B & W form Versacamm
Prepared an image in Photoshop, set to grayscale and saved as a tiff. When I print via Signlab it is in B & W, although because of incorrect profile I get a print with a series of fine lines across the image.
When i print via Roland Colorip, I get a blue cast to the image, it even ran out of Magenta when printing !!!,
Looked at all the menus , but can’t see an obvious setting which prints the image only using black ink. Is this something the Versacamm is capable of ???
BTW printing onto photographic paper

Tried cmyk and just use k maybe!
Or try this
The fine lines could be because of another reason.
I was told to avoid this in the setup choose 8 passes for the head gets rid of the lines when looked at close up (uses same ink as four apparently print at 720x720dpi and to get a smooth gradient use unidirectional instead of bi-directional meaning the head prints one way.give it a whir an let me know thats what I would try anyway. the 4 to 8 passes makes a huge difference.
Hope this helps.
PS noticed that you are a Vcamm
I use a Cadet don’t know if it makes any difference wouldn’t think so.Goop

Thanks Goop, set it to uni and 8 passes, The image quality has improved dramtically, but so has the print speed !!!!, Wished I had tried 8 passes at Bi directional first !!!.
Still would like to be able to reproduce the same, identical image using the Roland Colorip though. Even tried take the CMY lines on the colour curves all down to zero, but made no difference.

If you go to the roland site the have a pdf book the secret of print and cut or something like that and reading it they recommend doing all digital work in RGB to take advantage of the printers colour gamut.
Is it a large file send it to me if you like. i dont or should say haven’t used colour rip yet just let signlab do it and sometimes saturate the colours for more pow. But i am trying out flexi just now and find it very user friendly and colours vibrant
by the way I have a 2 mb download speed so file size is not really an issue.

Tim.
sounds like you are possibly using the wrong profile for the media.
also in co lour rip under setup is a co lour separation rule which you are able to colour correct the grey scale for that media. when you get to grips with it you can print black ink only. but at the moment it uses all the colours to make a grey up to about 60% black that is where the cast normally come from. in the colour rip help it tries to explain it. thats as far as i gotchris
