The company, which specialises in wide-format inkjet printers and integrated printer/cutters, said six machines had been sold so far.

The SolJet features new Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology, which controls dot placement to enhance print quality by creating smoother gradations, flawless solid colours and no visible banding.

The 54-inch printer/cutter is used for a variety of applications, including partial and full vehicle wraps and graphics, signs, point-of-purchase displays, banners, labels and decals.

The new XC-540 features Eco-sol Max inks and is available in two models: the XC-540 in a six-colour CMYKLcLm or a four-colour CMYK configuration; and the XC-540W model equipped with five-colour CMYK+W ink set featuring Roland's new white Eco-Sol Max ink.

The white ink gives printers the flexibility to print in three configurations for added versatility – CMYK plus white, white only and CMYK – and can be used with opaques such as gold and silver, on its own, or as a base coat for other colours.

Roland claims print speeds are 37 to 100% faster than the previous model, depending on the media and print mode selected.
