MatchPrint II Version 6.73

Release notes (05.05.2011)

New printing modes for MS JPK and MS JP6.
Now is possible to import calibration curve from the curve interface of STEP 2.
New settings window (from menù option=>general settings):
LAYOUT: new feature to round off the repeat parameter to the closest original repeat size multiple; printing width, bottom space and measure unit parameters;
JOB LIST: web job list service management and customer selection;
INK: ink price setting (not yet active);
Driver for MS Rio.
Calibration version 6.50 (upgradable from 6.40): new transparent management in DOUBLE PENETRATION mode. In the previous version it was cut off for the percetage less the 1%. Now it will be used gradually until 0%.

Bug fixed

Web joblist available from the browser at the local IP address: localhost:51482 or 127.0.0.1:51482 oppprure machine IP address:51482. The service can be activated from the Options=>Web service menù and with the "Web printed joblist" button of the toolbar atumatically start the default web browser.
Now it is possible to define curve for the SPOT mode printing. To do that you must select SPOT mode in the printing settings and then open the curve setting window (STEP 2) of the calibration: the number of curves is the same of the number of heads.
With some license problem appear a message indicating which printer the software is looking for then it will open automatically the License Manager.
New unit of measure: meters and centimeters selectable from the View=>Unit of measure menù.
Driver for Roland LEC-540.

Bug fixed

Correct the object snap ob the guide lines with the color band active.
Opening a colorways image, with some contrast, gamma or brightness default value different from 0 in the calibration setting, the will be used also if in the setting window you saw all these parameter on 0. This create a wrong behavior of the printing of the color chips and the color in the image (also on the monitor).
Software crash loading last layout with the L key button if there was not selected any calibration.
Software crash opening a layout from the job list and reloading the calibration while the preview generation was not completly terminated..

Sequence management in the printing que: now all the print jobs belong at the same sequence will be group in one item, indicating the total of printings. Deleting the item all the jobs of the sequence will be deleted.
Better color visualization opening multichannel images and setting the calibration to Channel mode.

Bug fixed

Duplicating a RGB image in the layout and printing with MS driver the printing service could crash.
The overlay calculation in "Spectrum" mode was uncorrect if some color curves of the calibration had been adjust manually.
Hide the sequence counter (in the printing job que) for the non-sequence jobs.

Version 6.70 - (10.01.2011)

It is possible to use the 'm' letter, in the "repeat" parameter (only Y axes) to define the length in meters (i.e. 57m means 57 meteres).
Deleting the JobList you will find a backup in the Documents folder of the current user.
EyeOne spectrophotometer supported also on Windows 7.
Driver for MS-JPK and MS-JP6.
File name visualization as tooltip for each image moving on it the cursor.
New remark macro '$M' to print out the Printing mode for the machine that support it.
New calibration parameter: SATURATION COMPRESSION. Useful to reduce the amount of ink without modifying the color tone. It is possible to adjust it in the Advanced Calibration Settings.
Calibration version 640 with two modifications: - fixed the problem of the different printing between the color chip and the design (the wrong one was in the design). - using of the transparent ink for the layered images with overlay RGB printing mode. It is possible to make the upgrade of the calibration from 630 version in the "Calibration Manager" window.
Support of a new dithering mode in the MS driver: MATRIX, that is the original one, and ERROR DIFFUSION.
Driver for Roland XJ-740, Roland XJ-640, Roland XJ-540, Roland LEC-330.
Optimized printing speed for RGB images on MS printers.

Bug fixed

Printing a Square color atlas in ICC mode the print out was anyway effected in Paint mode.
Loading a separeted design and activating the color chips the software always show the chips of the first colorway (also in the print out) while the colors of the design was correct.
Was not possible to open a layout with the nome longer then 64 characters.
---
During the readings of the calibrations chart in the "stripes" mode the spectrophotomer often gave an error and was not possible to complete the procedure.
