- Use Media Feed Adjustment: If enabled, an adjustment amount can be specified. Refer to Mimaki's User Manual for details regarding the unit of measure.
Color Separation
The Color Separation controls are located on the tab below.

The Color Separation controls are only available if a monochrome mode has been selected on the Print Mode tab.
- Separations on RIP: This will cause the RIP to separate the image into CMYK plates.
- Make Negative: This inverts monochrome images when printed.
- K, C, M, Y: This allows you to print monochrome images to any of the printheads.
This is especially useful to eliminate overuse of a single printhead when printing
only monochrome.
