Printing at speeds of up to 48.5 square metres per hour, costing less than £10,000, and including an iPad app for remote management of printer functions, the VersaExpress RF-640 is Roland DG’s new 64 inch wide high speed production printer.
Using the Printer Assist app, a first for the manufacturer, operators can monitor print status, and manage jobs and cleaning functions, remotely. Also included in the VersaExpress is a new Ink Switching System which supports unattended continuous printing through a backup cartridge that automatically takes over when the primary cartridge is empty.
Additional productivity enhancing features include new media loading levers and special media brackets to support heavy media rolls. The RF-640 has a mirrored CMYKKYMC gold-plated print head that can fire seven different droplet sizes on a wide range of media.
‘Digital sign makers and wide format printers need affordable volume production solutions that will help them increase productivity and profits,’ said Rob Goleniowski, Sign & Graphics business manager for Roland DG. ‘The new RF-640 is the ideal production tool because it delivers high speed, outstanding print quality, ease of use, simple maintenance and unsurpassed reliability, while keeping operating costs low.’
