Swatches and sample prints?

[blackicefx]

I noticed in a Roland pdf informational that you can print out swatches, sticker swatches, and other color charts on each media you use for color matching assistance. I have no idea how to print these or where to find them. Any help?

Thanks,

Be sure to change your "default" to what profile you wish to have the chart(s) printed as the Versaworks can only use what the default settings are set to. (go to Edit que A or B to change default). You do not want to print your chart with the "generic" profile - choose the correct profile to achieve the best results. You can also print/cut the color swatch to have your customer sign off on that specific color - saves your butt, and time.

is this a representative from Pacific Coast Paint/Sign Supply? if so welcome to the forum. You should take a moment and start a thread to introduce yourself. You have some very loyal customers on this site and a great reputation that i can say firsthand you have earned. I sincerely miss having a local supplier as great as you guys.

Holy crap, I didn't realize it would be 22 pages....

So basically, I print out the pack of color charts on each of my medias to use as reference/color tools?

Hi Blackice - Yes, its a good size print, but remember you will be cutting it on the dotted lines to make a "pantone" type color wheel. You will need one for each media you need...glossy and matte vinyls, photo paper, and maybe reflective may be a good start. Remember to set your new "default" profile BEFORE you load the file into Versaworks - otherwise it uses the last default profile (not what you want) so you may have to delete the file and reload it. The meda type, profile, and printer model will be listed on the first printed page. Good luck.

The first color chart I printed appears to have crop marks for page cuts and markings for a binder of some type? I'm assuming these are to be cut apart and assembled into books?

Yes, that is correct. IIRC, there should be marks for where you punch it to put in a three ring binder.
