Before Printing with Silver Ink
Printer Settings
Configure your printer as follows when printing using this guide.
Turn the ionizer (option) setting on
If an ionizer is connected, make sure this setting is turned on.
When left off, the mist may degrade the image quality.
Ionizer settings can be changed in [MACHINE SETUP] - [Ionizer].
Set the logical seek setting to "OFF"
To stabilize the image quality, set the logical seek setting to "OFF".
However, the print time will be longer than when logical seek is set to "ON".
For logical seek setting, go to [SETUP MENU] - [LOGICAL SEEK].
About the Finish
Select either ‘Glossy (Mirror Finish)’ or ‘Matte (Matte Finish)’ as the finish.
This manual assumes that ‘Glossy (Mirror Finish)’ is selected as the finish.
Replace Glossy with Matte when reading through this manual if you want to use ‘Matte (Matte Finish)’.

Check the Appropriate Printing Conditions
The color of materials printed using MUH-100 silver ink will differ greatly to the color shown in the application
preview.
Image quality will vary depending on the media in use. Make sure to check the printing conditions that suit the
media in use.
After checking the printing conditions, you should create color samples of silver monochrome and metallic colors
using the printing conditions suited to the media in use.
Create a Silver Monochrome Color Sample
In order to effectively use silver ink on a form of media without a metallic color profile, output the following
color sample and check the printing conditions that best matches the media in use.
Create an Initial Color Sample
1. In the [Tool] menu of RasterLink6Plus, select [Color
Collection].
• Confirm the color collection settings.
2. Select the [Use] check boxes next to [MUH-
100 Metallic Color (No Silver)] and [MIMAKI
RasterLink], and then click [Close].
3. In the [File] menu, select [Open].
4. Select the following file, and then click [Open].
• C:\MijSuite\ColorChart\Default\SilverInkLimitTestChart_KOnly.pdf
5. In [Job List], select the job you just loaded.

6. Click the [Properties] icon.
7. For [Job Attribute], select [Mono Color].
8. In the [Mono Color] tab, configure the
settings as follows.
• [Source color]: [Black]
• [Ink]: [Silver]
9. In the [UV Mode] tab, select [Glossy
Print], and then click [OK].
• The [Attribute] will show as [Silver (Glossy)].
10.
Click the [Quality] icon.
11.
In the [Print Quality] tab, set the printing conditions.
(1) Select the [Resolution].
• Refer to the following table for settings of the printing conditions to use.
UV mode Finish

In the [Execution] tab, select [RIP and Print], and
then click [Start].
• If the color sample seems off, proceed to "Adjusting the
Image Quality Based on a Color Sample" (P.7).

Adjusting the Image Quality Based on a Color Sample
1. Check the image quality of the silver monochrome color sample printed.
2. Click the [Quality] icon.
3. Select the [Color Adjust] tab and create
a new color adjustment set.
(1) Enter the name of the new set into the input box.
(2) Click .
• This will create a new color adjustment set.
4. Adjust the density of the silver ink.
5. Click the [Execution] icon.
How to check the silver ink image quality
• Silver monochrome color sample patches at 100% ink density that do not bleed or cause
banding, and maintain a uniform print surface with a high degree of specularity indicate that
the printing conditions are suited to the media in use. Use this as the silver color sample.
If the image quality of the 100% density patch is poor, proceed to step 2.
Bleeding: This occurs when there is too much ink, causing excess ink at patch edges and
resulting in edges showing up white.
Banding: This occurs when there is insufficient ink, resulting in streaks appearing in the
scanning direction.
How to adjust the density of the silver ink
• If bleeding occurred on the 100% density patch created in step 11 in "Create an Initial
Color Sample" (P.4), refer to the silver monochrome color sample to look for an ink den-
sity at which a good quality print has been achieved.
Reduce the silver ink density to match the density of the good quality patch.
ex.) If the image quality at 70% density is
good → Configure this setting to -30%
• If banding occurred on the 100% density patch created in step 11 in "Create an Initial
Color Sample" (P.4), increase the density of the silver ink.
ex.) Setting: +10% (The silver ink quantity can be changed from -50% to +50%.)

6. In the [Execution] tab, select [RIP and Print],
and then click [Start].
• If the color sample seems off, return to step 1.
