In this article, you will find an example of how to create a multilayered job using a Roland VersaUV LEF printer in CalderaRIP.
Good to know
The screenshots are from CalderaRIP V15.1, but any newer version should have a similar structure.
For a more general overview of how multilayer printing works, please refer to the section dedicated to this feature.
Example with a Roland VersaUV LEF-12i
In the example below, we will configure a job on a Roland VersaUV LEF-12i to print with three layers: White, Color, and Gloss.
This printer model utilizes layer settings in conjunction with quality settings to achieve the exact configuration you need. While the example showcases three layers, you can also complete the job in two layers, as some quality settings allow for printing with multiple layers.
-
First, create 3 layers by using the Add button in the Layers tab.
-
Then select the first layer and drag & drop the image in the print module.
Warning
The layer selection must always be done first!
Activate the white as you wish and select the quality white only.
-
Select the second layer and drag&drop an image in it.
Select the correct quality and be sure that white and gloss are disabled.
-
Select the third layer and drag&drop an image in it.
Select the wanted varnish quality and enable the gloss tab as you wish.
- Select the wanted action, Rip in the example, and click on Print to send the job with the 3 layers to the printer.
