MORE INFORMATION ON IMAGEPRINT

Are all of the IMAGEPRINT BLACK profiles included with R.E.D.?

No, IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. doesn’t use the same profiles as IMAGEPRINT BLACK. Instead, R.E.D. is engineered to be the very best at using the color management provided by your printer’s manufacturer. It works with all the profiles provided with the printer driver as well as any profiles made by independent paper manufacturers for your printer.

Is there a quality difference between IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. and IMAGEPRINT BLACK?

Can I build my own profiles for IMAGEPRINT R.E.D.?

Yes. IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. gives you the perfect platform to build your own profiles. You can easily turn off color management to ensure you’re getting the very best and use any ICC compliant tools to create your own profiles.

How many printers can I use with IMAGEPRINT R.E.D.?

IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. will work with an unlimited number of printers in the size range it was purchased for, but it will only print to one printer at a time. Jobs sent to other printers will stack up in our spooler until the current print is complete. If you need to print to multiple printers at once you can purchase additional licenses.

Can I use IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. as a client over the network?

No, IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. can only be used on a single computer. If you need to print to one or more printers on a network, you need the more advanced features of IMAGEPRINT BLACK.

Does IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. use IMAGEPRINT BLACK’s fancy Spoolface or the limited OS spooler to queue print jobs?

This is another area that separates IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. from other methods of printing. IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. uses the same advanced spooler as IMAGEPRINT BLACK, because we believe any application designed for printing should include professional level spooling.

What is IMAGEPRINT R.E.D.’s automatic color management mode?

Automatic color management is one way that IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. simplifies color management. By default, the correct profile will be automatically selected whenever you choose to use paper made by your printer’s manufacturer. Just select the Media Type, and IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. will do the rest.

How do I use 3rd party paper profiles in IMAGEPRINT R.E.D.?

It’s so easy; just select the 3rd party paper profile you want to use and IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. will tell you which media type to select. No need to decipher cryptic filenames or struggle with media configuration files every time you want to make print.

If I already own IMAGEPRINT BLACK, can I also run IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. for a different printer?

Yes. You can add IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. to any IMAGEPRINT BLACK license, and you can move between the two in the same interface.

Does IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. run on both Mac and PC?

Yes. IMAGEPRINT R.E.D. is hybrid and you own the ability to use it on Mac and PC.

Professional Level Queue and Job Management

• Print jobs can be rearranged and prioritized, sent to different printers or moved from one computer to another.
• Edit the parameters of a past print job, allowing you to change elements such as the number of copies, DPI, ink set or drum speed--without having to rebuild the layout.

IMAGEPRINT’s 16-bit output sharpening allows you to compensate for print processing and viewing conditions that affect the perceived detail of your prints.

Shuffle

IMAGEPRINT's Shuffle feature reduces wasted space by testing different combinations of image layouts on a page. Shuffle uses advanced algorithms to quickly go through the most promising layouts first. It then goes about testing these potential layouts, displaying each one as it goes.

At any time in the process, you can decide to keep the current arrangement and send it to the printer, or you can keep waiting for an even more optimum layout to be found. To make the decision easier, ImagePrint shows you how much paper the current layout will save compared to the original at the bottom of the screen.

Maximum Gamut - Minimum Effort

Our sophisticated ink recipes use our own technology - 3 years in the making - to maximize the gamut for each paper that we profile for your printer. Other RIPS would like you to believe that their linearization tool is a feature. The truth is, the method was developed during the last century for the pre-press industry, making it a poor fit for inkjets. Not only do you waste time, paper and ink, the method actually limits the gamut of your printer.
