It comes with standard colour libraries including all RAL, HKS and pantone colour swatches and can create white, gloss or metallic colours from CMYK data. It includes a profiling module for creating ICC profiles and users can adjust artwork for perfect pixel to pixel registration.
Rolandprintstudio is supplied on a USB key and is available in 11 languages. Roland continues to sell its PC-based VersaWorks RIP.
