Thanks all. I don't have Corel and jfiscus' chart will not work as the colors are not named with the convention that
Vworks is looking for. It needs to be designated as a spot color and named with what VWorks recognizes (ie - PANTONE 804 C).
I would like to print a new PMS chart with my new printer/ink and noticed that there is a spot library
for PMS c . I have not found a chart that has the colors named correctly. Gene
Good thoughts- I did more google work and found this:
Although media profiles are ignored, VersaWorks uses calibration and ink limit information from the media profile, so it’s still important to select the correct profile. Choosing an incorrect media profile in VersaWorks may result in the...
I use Vworks and I am pretty much happy with it. I have a RF and profiles are pretty scanty and very slow for this machine. We print almost
exclusively Roland Spot colors and print only what we design. My spot colors are over saturated and dry slowly... my understanding is they
are not...
I have been running my RF pretty hard for a month (probably a dozen rolls of media) and it was still printing fine but I thought
maybe I should do a cleaning on it. The wiper and wiper carriage were really gucked up... with stalactites of dried ink hanging from the
carriage. The scraper was...
My advice is do not pay a cent for the machine until it is in your shop, set up, and you have run it for 12 weeks, and all features are working 100% as advertised. You could put the cash in a holding account, to be released upon satisfactory performance. Once you pay, good luck, from my...
This looks like a very industrial show? What aspect of 3D are you interested in... printing (additive), scanning, machining...? I am interested
as well but kind of a rube on most of it. Gene
What are you using for a take up? OEM or aftermarket? Perhaps which printer would be helpful also. I build my own TU so that I can slip
the tube off without the motions that seem to be required for the Roland TU. Also I like them up off the floor as I am old and infirm. When I
tape the media...
A Shopbot Buddy (BT-32) is 24x32 and was my first machine. I think it was about 6k used and was a real education for me before I moved up. They also come as
a 24x48 (BT-48) which can be fairly easily upgraded to a 48x48 which is a very useful size. Again the support system is extraordinary...
I dropped one 15 years ago and it seems like it was about $50 then... but I am getting kinda senile. Lotta beer under the bridge
since then. :rock-n-roll:
Last week was our first week using the new printer full time. This is our 3rd Roland and if this is similar to the last two we clean every 2-4 weeks depending on the
season (we have seasons here ) or when print quality falls off. Gene
Here is a review: http://3d-printers.toptenreviews.com/ultimaker-review.html
I am thinking of a first 3d printer but kinda favoring SLA like the Nobel 1 which is supposed to come out 3rd qtr I think.

We are just swapping a new RF into our workflow. I don't believe there are many in the States and most dealers don't know a lot about them. I have
a thread already going with what I know about it. Seems to print nice and the speed is coming along (about 20% faster than our VP540 at this point)...
