The best bridge between your artwork and your Mimaki device
Built for great performance with Mimaki printers and print & cut devices, RasterLink 7 converts your PDF, TIFF, CSV or vector files into precise, color-accurate output instructions — no workflow change, no file conversion headaches. Powered by the Harlequin RIP engine, native PDF files are processed up to 25% faster, with full support for PDF transparency, so your files rip exactly as designed.
Beyond standard RIP output, RasterLink 7 includes smart production tools: variable data printing that merges CSV files with up to 1,000 lines into predefined templates, a Profile Manager for accurate color output, a Layout Preview for job checking before print, an ink-saving function, and support for 2.5D printing. From signage and vehicle graphics to textile production, personalized cards and industrial printing, RasterLink 7 improves efficiency for print shops of every size, with free migration available from RasterLink6/6Plus.
