Does anybody know where to get a Pantone Color chart i can print out on my roland??? I already have a the roland swatches printed out which is helpful. but pantone colors would be a nice addition.

Pms If I try to print a PMS color to the roland xc540 its always off from the original PMS Swatch..

... Same here, but what if they made all the pantones into spot colors that match the pantone swatches?!

Photoshop.. Photoshop is a great tool for printing anything with drop shadows, inner glows and any transparency effects. Illustrator or other programs tend to cause problems with gradients and effects sometimes, at least when I print to the roland it does... With photoshop you dont need to...

... sounds like theyre kinda saying that you can match PMS colors with it.. that would be great but yea they arent very clear as to exactly what it can do..

Has anybody tried Spot On color matching software? The link is below... It seems they are claiming to be able to make the spot colors match PMS colors... http://www.extremeinkjet.com/SpotOn_p/spoton.htm

=) Awesome! Thanks!

Im having a problem, I want to print a Roland color chart from versaworks on TRANSLUCENT Vinyl, I'm using the Roland XC 540. When I go to the menu and select the color chart the only color profile it lets me use is GENERIC VINYL I. Why Cant I select any other media profiles to use for the color...

yes Gradients made in photoshop and saved to a tif usually work just fine for me. I never print JPEGS, only pdf, eps , or Tif

.. yes rasterizing worked.. I also found that if using a roland swatch in a gradient the printer converts colors or does not read them correctly..

Im printing signs with gradients onto a roland xc540 from illustrator.. I was messing with color profiles last week because it wasnt printing grey swatches properly. Now it is leaving out one of the gradients colors and leaving it as White.. Im not sure what exactly i have to change in the...

yea I printed the sign without the drop shadows on my text.. the color is fine without the drop shadows. the drop shadow is what's creating the problem.. yet when i used a drop shadow with any other swatch as my background i had no issues at all... I give up on this nonsense. It is something...

.. No i have not made any profiles and dont think we have software to do so. THanks for the help I do understand what you are saying its just a bit hard communicating over the net vs. in person..

,, So i know for sure that it is an output problem with the profiles now. What can i do to change it? should i find my own cmyk values that match the swatch color without using pure K values of 50%?

Yes i eyedroppered the drop shadow and it just comes up with no fill, no stroke. Im gona do a test print of 50% black.. I know for sure the drop shadow is the issue as the swatch by itself is fine and so are all other swatches. They match our color chart very closely

.. the grey im using is roland BK-11 . the CMYK value on it is just 50% black and no other colors... are you saying i have to change the media profiles in versaworks? Or the rgb or cmyk profiles that are assigned the the adobe programs im using? Thanks for the feedback. It also seems hard to...

... Yes i understand that it is not a roland swatch once its rasterized... Im just saying that the colors that are printed appear the same as what ever swatches ive used in my files even though it has been rasterized, Im fully aware that it is no longer a roland swatch and they are converted to...

no.. I meant that when i tried printing it as an EPS it picks up roland swatches.. Versaworks does Not read roland swatches when i export as Tiff from photoshop. Yet the output when printed from a photoshop tiff usually matches whatever color swatch im trying to match.. Ive tried...
