RasterLink 7 is Mimaki's official RIP (Raster Image Processor) software, designed to bridge the gap between the digital file and your Mimaki printer or cutter. Built around the new Harlequin RIP engine, it significantly increases processing speed, usability and productivity compared to previous versions.
With its variable data printing function (merging CSV files with up to 1,000 lines into predefined templates), advanced PDF transparency handling, native PDF RIP processing up to 25% faster, an ink-saving function, and support for 2.5D printing, RasterLink 7 covers the full range of production scenarios: signage, textile/apparel, personalized cards and labels, and industrial printing. Compatible with Windows 10/11 — delivered by email, with free migration from RasterLink6/6Plus via serial key.
