Utilising Roland DG’s unique “no stink” EcoSOL solvent inks, the new SP-540V has been designed to provide a low cost entry into the lucrative solvent based wide-format sign market.
With a 54″ print and cut capability, the SP-540V prints on coated or uncoated media. Roland DG’s contour cutting technology allows printers to cut decals in virtually any shape without a die-cutter.
According to Marcus Adler, Roland DG Australia managing director, the new VersaCAMM SP-540V is destined to shatter all previous sales records.
“It’s a serious machine, producing outstanding print resolutions up to 1440dpi in CMYK for both indoor and outdoor signage, banners, decals, packaging prototypes, as well as being able to print on heat transfer media – which will appeal to those involved in the lucrative garment trade, Adler says.
Featuring six print modes, the new SP-540V is twice as fast as the SP-300, printing up to 10sqm per hour and incorporates Ethernet interface, optional additional print rollers for difficult medias and a media usage function that lets printers keep tabs on how much media used and how much media is left on the roll.
Included with the SP-540V is a specially-designed software rip. After reviewing all the current rips available, Roland DG developed Roland VersaWorks exclusively for the SP-540V.
“Even those unfamiliar with RIPs will find VersaWorks easy-to-use with its drag-and-drop capabilities and its at-a-glance screen with icons,” Adler says, “Everything you want to know is visible on the screen without clicking menus.”
VersaWorks includes precision colour management to faithfully reproduce colour and astonishingly fine details. Before printing, you are able to preview your colour adjustments on screen and take advantage of a wide variety of layout functions, such as nesting and tiling, to reduce ink and media consumption. VersaWorks is built upon a genuine Adobe PostScript3 engine to provide reliably smooth output production.
