Introduction to ColorMark+ 2.0
What is ColorMark+ 2.0?
ColorMark+ 2.0 is a software package from ColorSpan that enables users to create custom ink and media transforms in up to eight process colors for their ColorSpan printer/server installation. It also makes it possible to manipulate several image properties after the print job has already been processed by the server. Finally, it makes it possible to include the ColorSpan printer/server in an ICC color management workflow.
ColorMark+ 2.0 features a completely redesigned user interface from previous versions, with many other improvements to the transform creation process, the most significant being the capacity to profile eight process colors (or the full "1x12" inkset). See the Release Notes for a detailed list of features.
Supported printers
ColorMark+ 2.0 can be used with each of the following printers:
- DisplayMaker Series XII
- DisplayMaker FabriJet XII
- DisplayMaker Esprit
Supported servers
ColorMark+ 2.0 requires a RIPStation 400 or better, or a ColorMark Pro 4000 or better. ColorMark+ 2.0 may also be used with the ColorMark Software RIP for DisplayMaker Esprit.
Other Requirements
ColorSpan Print Server Software version 8.60 and ColorMark Color Management System software version 7.60 or newer versions are required for ColorMark+ 2.0.
No additional hardware is required to take advantage of the post-RIP image manipulation features. To create new ink and media transforms and ICC profiles for DisplayMaker FabriJet XII, an external input device (calibrator) is required. The DisplayMaker Series XII or DisplayMaker Esprit can use its onboard CCD image sensor to create new transforms and profiles for four, six, or eight-color ink sets. To create new transforms and profiles for any ink sets using the additional process colors of blue, orange, red, and green, an external input device is required.
Supported external input devices include:
- ColorMark Calibrator
- X-Rite DTP-41
- X-Rite DTP-41/T
- Gretag Spectrolino with Spectroscan table
Co-compatibility with ColorMark+ 1.50
Customers with Giclee PrintMaker-FA or DisplayMaker HiRes-8 printers can continue to use ColorMark+ 1.50 to create color transforms for those printers. ColorMark+ 2.0 can be installed on the same print server for use with DisplayMaker Series XII, DisplayMaker FabriJet XII, or DisplayMaker Esprit.
