You can make as many profiles as you want.some for different stocks of paper being used.or some for your best client that maybe likes a more puncy sheet off the press.etcĪlso you can make "Progressive" proofs.say you only have a 2 color press and your first 2 inks down are Cyan and Magenta.then the "Starproof" software can make a proof with only those 2 colors.that way your pressman knows what run to.then you can make a final proof for the other 2 colors. "proofs" that match your presses.īasically you output some files from Compose (to film or CTP).you run these files / plates on your presses and print to your shops standards regarding ink densities and how you like your printing to reads your printed sheet and builds a proof profile to match that press.including dot gain and color.

it creates a true dot.simalar to the dot found on the is easy to use and to set up.

So you can either put cleaning fluid in the three remaining light channels or you can put heat transfer ink in them.From a strictly offset repro world I really like the "STARPROOF" Rip From Compose. MultiRIP Hybrid only pulls film positive ink from the Light Black ink channel. Then you can load the black ink in the other channel(s). Since you are going to need CMYK dye sub ink, you will put those cartridges in the CMYK channels on your printer. Each cartridge has a chip on it for a specific ink channel. In either case, you are going to have to change the ink setup because the dye sub inks for the 4880 printer come in cartridges. This product ( MultiRIP Hybrid: Dual Ink, Sublimation Transfers Film Positive RIP Epson Printers) includes all of them. Some RIPs will allow you to do this, but they are going to require you to create your own profiles (dye sub) and/or dMax curves (film positives). There is software out there that allows you to do this. use the black film positive ink for your film positives or use your CMYK sublimation inks for dye sub transfers).

Then select which set of inks you want to print with depending on the need (i.e. What you are asking for is creating a hybrid printer that allows you to load 2 different inks into the printer at once.
