The 64-inch (1.62m) eco-solvent inkjet printer features advanced high-speed data control technology and newly designed dual staggered printheads, with finer ink droplets ejected at higher density and speed. It can print at a maximum resolution of 1,800dpi.
“TrueVis is our flagship brand for large-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters, which have won worldwide acclaim from sign and graphics professionals for their ability to produce outstanding graphics with the extraordinary power to excite hearts and minds,” said Ryugo Nimura, president of Roland DG’s global sales and marketing division.
“The XP-640 is the latest model in this series, and we have further refined its print quality and achieved top-class productivity through the addition of several innovations, including a new printhead, upgraded control technology, and improved ink.”
The new eco-solvent TH ink, featuring vibrant red alongside CMYK, orange, and green, is said to offer “exceptional” accuracy in red and orange hues. The expanded colour gamut ensures precise reproduction of corporate colours.
With a lower ink cost per millilitre and reduced ink usage through improved profiling, the device is said to maximise users’ profitability in high-volume production.
Roland said the upgraded True Rich Color setting enhances graphic quality, delivering vivid colours, smooth gradations, and natural skin tones.
The XP-640 also features a seven-inch colour LCD touch panel, an automated media setup function for precise gap and compensation adjustments, a media take-up system to reduce skewing, and a perforated sheet cutter for quick post-processing.
To minimise downtime, users are now able to replace components such as caps and wipers easily, without the need for a service engineer.
The machine is also compatible with Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based service that offers support including error troubleshooting, operational insights, profit tracking, and easy profile downloads.
Nimura added: “The TrueVIS XP-640, developed based on the technology and know-how we have cultivated over many years, is a product that has further evolved in all aspects, including image quality, productivity, operation efficiency, and lower price.
“It is a robust product that will empower professionals in sign and graphic production, especially those who have clients with large output volumes and demanding deadlines. We will continue to develop and provide attractive solutions to contribute to our customers’ creativity and business expansion.”
The TrueVIS XP-640 has a list price of £16,999, with one-year of RolandCare original warranty included.
