Versaworks cannot render 16-bpp RGB files to my knowledge, only 8-bpp files are supported in that RIP. I woudl expect that a raster RGB file from Photoshop (where the same RGB working space is being used throughout the workflow) would yield the most consistent result for a gradient-related...

I would expect that the different paper is the largest reason for the differences in vibrancy that you see beteen the Roland and Canon. If you print on inexpensive, bond paper on the Canon, my guess is that the gamuts would be similar.

The Blox-Lite media does not image well with any solvent ink that I know of, and Converd does not recommend solvent ink with this product. Latex and UV-Curing inks work well with it.

Run the Printhead alignment calibration, and possibly a bi-directional alignment calibration if the problem only occurs when you print bi-directionally. These are user-level calibrations that you can run w/o the need for a field service engineer. Here is a link...

The display calibration sustem (i1 display pro) has value regardless of the spot color system that you are using, including the Roland Color System. It will not affect the printed output directly, but should dramatically improve your ability to see accurate color on the display.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the HP L25500 is no longer available (new), but the good news is that there is a new model, called the L26500 that should begin shipping later this month. List price is $2,000 more than the L25500.

The high ink setting is for extremely absorptive media, such as fabric, to be able to get more ink down to obtain a saturated result. Vinyls (both banner and adhesive) have no need for high ink, as the ink does not permeate into the media as it does on fabric. High ink is used in only with high...

All of those settings are defined by the person who created the media. Your options include: 1) Locate a different media profile (not just ICC profile) for your media product. This may be available from the manufacturer of the media, or from SAi (developer of the RIP), or from a 3rd-party. You...

Roland (VS640) and Mimaki do.

Just a guess, but if he is looking to drive the dedicated cutter from Versaworks (Roland's RIP) for print-cut, it is a non-starter unless you use Roland hardware. He would need a different RIP to do this.

If you are using the Roland Color System (as you mentioned), you should be good to go with reproducing Roland Colors. This is assuming that you: 1. Have previously printed out one of the Roland color charts on the same media that you will be printing the production job on, and are making the...

Good post. Getting back to the original post, I have re-printed panels on the L25500 on the HP PVC-free wallcovering media, and the colors have matched perfectly. Far more consistent in fact than the solvent machines that I've got. I do monitor and take steps to keep a reasonably stable...

There is a town of that name in Ohio as I recall...just don't ask me to pronounce it.

There is at least one 3rd-party latex inkset available for the HP latex printers today, and as they proliferate in the marketplace, it would be increasingly likely that more will appear on the scene. Migration to these lower-cost inks would redule the ability of HP to dramatically increase the...

I think the real question is, what is the upcharge that is needed to include the silver ink in the job? I believe that the cost per ml for the silver is roughly 4x (~$240 vs ~$65 [for 220ml]) that of the other colors, and would assume that you would need charge accordingly. Is that right? To...

I love my Motorola Bionic! (I had waited for the damn thing to ship since CES). Battery life was my main concern, but aggressive configuration of Advanced Task Killer gives me 2-3 days between recharges, and that is in a 4G area.

When you design files that will be printed on one device and cut on another (or the same device for that matter), how much trap (if any) do you use? In other words, if you do not want any white space around the object, do you set the cut path directly on the edge of the object, or do you inset...

Monitor = i1Pro w/ i1Profiler Printer = i1Pro w/ Onyx / Wasatch/ Caldera/ SAi/ EFI/ i1Profiler/ PMP5

Leave the unit powered on at all times. Lift the pinch roller wheels and it will go into low-power sleep mode after a period of inactivity (~30 minutes).

:popcorn: It is a great question. While I have my opinions on this, I would prefer to hear the thoughts of end-users of the equipment.
