Performance T. Roland announces VersaWorks 4.8 RIP software R
oland DG Corporation has announced VersaWorks Version 4.8, a full featured easy-to-use RIP software package developed exclusively for the companyʼs wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters.
The new version includes six libraries from the PANTONE PLUS and Goe product lines, valuable design and production tools for high- end graphics and any application where precise colour matching is vital. These libraries allow users to automatically convert a specific PANTONE spot colour in the design file to a CMYK value that can be reproduced on a Roland inkjet device. This simplified workflow significantly reduces the amount of time required for

colour matching and enables quick output of specific colours when working with properly profiled media. The latest VersaWorks also features a new spot colour replacement feature which allows users to replace a defined spot colour in the design file with another from any VersaWorks library, all without reopening the source file. With VersaWorks, users have access to 16 spot colour libraries, including the new PANTONE libraries and the Roland Color System, Rolandʼs own spot colour matching solution featuring more than 1,500 traditional and metallic hues.
Users can also replace the spot colours in their designs with white and clear ink options supported by several
Roland inkjets.
“As a leader in the wide- format printing industry, Roland provides versatile production tools for some of the worldʼs most creative businesses,” said Andrew Hatkoff, vice president of technology licensing and business development. “We are pleased to partner with Roland to bring all the advantages of PANTONE spot colour matching to these businesses. As the standard for the design and graphics industry, PANTONE provides end users with complete creative flexibility, precision colour matching and
enhanced imaging across the applications driving their businesses.” “With Version 4.8, we have enhanced VersaWorks with
new breakthrough colour management features,” said Kevin Shigenoya, Roland DG Global sales executive officer for Roland DG Corporation. “We are proud to offer our first built-in PANTONE libraries, making spot colour matching even easier and more accurate.”
