Important Announcement

Please note that this manual aims to help you set the dispensing software Redlike 2 correctly. There are some steps which must be taken prior to Redlike 2 installation such as any driver installation and licensing of third-party products. DESO development is not responsible for such applications and cannot provide support for them.

Documentation about other products but Redlike 2 shared here is purely informational and it is only a suggestion for our customers. Other drivers, their versions and instances not described in this document may result in a different behaviour.

  • Windows – you have Colorlink 3 installed and operating with the machine (tested via service.exe)
  • Linux – you have Service installed and operating with the machine
  • Color Expert must not be installed (careful! when uninstalling, all machine configuration uninstalls as well – backup must be made)

• Machine
  • your machine has been calibrated and configured
