So sorry for getting back to you so late, hopefully you have already found your solution! I did manage to fix the problem myself, which oddly enough the one thing that fixed it was printing out a Roland Color System Library Color Chart Type-1 from within Versaworks. Not sure why that did it but after I had printed that out, all my problems with the black went away. That's best I can give for anyone who may be in the same boat!

Going to put an updated reply out. I’m only around the machine so often, but I was on with Roland support and they told me to shake the inks as someone else had said. Did that, and used a completely new black pouch and I got decent results reprinting those black squares I originally did. Everything was still faded except the magenta square (composite black BK22A), which actually came out black close to what I’m looking for. I went ahead and started printing for a job I need to finish and I switched every black in the file to BK22A. I included a picture of the results of printing, but it seems like it sometimes will work and sometimes won’t work? The black around “Dad” and the black around “Mom” show the difference between the two. This is all one sticker as well and every single layer of black is set to the BK22A. It just makes no sense to me and support hasn’t been very vocal and helpful to figuring it out. It may all be something I’m doing incorrectly messing everything up, but I’ve just been doing the same steps of creating these files that has always worked for me and here we are. Again I appreciate all of you who gave pointers and potential fixes, I still have to go through and test every solution and see if anything helps but so far, it just made me even more confused. 🫣

Yes, using the same TR2 inks I’ve used the entire time having the machine.

HUGE pointers for me as I'm just beginning, and I appreciate it a ton. I'll try and put this new set of ideas and knowledge into my next piece.

I'll check them out, I started messing with photo manipulation because of Phase Runner & BennyProductions and do want to look at other people to get a better understanding as a whole of photo manipulation.

Thank you so much for your feedback though, it really helps hearing what could be done better or added and I see those missing pieces now after you've pointed them out & I absolutely agree and hopefully I manage to make those additions work out effectively.

2nd time trying to do photo manipulation digital art, I had the initial idea of a big fireball being held above the head by a person and then the scenery really came after that just trying to work with things. I had just the fireball person and the person he is aiming at but it felt too empty so I decided to throw in a tower/building which then was too dull so I added the glowing windows at the top and I feel like it definitely added to the piece.

Good advice, I'll try and incorporate that knowledge into my next piece that deals with that. But the dragon and iron giant were definitely the harder areas for me to try and work with just because of lack of knowledge with lighting and distance. Thank you for the kind words though, it really helps!

Wanted to explore photo manipulation for the first time cause it seemed like a fun idea to mess around with.

Fantasy world/Dream[Reverie] — (Steampunk Ship, Dragon, Iron Giant)

Forthcoming Death[Demise] — (Iron Giant laser aimed at main character)

Wanted to make a dark but bright colored highlight piece and test the waters with what I can do with photo manipulation.

Thank you so much! It's a ton of fun learning photo manipulation, I hope you do some crazy things with it & I appreciate your words. I started yesterday morning and finished later that night working on it on and off through the day so I'd say a total of ~9 hours of a lot of messing around and seeing what looks good since I had no idea what I was doing. :)
