  • Sp300v where to start with profiles?

    Posted by Damian Blackburn on 28 March 2012 at 21:44

    Hi, just got my sp300v up and running and been looking at versaworks. Been doing a few test prints and the colours that have near or 100% in them are perfect but some others look grainy! Where do I start with the profiles? I have been on the ritrama as I am using ri jet 100 but there profiles wont open in versaworks. I would love some help on this please?

    I use the Roland profile that comes with Versaworks but I’m using Ecosol max inks.

    I am very new to printing! What’s MD5 profile? Sorry if I am sounding stupid.

    I tend to use the Oracal 3164 profile for all my vinyl work. Its whatever you find works best for you.

    The only time I alter is if I set it to do "Max Impact" rather than the standard setting, specially if I want my colours to really pop out.

    I tend to go to http://download.rolanddg.jp/en/color.html for my profiles, might be an obvious one but you can use the SP540v profiles on the 300 and vice versa.

    The Roland engineer who serviced my machine told me that the Metamark MD5 profile works for most materials, and I haven’t had a problem, except that ‘mixed’ colours often look grainy, but improves with heat -printing cold increases graininess.

    I think that changing from RGB to CMYK improves this? My best buy since the Versacamm has to be the Pantone/RGB to CMYK converter book.

    It does seem to be the mixed colours I have problems with. The solids I can get perfect. Maybe it’s me being to fussy.
