Free with purchase of Roland printer
Whether you need an uncomplicated RIP solution for fast and easy printing, or you’re looking to upgrade to the latest, feature-packed RIP software, VersaWorks 6 expands your printer capabilities and maximizes the power of your Roland devices.
Roland VersaWorks 6 is included with new purchases of selected Roland printers or as a free upgrade for VersaWorks Dual users.
With a modern, new user interface, you can quickly master the drag-and-drop tools in VersaWorks 6 — instantly adding jobs to the queue and effortlessly managing the print output on your Roland device. It also features the latest HARLEQUIN RIP dual-core engine, intelligent new color matching, and other new features to enhance the world’s most popular RIP software.
To maximize the color reproduction capability and the color gamut provided by your printer and inks, we developed a new True Rich Color preset. Now vibrant color can be combined with neutral grays, smooth gradations and natural skin tones to create stunning graphics. This pioneering color expression is unequalled for durable graphics.
VersaWorks 6 includes 64-bit native support to maximize performance of the latest 64-bit OS. It improves processing capability for complicated data, including PDF files with complex vectors and multiple layers, with power and accuracy.
Note: A 32-bit binary RIP will be installed automatically if the installer detects a 32-bit OS.
VersaWorks 6 is even more intuitive thanks to a redesigned user interface consistent with the latest design trends. Its simpler, flat design offers expanded visibility for a better user experience. Intuitive icons and a monotone look improve ease-of-use.
The latest VersaWorks 6 is equipped with a “Job Assistant” function that can automatically add contour lines for cutting PDF design data within the RIP software. Even if the cut contour line is missing in a submitted file, printing and cutting can now be performed quickly without returning to the design editing software, allowing jobs with short delivery times to be reliably met.
VersaWorks 6 offers an easy-to-use color matching function to ensure consistent color between multiple same-model printers when using the same ink type*. Now, you can choose to produce volume work from one client with multiple printers, or print a large, combined graphic with two printers, all with consistent color. VersaWorks 6 can compensate for color differences caused by aging or replacement print heads, too.
* Valid only when using the same model printers with the same ink type and configuration. Files must be printed with the same print settings including “Media Type” and “Print Quality.”
The following new features offer an easier and more intuitive way to match color output.
VersaWorks 6 allows you to have five separate queues with distinct settings applied to jobs automatically. Each queue offers unlimited saved settings, allowing you to store necessary print setting information according to specific customer requirements and media for recurring jobs. In addition, each queue can have a hot folder to improve production such as when there are multiple designers working in one location.
Traditionally, when you wanted to specify a special color layer like white, metallic, gloss/clear and primer, you needed to perform this task in your design software. With VersaWorks 6, you can set-up a special color layer directly in the RIP along with fine adjustments to the position and size of a special color layer all performed in VersaWorks 6.
As well as featuring a built-in PANTONE® library with detailed spot color matching and choices, VersaWorks 6 supports comprehensive color libraries and offers features that enable automated color-matching of logos and other corporate identity elements.
In order to respond to the diverse color matching needs of printing businesses, such as accurately reproducing an intended color, precisely printing a corporate color specified by the client, or managing the printer so that the same color is always output, a spectrophotometer is essential.
The latest VersaWorks 6 supports drivers for spectrophotometers from major manufacturers widely used in the wide format printing field, such as X-rite’s i1 series and Barbieri’s Spectro LFP series.
