Help with Versaworks RIP please?

[Unknown Member]

I would imagine this is down to RIP engines.

All ripping softwares have RIP engines…the more you have the more jobs you can process at once.

I’m not sure if there is a work around?

I know Roland staff use these boards perhaps someone can comment here?

Hi John, my workround would be to look at ‘nesting’ the jobs to get them treated as one print run. You can select the jobs within the ‘nest’ to set parameters.

How are you finding the vs640i? We have a vs640 and would love to have the light black channel to help with greyscales with colour added which some of our clients are fond of 🙄 How about a mod kit Roland? Cost of flushing one channel (we have ccmmyklclm set up so have capacity, would sure be cheaper than trade-in! Is there a genuine technical (as opposed to sales) reason why this can’t be done?

I think it’s a glitch in the program, when it happens try dropping the same file in to the queue again, quite often it will go in fine.

I didn’t think of trying that!

I couldn’t nest it as I was still setting up one job while the other was printing.

As for the 640i I have been using a 640 for the last 3 years and I love the 640i, this is mainly because I have just gone with a straight CCMMYYKK set-up rather than the LcCLmMYKMtW, the speed with which this is printing is miles better…

Doh! of course, sorry John! 😳

On the VS640i can I ask what else do you rate on it that you find better than the VS640 – how do you find ecosomax 2 inks?
Cheers, Hugh.

Bit late I know but that usually happens when one file is ripping the ink usage estimate can’t happen until the previous rip has finished.
