Roland unveils fastest SolJet printer/cutter

Roland DGA Corp has introduced the SolJet Pro 4 XR-640, a large-format color printer which combines integrated print/cut technology with a new printhead design, accelerated print speeds and new, reformulated Eco-Sol Max 2 inks in nine colors, including white, metallic silver and light black.

The 64-inch Pro 4 is purpose built for production printing with a dual inline and mirrored print head configuration that is claimed to yield outstanding image quality at a maximum print speed of 528 square feet an hour.  Print speeds for white and metallic inks are more than 50 percent faster than those of previous models, says the company. The new Roland Pro 4 fires droplets of seven different sizes for smooth gradations and flawless solid colors.  Integrated contour cutting produces graphics of virtually any shape in one seamless workflow.

‘As the industry's first printer/cutter to pack in this much power and versatility, the Pro 4 is truly a “Swiss Army knife” for wide-format printing,’ said Eric Zimmerman, product manager for Roland DGA Corp. ‘New high-density inks include white, metallic silver and light black, allowing shops to reach profitable new applications and markets. And, while the Pro 4 XR-640 is bigger and faster than its predecessor, the XC-540, it actually costs less.’

The Pro 4 XR-640 features Eco-Sol Max 2, a new generation of Roland’s award-winning eco-solvent ink that offers long-term outdoor durability, scratch and chemical resistance, broad media support and a wide color gamut.
