Roland DG Corp., has announced the release of the SOLJET PRO4 XR-640, the industry's most advanced printer/cutter to date.
At 64 inches wide (1625mm), the SOLJET PRO4 XR-640 combines accelerated print speeds with Roland's renowned integrated print/cut technology, an innovative new dual print head design, both seven- and eight-colour configurations, and new ECO-SOL MAX2™ inkset with nine colours: cyan, magenta, yellow, black (CMYK), plus light cyan (Lc), light magenta (Lm), white (Wh), metallic silver (Mt) and a new light black (Lk).
"As the industry's most powerful and versatile printer/cutter, the XR-640 is designed for volume production while allowing professionals to express their creativity with high-end effects and finishes," said John Wall, Sales Director, Roland DG Australia. "The XR-640's new high-density inks include white, metallic silver and new light black, providing an expanded colour palette that opens up a range og profitable new applications and markets."
The XR-640 is purpose built for production printing with a dual inline print head configuration that yields outstanding image quality at speeds up to 49.1 m2/h. The XR-640 fires droplets of seven different sizes for exceptionally smooth gradations and flawless solid colours. The integrated contour cutting produces graphics of any shape in one seamless workflow and also offers perforations or creasing. Backed by a comprehensive five year "Heads 'n All" warranty and a range of premium after sales solutions through Roland DG Care, the XR-640 is the complete print solution.
The PRO4 XR-640 features ECO-SOL MAX2™, a new generation of Roland's award-winning eco-solvent ink, in four configurations: CMYKLcLmWhMt, CMYKLcLmLkWh, CMYKLcLmLkMt and CMYKLcLmLk. The nickel free ECO-SOL MAX2™ dries fast and offers outstanding long-term outdoor durability, scratch and chemical resistance, broad media support and a wide gamut. Fully optimised for the XR-640's new print head design, ECO-SOL MAX2™ is ideal for popular applications, including banners, signage, POP, posters, decals, labels, vehicle graphics, interior and architectural decoration, soft signage, backlit displays, package prototypes and photographic reproductions.
ECO-SOL MAX2™ adds value and impact to graphics with three specialty inks. New light black ink ensures a neutral gray for smooth gray scale gradations, natural skin tones and precise photographic images. An improved and reformulated white ink offers even greater opacity for exceptionally bright white text, graphics and floods. Metallic silver, also improved for brighter colour, can be printed as a pure spot colour or combined with CMYK to create hundreds of shimmering metallic colours and effects.
"We are very excited about the release of this sixth generation Roland print solution" said Mr. Wall. "The PRO4 provides exceptional value to any print business looking for a serious workhorse that can deliver virtually any application.
