Roland DG will offer an exclusive preview of its new heat transfer finishing solution, the Texart CS-64 calender press, to Sign & Digital UK 2015 visitors.
The Texart CS-64 will be launched as a finishing partner for Roland’s recently released dye sublimation printer, the Texart RT-640. The CS-64 will transfer sublimation print produced by the RT-640 at high speed onto a variety of polyester-based materials used for flags, banners, soft signage displays, fabric for fashion, sports apparel and many other promotional applications.
Built to meet high production demands and designed for ease of use, the CS-64 will appeal to both seasoned professionals and companies new to the dye sublimation print process.
Brett Newman, sales director, said, ‘Working seamlessly with our RT-640 dye sublimation printer and Texart inks, the new CS-64 delivers a finishing solution that’s fast, affordable and easy to use. At just £12,999 plus VAT, the addition of the CS-64 to the Texart range allows us to offer the industry a complete textile ‘print to finish’ package – software, printer and calender. This represents a very accessible investment opportunity for any company looking to profit from the growth in demand for printed textile products.’
The CS-64 uses a precision roller feed system and digitally regulated, infrared heat to transfer dye sublimation print onto fabrics. With production speeds of 50 msq/hr and the option of an in-feed table, the CS-64 has the versatility to handle large roll volumes and small pre-cut fabric jobs.
To prevent costly ‘image ghosting’ errors on the fabric, the CS-64 has a tension bar system that separates the textile from the transfer paper after sublimation and rewinds them onto their own take-up rollers.
