Existing Roland inkjet customers can upgrade to Version 4.0 free of charge
through an Internet connection using the Roland@NET service.
“VersaWorks is an exceptionally robust, true Adobe PostScript 3 RIP ensuring
outstanding production output and ease of use,” said Hiroshi Ono, senior product
manager for Roland. “We are pleased to offer VersaWorks 4.0 to our Roland inkjet
customers free of charge, reflecting our ongoing commitment to providing them
with the most advanced technology available.”
Fully compatible with Windows 7, Vista, XP and 2000, VersaWorks 4.0 offers
several new enhancements including error diffusion for outstanding print quality
and an Advanced Job Log feature that allow users to export job information such
as printing length and ink consumption into Excel supported file formats.
New Metallic Spot Color Library
With the introduction of Version 4.0, VersaWorks now includes more than 500
metallic colors in the Roland Metallic Color Library, part of the Roland Color
matching system. This spot color library supports users of VersaCAMM VS-640 and
SOLJET PRO III XC-540MT inkjets and includes silver, gold, bronze and a range of
pearlescent colors. More than 1,000 standard spot colors are also available in
the Roland Color System supporting all Roland inkjets.
The Roland Color System allows users to print spot color charts and swatch
books on any media. These reference tools help customers choose the best spot
color to match a corporate logo or team color. Roland Color System spot colors
can then be reproduced on the same media with 100 percent accuracy every time.
For users of Roland’s VersaUV LEC LED-UV inkjet printer/cutters, VersaWorks
4.0 now features more than 70 textures in the Roland Texture System Library that
can be produced using the LEC’s clear coat ink.
Powerful Printing and Cutting Options
Other VersaWorks features include several print options to match the demands
of each job. Users can choose from high-speed mode for production banner
printing, the MAX Impact preset for vivid outdoor graphics and Artistic mode for
exceptional indoor graphics. VersaWorks features Variable Data Printing,
supports up to four Roland devices simultaneously and offers support for
Roland’s GX series cutters which allows professionals to manage stand-alone
cutting operations or pair a Roland cutter with select Roland inkjet printers
for print/cut applications. VersaWorks automatically estimates the ink usage and
print time for each graphic to accurately monitor time and costs.
VersaWorks also offers embedded ICC profile support, ink level adjustment
tools, software proofing capabilities, and advanced cropping, tiling and nesting
options. The PerfCut function enables users of Roland printer/cutters to produce
precision perforated cut lines.
