Thanks mate, got it working but having lots of fun redoing all the colours as the old SP300 produces a different shade to the VS540I even when using the same cmyk values. Nice printer though, I really needed silver and white as 90 percent of my jobs are small motorcycle decals. Just got to be...

OK, Think I found an answer, there is a check box in the file section of versa works that allows it to process spot colors, this was not ticked, cant imagine why you have the option but sounds like what I need to tick, Haven't tried it yet but think that will fix it

Not sure whats up, But I got the spot color names from the metallic color chart within versa works, checked and re-checked the naming convention but cant get it to work. When I created the spot colours just used freehand and created a new spot color with zero CMYK and called it RVW-MT-Gold...

OK, Got the sliver and white printing fine, but having huge problems getting anything for the metallic color chart to print. For example, made a spot color, same format as RDG_White but this time typed in RVW-MT-Gold and nothing prints out, tried every color on the metallic chart but nothing...

OK, Many thanks signmeup, that worked brilliantly, made a spot colour with zero, cmyk, called it RDG_MetallicSilver and worked a treat. I have printed out the colour chart but just have to work out if there is a naming convention to print these, I did try to print one colour off the metallic...

OK, I was told to use 877C from the pantone metalic swatches but can't seem to get that to work, So do you mean to make a spot color and call it RDG_MetallicSilver and versa works will interpret that as pure silver ??

Hi All Just updated my Roland SP300 to a VS540I, mainly because I need to print silver decals. or decals with silver content. Have been using Freehand for over 10 years now and know it well. In the past was exporting .eps files to the sp300 and printing them out nicely. Now though I cant...

Does this sound feasible. I have some decals to print that require silver components. In the past I have just printed on plain vinyl and cut silver bits from seperate media and slipped them in and then clear laminated over the top. It works but its time consuming and prone to misalignment. I...

Hey, thanks Bobby, you're a bloody legend, that worked like a charm!!!!

I just ran out of Cyan ink in my SP300, usually keep a spare cart but changing over to Bordeaux inks soon so haven't a spare. No shops open here til 7th of Jan. Aaaargh, I just need to do some cutting but it seems since I set ink control to "cont" the machine refuses to start up and just sits...

A potential customer called me the other day and asked if I could cut out some bumper stickers for him. It seems he has received a shipment of bumper stickers that have not been cut out. I proceeded to tell him I could easily make him some new stickers and cut them out on my SP300 but he...

How often do you have a problem and then find exactly the answer you are looking for. Probably not often but this is exactly what my SP300 is doing. So it seems I need a new capping station, Cap tops??. Question is, does this get replaced in a normal 6 month service?? My machine is about due...
