Konica Minolta micropress release 6 User Manual

Contains commands for controlling calibration and trapping. Additional items for media and 

cassette management are not applicable with MicroPress.

MP-RIP was designed to handle media independently of the Media and Cassette Managers. 

As a result, these options are not applicable with MicroPress devices.

You must enable trapping management features by password.

1 Select MP-RIP

ÎConfigure RIP… Click Extras…

2 Highlight the “TrapWorks" option. Press the Add… button.
3 Enter password and click OK. Once entered, the Micro-

Press RIP creates a "Trapping Manager" option on the 
Output menu. Trapping configurations are created in this 
manager.

Trapping compensates for registration errors in the printing process. TrapWorks is a powerful 

tool that performs trapping in the RIP on all jobs from any application or platform. Once con-

figured, running TrapWorks is as easy as choosing a different page setup in the RIP.
The sections below discuss errors due to misregistration and various ways of correcting them 

as useful background information for setting up TrapWorks without prior trapping experience. 

To immediately configure a trapping setup, go to the section Creating Trapsets.
Misregistration and Visible Errors

Color objects may share boundaries that mark a change from one color to another. For 

example, a change on the border between yellow and magenta objects. Ideally, the transition 

gives a crisp border. However, with any real machine or process, some error occurs. The 

magenta ink may print slightly off the yellow border, leaving a noticeable white streak. Or the 

magenta may overlap the yellow, leaving a red mark. Fringes of different colors may be seen 

where colors mix in unintended combinations. This is misregistration.

Input Profile

Installs the ICC profile as an input profile (e.g., MicroPress Default RGB).

Named colors

Available if you install a profile specifically created for named (spot) colors.

Device Link Profile

Available if you install an ICC “device link” profile, which connects two ICC profiles together 
(input to output) and performs color translations directly.

Emulation

Not available.

Device Profile

Installs the ICC profile as a device (or output) profile. You must choose a device in the For 
Device field.

For Device

Sets the output device associated with the device profile.

Resample on Install

Resampling may reduce the size of the profile and save disk space, but may also result in 
less accurate color reproduction. Don’t select unless disk space is an issue.
