De TrueVIS XG-640 – De meest productieve geïntegreerde printer/snijplotter van Roland DG tot nu toe – bijna twee keer zo snel als de VG3-640.
The Roland TrueVIS XG‑640 is a high‑performance 64‑inch (≈ 1.62 m) eco‑solvent printer/cutter designed for signage, wraps, decals, banners, and more. With dual staggered printheads, new TR3 inks, automated features and speeds up to 819 sq ft/hr, it delivers professional quality, versatility and productivity.
TR3 inks bring several improvements: they are GBL‑free (making them safer for operator exposure and environmental regulation), they offer higher pigment density (especially noticeable in white ink), and allow faster throughput. For example, TR3 white can produce graphics with ≈ 1.3× the density of white from older TR2 or VG3 models, and throughput is significantly improved for white‑based jobs.
The maximum speed of 819 sq ft/hr (~76 m²/h) applies in the draft or “Billboard” mode (4‑colour). If you want higher quality (e.g. 8 colours, lighter dot gain, finer detail), you will run more passes and slower speeds. Always check the mode (draft vs standard vs high quality) in workflow; Roland provides charts on the datasheet showing speeds per quality mode.
Yes. For cutting, the XG‑640 supports media thickness up to ~0.4 mm with liner or ~0.22 mm without liner. With liner and printing, it can handle media up to ~1.0 mm thickness. The blade force is configurable, but extremely thick or rigid materials may still require specialized cutter tools.
The unit supports media widths from approx 335 mm up to 1,625 mm. Roll outer diameter up to ~250 mm; maximum roll weight ~45 kg. Standard core sizes (50.8 mm or 76.2 mm) are supported. This gives flexibility for smaller jobs as well as large format pieces.
Quite user‑friendly: features like automatic media gap adjustment, pinch rollers, auto media settings reduce manual calibration. The control panel (7‑inch colour LCD) is intuitive. Also, the included software (VersaWorks 7) is designed with usability in mind, supporting both Windows and macOS, with job previews, library colours, nesting and automated workflows. Training curve is manageable for operators already familiar with large format printing.
Key consumables include TR3 ink (colour cartridges and white), blades for cutting, liner media, cleaning fluids, possibly replacement parts like pinch rollers or printheads over time. Maintenance schedules include printhead cleaning, alignment checks. Since it uses eco‑solvent inks, ventilation and environmental considerations may factor into cost. Judicious use of draft vs high‑quality modes helps control ink usage.
Eco‑solvent inks are designed for outdoor durability; signage, vehicle wraps, outdoor decals will fare well under weather exposure, UV light etc., when using correct media and post‑finishing (lamination etc.). White ink improvements also improve opacity for base layers or white backgrounds. For backlit or long‑term outdoor signage, selection of media and optional coatings or laminates remains important.
The XG‑640 integrates via Ethernet (Gigabit) and works with RIP software VersaWorks 7 which supports major file types, color management, spot colour libraries. The Roland DG Connect platform offers cloud monitoring, inventory & usage data, remote firmware updates. If you have existing print‑cut jobs in formats like Illustrator, Corel, or PDFs, you can continue workflow seamlessly.
Roland DG provides a warranty (in various regions two‑year limited warranty, subject to conditions). Support includes firmware & driver updates, maintenance guides, spare parts & consumables, and a dealer network. Regular maintenance is required for printheads (cleaning, alignment), cutter blade condition, media path cleanups, keeping sensors and rollers free of dust. With good care, reliability is high.
ROI depends on job volume, media cost, labour, location, and pricing. But given the high speeds and the ability to do print + cut in one machine, many businesses report that they recoup investment in under 6–12 months if operating at moderate to high utilisation. Savings accrue via fewer machine handoffs, reduced labour, faster turnaround, better colour and fewer rejects. Larger throughput of white ink jobs (improved with TR3) helps too.
