Roland DG has launched its new TrueVIS XG-640, a 64-inch eco-solvent printer/cutter that becomes the flagship model in the company’s print and cut line-up. Promising a significant leap in productivity and colour performance, the XG-640 incorporates new TR3 inks, enhanced software, and several usability improvements aimed at streamlining print operations for graphics professionals.
Ryugo Nimura, president of the global sales and marketing division at Roland DG, said: “The new XG-640 is our fastest printer/cutter ever, combining the overwhelming high image quality and versatile expressive power of the TrueVIS series with our pioneering print/cut technology.”
Capable of reaching 15.2sqm/hr in 8-colour standard mode on PVC and 22.5sqm/hr in 4-colour, the XG-640 features dual staggered print heads and high-speed data control for increased throughput. The new TR3 ink is GBL-free and delivers vivid colour with improved density and gamut. White ink performance is also enhanced, now printing three times faster and 1.3 times denser than the VG3 model it supersedes.
The machine includes Roland’s True Rich Color print setting for more natural tones, as well as automation features such as media setup and take-up systems, self-maintenance, media gap adjustment, and perforated sheet cutting. A 7-inch LCD touchscreen improves control and navigation.
Software updates include VersaWorks 7, Roland’s updated RIP, which now supports macOS as well as Windows. The printer is also compatible with Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based management platform.
“The XG-640 is a printer that not only delivers outstanding print and cut output, but also offers superb productivity, efficient and user-friendly operation, maximum versatility and high profitability for owners,” Mr Nimura added. “It is especially suitable for users who require quick turnaround for a wide variety of output.”
The launch strengthens Roland DG’s position in the sign and graphics sector, offering an integrated print and cut solution for professionals seeking both high-quality output and efficiency, said the company.
