The colours on screen, are they corel colours or have you imported the Roland swatch. The swatch is important as is a pantone chart.
Never go by monitor colours -

Aye im using Versaworks but i downloaded the latest version about a month ago.

Calibrate you work flow and create profiles.
Is your monitor correct and your printer out, or is you printer correct and your monitor out?
Obviously your output wants to match a swatch as close as possible but you do need a monitor setup at least close.
If you don’t have your monitor setup how can you tell if the file is correct or way off?

we use PDF method of transferring files to our RIP, to us it gives more ‘correct’ colours to what is expected, the screen is only as good as the choice of monitor. We find it to be 95% colour accurate.
You might find illustrator looks better and corel has a slight flatness to the way it draws the screen… its all about profiling.
We use mimaki so cant comment on roland/versaworks

Dave, 95% is very good, Profiles for versaworks are very good and printing pantones I have found good too. I save everything to eps to print but any problem files go to PDF with no problems.
Nick, can you get the profiles and spot colours from Roland? -
How do i do this?? Im pretty new to all this and still finding my way.
