Looking for another RIP

[Robert Lambie]

whats up with troop mate?

[Russell Huffer]

Hi Rob,

Nothing at all wrong with Wasatch, I have found it a great RIP. However things have changed big time for me here resulting in a merge/buyout meaning that the final company is called ASAP All Signs All Print and we have two offices.

I have moved to new office in Welwyn Garden City but my Grenadier remains at our Letchworth Garden City office, as I do most of the printing I took the newest printer so I now have a Mimaki JV33 and matching CG FX cutter, these are fantastic bits of kit but the software supplied RasterLink III would not run on my PC as they do not like 64 bit Vista only choice I had to get work out the door was to use my Wasatch as this was a full version.

Wasatch is running the Mimaki setup so well, it does the cutter as well so print and cut is spot on that it seems a shame to change it but we need a way to run the Roland / Grenadier and can not use Versaworks as non V model.

Hence the reqest if someone has a copy of troop but now use Versaworks for example.

Many thanks

Russell.

Hi there
I have wasatch but have never been able to get enough ICC profiles for it. Can you help me Russell?

[Chris Wool]

russell do you mean you want the roland rip, then you can download colourrip 2.2 from the roland site. that will drive a non V grenadier with black as the first head.

Hi Jack,

I was running Activasol Premium inks on my Grenadier these are made by Nazdar I belive and are not the same as the original Activasol and do need different profiles, because of this I had a profiler come in and profile the most common matreials i use MD5, MD3, Banner and litestop all from Metamark.

You are wecome to a copy of these profiles if you run Activasol premium, if you are running original Activasol you should be able to get the profiles from B&P. Failing that try Wasatch website that even has profiles for my Mimaki JV33 on it and Wasatch/Mimaki is not a common partnership.

Chris,

I do have black head first it is on the left as you stand in front of the machine, will try to download colourrip later.

Kind regards

Russell.

Thanks
Chris,
I am currently running on Lyson Ink and am quite happy with it. Currently running it with versaworks under standard Roland ICC profiles as it was guaranteed to be a plug-and-play conversion. I will ask my Lyson Ink supplier to get me ICC profiles for my updated Wasatch 6.8 (Which I haven’t been able to use since I got it as there are only 2 profiles on their Website). I can’t help you withyour RIP situation, sorry.

Hi Russell,

Do you have the details of who did your profiling? It is something we are
looking into, and it would be good to perhaps use someone by recommendation.

Many thanks,
Jamie.

Hi Jamie,

I had my profiles done by a guy called Robert Boddington

http://www.pdis-graphics.co.uk

Very good guy been doing profiles for a long time and has all the right kit to back up his experience.

Kind regards

Russell.

[Ian Hatfield]

We have used Rob as well and is by far the best guy I have had in to do profiling by far.

Thanks for the info.
