ColorSpan Print Server Software 8.9x Release Notes
Version 8.97
Release Notes
◆ Support for the DisplayMaker 72S and DisplayMaker 72SR digital solvent printer.
◆ ICC Composite Workflow — supported for DisplayMaker 72S/72SR, DisplayMaker X-12,
DisplayMaker Mach 12, DisplayMaker Esprit, DisplayMaker Series XII.
◆ The server can now accept composite print jobs that were created using an ICC profile.
It is no longer necessary to send the job as color separations, as with previous versions
of the ColorMark Print Server Software and the ColorMark+ Advanced Color Manage-
ment System. For further information, see “Using an ICC Composite Workflow” on
page 3.
◆ Rick Black — the color black is created by combining all four ink colors, a technique
called “Rich Black.” In previous versions, the color black optionally could be created by
printing with black ink only (“Pure Black”). Pure Black was effective only in a small
number of cases, and often caused a visible anomaly called “bronzing” in black areas
of images. For these reasons, the Pure Black option has been removed.
◆ Ink remaining percentage — for the DisplayMaker 72S/SR only, the ink remaining per-
centages have been removed from the Printer Status dialog box. For ink remaining indi-
cations, refer to the Ready for Refill LEDs and press the Media & Ink button on the
control panel’s Front Page screen.
