Still more issues with VersaWorks and RVW spot colors

[Gene@mpls]

So... some spots are sent to the printer wrong as below: Notice the difference between Library output and printer output

But isn't that right? - the RIP is changing the output to accurately reflect the Roland spot color on your printer?

On our VP-540, RVW-ST22H shows output as 69.8 / 34.9 / 0 / 20

It's your profile.....

I had the same trouble with printing from the Roland color chart. I was trying to use Oracal and generic Versaworks profiles. I switched to 3M media and used their canned profiles, Problem solved.

Be sure to change your default profile in the queue.

The correct cmyk is the library colors- for some reason VW is changing the mix of colors. This happens sporaticly- I am suspecting that
the program may be corrupted. I have been fixing this on a case by case basis but will spend the time to reload the prog on the weekend
and see if that helps. It often changes to a completely different color and displays the new color in the output column- from a blue to a
green for instance. I have used VW for 5 years and never seen this before- altho honestly I never had a reason to look at the detail
screen in printer>spot color. What is the library output for the color you checked... I cannot believe it should not be either the same
(which the ones that print as expected are) or very close.

I don't believe that the profile is doing this- spot colors are not affected by the .icc profile. Also there are few profiles for this printer-
it is a dual cmyk version of the VS without the cut function. I am using a .icc from Orajet btw.
