9840uv (Kodiak 9840 edi-
tion only), ColorSpan 5400 Series.
• Verification ramps — the rows in the ColorMark+ verification ramps are labeled with numbers instead of the col-
ors used. The numbers correspond to the colors used in the ramps as follows: 1=C, 2=M, 3=Y, 4=K, 5=M+Y,
6=Y+C, 7=C+M, 8=CMY, 9=CMYK.
