    I seem to be experiencing a new problem with our Roland XC 540.

    Whenever we attempt to print a 40% Black ie: Grey, it is coming out Green/Blue.
    We never seem to be able to print a pure Grey?

    Has anyone else experienced this problem?

    When you have a only K vector image or a grayscale photo you can force the plotter to print only with the black cartridge select in VersaWorks "Preserve Primary Colors" in the Color Management Properties windows.
    Here a screenshot:

    Ryan, yep grey is the awkward one and requires good material profile.

    I suspect you are running two rips now in your setup… did one come with a X-rite so u can start getting materials setup right?

    It would have appeared to have been a software issue.

    We reverted to an earlier state, performed a software update and the problem has been solved!

    Thanks, a great help as usual. 😀

    Look for an option such as ‘mono print’. Shiraz has this option and I’m sure other RIP’s do too. It uses only the K channel to produce the job instead of trying to make a grey out of 4 colours. It is then impossible for the RIP to print any colour.
