New Features

  1. Added support for Rampage version 8.1 which features a new compression
  2. Added support for the Roland FJ-500/400. This operates in the following modes
  3. CMYK
  4. CMYKLcLm (Light Cyan, Light Magenta)
  5. CMYKOG (Orange and Green)
  6. CMYKCMYK

Note: For correct operation in CMYKCMYK mode BlackMagic is placed in CMYK colourspace in the pagesetup and there is a setting on the Roland to activate the 8 colours.

Note: This driver does not currently support the printer in full 8 colour mode where the 8 colours are CMYKLcLmOG.

For more information on the configuration and options see, Features of the Roland FJ400/500 plotters.

  1. Added support for indexed colour (palette) RGB tiff files.
  2. Added fast2 de-screening mode. This is better quality than fast mode, and about 80% of the quality of RDT, but is faster than RDT by between 60-100%. Speed varies depending on the job being de-screened. See New De-Screening Modes for more information.
  3. Added d-dot de-screening function which removes the dots. This is for people that do not want to see dots on a proof from screened output. See New De-Screening Modes for more information.
  4. Added support for installed windows printer drivers. This is a new driver on Black Magic and will output to any installed windows printer driver on the same machine.
  5. Added support for the Techsage SpinJet double sided proofer. For more information on configuration see New Techsage SpinJet 1000 driver.
  6. Added support for files larger than 2GB. The software is now 64bit which overcomes the previous restriction.
  7. Added a `Low quality preview' option in the system control panel which produces a quicker preview and therefore improves processing speed by around 15%. This is not enabled by default. See Low quality Preview for more information.
  8. Added support for the New Celebra 4.1 database structure.
  9. Added support for the Epson 5500. See New Epson 5500.
  10. New programmable "TIFF Based RIP (User Configurable)" input filter. By using the new JobGenieEditor any filenaming convention can be supported. This means that BlackMagic virtually supports any RIP that uses Tiff as it's plate file format. See Tiff Based RIP (User Configurable) - JobGenie for more information.
  11. Support for Dainippon Screen TaigaSpace RIP and TrueFlow using dot tiff files with the "TIFF Based RIP" (Either standard or User configurable). This must be TaigaSpace V4.30 SE001 or later.
  12. Support for the RIPout files from TaigaSpace (V4.30 SE001 and above also) You must have the RIPout module for TaigaSpace which is optional. This is handled by a new input filter.
