Just picked up an older SC-540 for a song and dance. Needs a little TLC to get it back to running shape. A print head, a roller, thorough cleaning etc...
Came with a RIP computer and it has Roland ColorRIP 2.2 (circa 2003)
I've been plucking around with this program, seems very rudimentary and not what I'm used to. Anyway, managed to run a test strip squares that was created in Illustrator and sent over to the RIP as an .eps
There are profiles preloaded based on media/speed/resolution etc. However, my usual test squares (that I always test print with) print the same (poor) on every profile. How can this be?
Reds are more orange, yellow doesn't seem quite as vibrant as it should be.
WHERE SHOULD I START? How do you profile with this RIP? I'm not a typical Roland user, so I'm kinda in the dark on how to dial this machine in. I should add that I'm the Art Director pretending to be (rather forced to be) the printer tech... haha! Apparently because I've owned my own sign shop before and had a couple printers, this makes me the expert!
