Roland TrueVIS LG Series - Spot inks

Some of the ink configurations of these devices allow the use of White, Varnish, and/or Primer as Spot Inks. To configure them, you need to:

  1. Use the proper driver for your printer. In this example, the CMYKORPRW driver allows the use of Primer and White.

  2. Select the right resolution and quality to achieve the wanted effect (For example White->CMYKOrRe, to have White under colors in one shot).

  3. Then go to the Page Setup module:

Information about custom ink setups and multilayer

  • Custom ink setups are chosen when installing the printer itself and cannot be changed afterward. Taking CMYKORGLW and ORGLWCMYK as an example: The installation setup allows, at the same time and in the same printout, either Colors > White and Colors > Varnish with the first driver or White > Colors with the second driver.
  • Carefully check the driver name and use the correct one for your ink setup, as the layered modes will not work if a driver for another order of ink is used.
  • When printing multilayer, please note that the reciprocal layering order for a given printer must be achieved with 2 jobs and media rewinding.
  • Caldera and Roland have different ways of abbreviating the colors, here is the nomenclature:
    • "O" and "Or" = Orange
    • "R" and "Re" = Red
    • "W" and "Wh" = White
    • "GL" and "Gloss" = Varnish
    • "PR" = Primer
