Roland DG has launched the TrueVis XP-640, the newest addition to its flagship large-format printer series. The 64in eco-solvent inkjet printer is said to deliver ‘unmatched’ image quality and ‘exceptional’ productivity.

The new inkjet printer features high-speed data control technology and newly designed dual staggered print heads, ejecting finer ink droplets at higher density and speed. This combination maximises performance while achieving high-definition image quality, explained Roland.

‘The XP-640 is the latest model in this [TrueVis] series, and we have further refined its print quality and achieved top-class productivity through the addition of several innovations, including a new print head, upgraded control technology, and improved ink,’ said Ryugo Nimura, president of global sales and marketing division at Roland.

The improved eco-solvent TH ink features vibrant red alongside CMYK, orange, and green, offering ‘exceptional’ accuracy in red and orange hues – the most critical colours in sign graphics, stated the company. With a lower ink cost per millilitre and reduced ink usage through improved profiling, it maximises profitability in high-volume production. The upgraded True Rich Color setting enhances graphic quality, delivering vivid colours, smooth gradations, and natural skin tones.

Roland added that the XP-640 is packed with features for fast, high-quality production. It boasts a 7-inch colour LCD touch panel, an automated media setup function for precise gap and compensation adjustments, a media take-up system to reduce skewing, and a perforated sheet cutter for quick post-processing.

To minimise downtime, users can replace components, such as caps and wipers, without the need for a service engineer. The printer is also compatible with Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based service, which offers support, including error troubleshooting, operational insights, profit tracking, and easy profile downloads.

Based on technology cultivated over many years at the company, the TrueVis XP-640 has evolved in all aspects, including image quality, productivity, operation efficiency, and lower price, stated Mr Nimura. This ‘robust’ product, he says, will empower professionals in sign and graphic production, especially those who have clients with large output volumes and demanding deadlines.

He concluded that the company would continue to develop and provide attractive solutions to contribute to its customers’ creativity and business expansion.
