Soljet - Versaworks - Greyscale issues

[jester2kx]

Does anyone know how to print a true greyscale image out of Versaworks? I am using that and a soljet sc545-ex and can not work it out at all.

I have a picky customer that NEEDS to grey color that will not print correctly, because he gets really close and sees cyan and magenta in it. I am very close to just telling him to take a hike, but I figured i would ask for my own knowlage as well.

I have tried using a color out of Illustrator like k30% and nothing else, and it still shoots out some other colors. Also I have tried bringing in the image into photoshop and turning it greyscale, and it still prints out color.

Any one have any ideas?

Thanks!

Can't find it now on Roland's site, but the xc540 printed green-tinted grays when it was first installed. There's a pdf file for getting grays to print gray from Versaworks properly.

I have the pdf from Roland, but I don't believe we can post pdf files here. If you can't find it, email me and I'll forward the pdf to you.

Not sure if this will help you at all, but its a start...

Click the link below, and look for 'the Grayscale Printing' item.

Raster or Vector?


Regardless, I always open up a vector file in PS and change the mode to GREYSCALE to remove color information. Then save as .tiff or .jpg

Then in Versawerks, go into settings/color management/ Preset and click the properties button. then select custom and check the 'preserve primary colors' box. It should only print from the black cart.

Your laughing.
