Roland Colorip

[Chris Wool]

not to my knowledge but roland do offer a upgrade not dear. and a few more benifits.

if you speak to roland ask about going to versaworks not all sp machines can but i think a better path if you can

Thank you for your advice. 🙂

[Robert Lambie]

do you know if the actual machine can be upgraded to be used by versaworks chris?
versaworks is a very good software, we have it for one of our machines but wish i had both running from it.

Apparently the SP300 has the wrong board installed not like the SP300V.
I think when i asked the other year, it was going to be a big cost? unless anyone knows any different?

yes you need to change the pcb.board about 10 minutes work but about a grand for the board.

versaworks is a big inprovement over colorip but still crap with handling pdfs.

trying ringing roland direct, tell them that you plan on using roland ecosol inks and they might do you a cheap deal on new heads, pump and PCB Board.

cost me about £900 on my sp300 and the machine now runs like new and i got a 12 month warranty on everything best £900 i have spent for years..

colour rip is ok for me it dos what i want well with my sc540 ex.
ecosol max inks.
the best set of profiles are from allprint supplies.
i don’t like being left behind with a rip but i would not spend a load of dosh for little gain.
the ability to run the printer from any computer with colourrip loaded,
i do not wish to be tied to one computer for the rip.

my problem will come as robs is when you try to integrate a new machine with my old one.
in the mean time it ain’t broke so not fixing it.

i have stopped using all print supplies my last few orders were contaminated, rolls since they stopped supplying the ds3000 range there new range of LG vinyls are very poor.

My opinion only, but have gone back to Metamark
