Conrad Birkett, business development manager for Roland DG, says, “The XR-640, an eco-solvent inkjet printer cutter, was announced in September this year as our flagship model. With the newly available white and metallic silver inks, the XR-640 has achieved almost double the productivity of predecessor’s in the same class.”
applications for the new inks include window graphics, vehicles graphics, large posters, decals and labels. Birkett says the XR-640 can match the image quality and density of its predecessor’s high quality mode. He says, “As a result, you can now print high quality large scale items in a much shorter time frame.”
The new inks can be used for the production of applications using transparent film or materials, the XR-640 has refined the automated ink circulation system, which prevents the pigment in white and metallic ink from settling. Waste of white and metallic inks required for maintenance has been cut by around 50 per cent in comparison with previous models.
The XR-540 recently received the Best of 2012 Award in the Signmaking category at the largest signmaking tradeshow in Europe, Viscom.
Roland DG launched the next generation of its Pro Series production device, the Soljet Pro 4 XR-640 at the Visual Impact Image Expo in Sydney.
