Now with More Powerful
RIP Processing

VersaWorks 6 has a powerful Harlequin RIP dual core engine with 64-bit native processing to improve processing capacity. It processes and previews multi-layered files much faster and accurately recognizes complex transparencies, drop shadows and other effects in your files.

Five Print Queues

Get Consistent Output
Across Devices with Printer Color Matching

For users with multiple Roland DG printers of the same model and ink type*, VersaWorks 6 offers printer color matching to ensure consistent color output on every print. Print and scan values from a printer and transfer the color values to matching Roland DG devices to compensate for color differences from one device to the next.

This new color matching feature gives print users the distinct advantage of printing large-scale jobs, high quantity jobs and recurring customer jobs on multiple devices.
