Maintop RIP color settings

Question

How to set up a color on Maintop RIP? If I use default settings, the colors are too bright and do not have a correct contrast. How to change ICC profiles in Maintop?

Answer 1

The application allows you to generate a COLOR profile to use for your printer. It analyzes the ink level and the use of the cartridges to predict the best possible printing options. Try to use the default settings, then print a test page for your printer, because it's possible that your ink level is low and the printer uses other colors. Once the Maintop RIP generates the ICC profile, access the official application and load it, then the printer will use it.

Answer 2

This is not a solution, because im talking about wide format printer, so when i change for ex. media from paper to selfadhesive foil i always must change ICC profile, but i dont know how do this in this crapy software like Maintop.

Answer 4

We have been using Main top since November 2022, while we have had challenges, we can generally get it working to do some things.
HOWEVER, out biggest challenge is that Cyan is not printing as Cyan but a dark Blue
Maintop seems to be poorly documented, the website is something out of the early 2000's. Resources are sparse and very cumbersome to get production stuff out.
We are looking at changing to something else for RIP. Maybe AcroRIP 9.
We have lost about 8 weeks of productivity due to this new printer and Maintop.
