SP540V – black & white
Hello.
Can anyone tell me how to achieve properly black & white image print. I’ve change picture in photoshop (desaturate and other stuff) but when you printing you can still see how printer mixing all the colors to give some grey shades. Is it any option to switch the CMY off?
I’m using SignLab for printing.
To be honest I didn’t try Versacamm for that – maybe it is something there.Mike

There will be something in the RIP software for MONOCHROME printing.
I don’t use SL for printing (Wasatch) and easy enough from there.
Would say that it can be advisable to increase the amount of ink being laid down when just using black as opposed to normal CMYK for the sake of a better density.

convert the image to greyscale in signlab.
then it will print using only K (does on my mimaki anyway)

OK. I’ll try that.
Thank you for help

Even if you convert it to Greyscale, it will still make it up with colours if you use a normal profile in your rip programme. You need to set the rip to use black only. I don’t know about printing direct from Signlab though.

Hi
I was looking for info on how to print no colour at all, and found this thread. However it has no conclusion.
Does anyone know how to print ONLY black in versworks, SP540V?Thanks.

Aha! I have found out that it is Photoshop that doesnt do blacks…it tries to make them into "rich blacks" that print somewhat greenish, so even with DENSITY CONTROL ONLY in versaworks, it follows the photoshop colours.
I imported the same file into illustrator, removed the colour, and used that file instead and got proper black and white.As you were, chaps!
