Notes
   
1. Generic Profiles
These profiles are already installed on your Roland VersaWorks or ColoRip software. They may have a slightly different name to that shown on the list here. They are designed to work on a range of products. Such profiles are Generic II, GPPM, SP-M, etc.
 

2. Roland Profiles
Many Metamark products will give very good results on a profile for a similar product by an alternative manufacturer. Roland offers a very wide range of profiles so visit www.rolanddg.com to download.

 
3. Metamark MD5 Profile
You may start by trailing the product using the Metamark MD5 profile. Metamark profiles are high quality and each one is fully developed and tested. As such the Metamark MD5-100 profile is normally an excellent place to start on many products if we don't have the right profile.
 
4. 'Overprint' function
To achieve good colour vibrancy on Backlit and transparent products, there is a function in the Roland RIP to do an overprint. Go to Print Settings / select Custom and select Overprint 2
 
5. 'Colour Management'
In the Roland RIP the Colour Management is normally set to 'Pre Press Europe'. Selecting 'Max Impact', or 'Sign and Display', will give punchier colours, on any given profile.
 
5. Achieving the right colours
If you are printing an image and not achieving the desired colours, it is worth trialing a few different profiles to see which gives the best results, also see note 4.



For all these suggestions it is important to test a sample first.

 
Alternative ICC Colour Profiles - Roland Printers / Roland VersaWorks RIP
  When a specific ICC Colour Profile is not available, the following alternative profiles can give very good results. For all these it is important to always test a sample first.
