Printing Greyscale on the ROland Soljet Pro II SC-540
Hi all, just looking for some help. I’ve got some black and white photos that I’m printing to a canvas for a client but getting a neutral greyscale image is becoming a real headache. I’m getting colour coming through, sometimes a red/pink cast or a yellow sepia style cast.
I’m using a Soljet Pro II SC-540 (Lc,Lm) running Colorip 2.0 and printing intially from Illustrator.
I’ve had this problem before but have been able to use the colour replace technique in vector graphics, but now are print bitmap images. If anyone has had the same problems before and found a solution I’d be grateful of any help.
Thanks

Are you in true greyscale or just a black and white bitmap.
Have heard mentioned before that you have to be in greyscale mode and not a black and white picture.Goop

in the setup screens of colorrip you should be able to select
eg..
sc540 720×720 monochrome as the print mode.
another way to possibly improve the quality is to do the bi-dir adjustment in the menu.
this will make sure the heads are aligned and therefore when printing a “3 colour ” grey (cmy) make the colour more neutral and sharper quality.
also a point to look at is if it id the correct profile for the media.
canvas shades can differ drastically from cold (cyan) to warm (magenta)
if the profile you are using has had the white measured and is classed as cold, the profile will be biased towards a more magenta hint to balance this out.
if your canvas is already “warm” and you use a “warm” profile the results will be especially magenta.
hope this makes a little sense.
