Mirage from Dinax

[JamesLam]

There seems to almost no info here on the Mirage software by Dinax.

Anyone here have experience they can share?

I'm running it on our Canon 4600 aqueous. It's OK, but I sure miss Fiery XF. It seems to handle colour management OK.

The presets I could create in fiery, say IJM538 Sat Mat Lam, would give me a 75mm leading edge, 50mm tailing, correct profiles and quality, a trim line all round, and presets for 24, 36 and 42".

Mirage doesn't seem to have the comprehensive log files that were available on Fiery, so when a customer asks for the same as the last job (say eight years ago), I could do a quick search of the log files and have full settings to hand). That was very useful.

Documentation sucks.

Mirage is OK and workable, and for the price, probably good value. If you've not used a mature RIP, it would probably be fine. I'd asked the dealer for Caldera, but they were sure I wouldn't need it.

Sounds like it gets the job done, but Fiery XF still lives rent-free in your head

I was perfectly prepared to drop a couple of grand on Caldera, and may still do so. It gets the job done, but it is a PITA to use after having the proper tool for the job.
