Hey, I recently acquired a Roland sc540 Printer, but the RIP software that was bundled with the machine "Color Rip" was not included in this. As far as I know the rip was bundled with the machine on it's release. If anyone knows where that can be downloaded or have a copy they can send me it would be appreciated.

Doesnt work that way. RIP software (most) only work with a key, who ever has the key, owns the software. I have a couple of differant RIP's I could send you "copys" of, but none of them would work.
you might mean Roland versaworks which does not require a key at all and can be downloaded from rolands website https://www.rolanddga.com/
Can you send me the copy please. My email address is sales@printhubvic.com.au.

One other important think to keep in mind.
I have an SP-300 that was New in late 2004 and it works perfectly and I really love this printer.
When I upgraded my computer system I ran into one problem and that was I have always used ColorRip software and have never had any issues with it but there are no updated drivers that I could find that work either Windows 7 or 8
I simply installed an A-B switch from my New computer with Windows 7 and my old computer which is running XP
For anyone using ColorRip thinking about upgrading their computer do not get rid of your old computer unless you are changing your Rip or can find updated drivers that will work.
My SP-300 is so easy to take care of and run that I have resisted the temptation to upgrade to a newer model.

One of my printers is a Roland FJ-540 which, of course, uses Colorip. I am using version 2.2 and have no problems running under either Windows 7 or 8. If you are not using ver 2.2, maybe the upgrade will allow you to get rid of that old XP computer.
I am using ColorRip 2.2 now.
You think this will work with Windows 7
You know come to think of it I don't remember trying it first!!!!
Once I realized there were no updated drivers for ColorRip and Windows 7 I simply started thinking of other ways to make it work.
So you download the ColorRip into a Windows 7 computer and it worked?
Thanks for the tip.

I can confirm, Versaworks will not work with an SC540. I believe it has something to do with the fact that the SC540 has a different print head order, starting with black.
ColorRIP or a 3rd Party Rip such as Onyx.

No I can also confirm that Versaworks 3+ works with SC540. I've used that before. But I think ver 5 and above requires a dongle

It came with ColorChoice 4.5 which is basically FlexiSign 7.6 or Photoprint.
Hello I have sp300v and versaworks can't verify the inks. Please help

Colorchoice was a Scanvec Amiable (today SAi) Flexiprint/Photoprint OEM which works with older Roland Printers like Hifijet/Cammjet/Colorcamm PC-600 and Soljet SC-500. No Dongle.
Colorip was a Wasatch Softrip OEM which works with Hifijet/Soljet Pro II, for example the SC-540 or the SP-300. No Dongle.
Versaworks is a Roland-Exclusive RIP-Software which works with Soljets since 2005, for example with the SC-545/SJ-645/SJ-745 (not the same as the SC-540) or the Versacamm SP-300V. No Dongle, but Versaworks will check the type of printer connected and will not work with older printers (except the SP-300 if you know how to manipulate the mainboard, but with a SP-300 you have no legal licence of Versaworks). As far as I remember there was a dongle version for specific printers.
So for a SC-540 you need a Colorip which is really outdated, or some commercial RIP to buy. You can use Flexi or Onyx by subscription too,
