Leading wide-format inkjet manufacturer Roland DGA Corporation announced today the launch of the TrueVIS VG series 64” and 54” printer/cutters, a new generation of advanced wide-format, eco-solvent inkjet printer/cutters to be released under the TrueVIS™ brand name.
According to Andrew Oransky, Roland DGA’s Vice President, Sales and Marketing, the TrueVIS brand expands Roland’s technical capabilities in ink formulation, print head design, precision control, and firmware engineering. “Everything about the new TrueVIS printer/cutters has been reimagined to usher in a new era of performance, precision and efficiency,” said Oransky. “In addition to delivering output of the highest quality, this enhanced functionality also ensures greater flexibility for Roland users. The addition of the TrueVIS series to our product lineup further diversifies Roland’s offerings, allowing customers to choose the best possible solution and head technology for the applications they focus on and their target markets.”
The TrueVIS VG series represents Roland DGA’s most advanced printer/cutters ever. In designing the VG, Roland combined innovative imaging technology with unsurpassed production capability to create the ideal tool for producing vehicle graphics, banners, posters and displays, labels and decals, packaging prototypes, apparel heat transfers, and more.”
TrueVIS VG series printer/cutters are equipped with four newly-developed FlexFire™ print heads, which more flexibly control the metallic plate attached to the ink chamber for a higher firing frequency. FlexFire print heads also deliver precision droplet placement in three sizes and a 25 percent wider print swath compared to previous Roland models. The combination of this new FlexFire head design and new TrueVIS INK, specially formulated for use with this print head, helps ensure outstanding graphic results. Users can expect exceptional detail and vibrant colors at a production speed of 107.6 square feet per hour in High Quality mode on vinyl and up to 374.6 square feet per hour in dual CMYK configuration*1.
The VG-640 and VG-540 also offer seven-color (CMYK plus Light Cyan, Light Magenta and Light Black) or eight-color (CMYKLcLmLk plus White*2) ink configurations. White ink provides excellent opacity for transparent window graphics, while Light Cyan, Light Magenta and Light Black offer smooth gradations, perfect skin tones and beautiful images.
TrueVIS VG series printer/cutters are equipped to take full advantage of Roland’s new, specially-formulated TrueVIS INK, which comes in cost-effective 500 cc pouches. The ink pouches fit neatly into reusable cartridges that slide into a hidden ink bay for clean operation with less waste. In dual CMYK configuration, up to one liter of ink can be loaded for each color, allowing for high-volume, unattended production. Compared with Roland’s popular Eco-Sol MAX ink, the price per cc is lower, reducing running costs while maintaining a wide color gamut, rich solid colors and excellent gradations.
