Roland DGA announces the release of newly updated Roland DG VersaWorks 7 RIP software as well as the launch of the redesigned Roland DG Connect platform. Together, these advancements further enhance the overall Roland DG user experience by optimizing device and operational performance, improving print output quality, and increasing ease of use and convenience.
“VersaWorks 7 software, which can be downloaded from the Roland DG Connect Hub, has been upgraded to meet customers’ increasing requirements for on-demand printing and timely, flexible production,” said Scott Burgess, Roland DGA’s Software Product Manager. “This software offers greater functionality and ease of use to better serve the diverse and individualized needs of not only print professionals, but also those who have never been involved in the print industry, such as retailers, interior decorators, and educators. The expanded Roland DG Connect platform offers a multitude of added-value and growth opportunities that enable users to realize an ideal output environment, interact with others and exchange information, conduct commerce, get needed support, and much more.”
VersaWorks 7 RIP Software
Included with all new Roland DG inkjet printers, and available as a free upgrade to existing customers using compatible models, VersaWorks 7 offers greater capabilities, more intuitive operation, and support for both macOS and Windows OS. It optimizes the capabilities of Roland DG printers, ink, and media, ensuring unsurpassed print quality, productivity, and ease of use. VersaWorks 7 boasts new and innovative features, while maintaining the outstanding functionality and usability of the previous version. Enhancements include the following:
- Wide Variety of Color Settings: Features Roland DG’s proprietary “True Rich Color,” built-in PANTONE and Roland Color System libraries, and a “Nearest Color Finder” function that automatically generates specified spot colors for fast and accurate color matching of brand logos.
- Easier Navigation: Redesigned to be even more intuitive for both experienced VersaWorks users and those using the RIP for the first time. The new home screen allows users to check the operating status of up to four printers and remaining ink levels at a glance.
- Increased Memory and macOS Support: Memory usage has been increased by over 62% compared to the previous version, enabling users to take full advantage of the latest processing capabilities of both Windows OS and macOS (which Roland DG Connect now supports). Users can output even large file sizes and complex data smoothly in high definition or print multiple jobs faster and in higher volumes by processing up to four data files and outputting to four printers at the same time.
- Secure Output Data Storage: VersaWorks 7 output data is stored securely in the cloud of Roland DG Connect – a comprehensive print operation platform that provides helpful ink and media usage tools, self-maintenance features, cost analysis, easy job back-up and setting options, and much more.
