Among the many features, the versatile print and cut functionality of the PRO4 was a key factor in the jury's decision, as it appeals to professional signmakers and enables their creative work. The diverse range of applications possible with the XR-640, including stickers, window decorations, banners, posters, textiles, vehicle-wrapping or canvas, was also an important consideration. The jury gave special praise for the choice of seven or eight colours including CMYKLcLm, Light black, white or metallic inks. The PRO4 really set itself apart for the jury with the high quality and absolute precision of the prints it produces.
Eli Keersmaekers, CEO of Roland DG Benelux, responded to the award by saying, "The XR-640 is our new flagship product and we have high expectations for it. The jury recognised that the XR-640 is the ideal unit for signmakers, thanks to its great versatility and excellent quality. We are therefore also proud that we can add this Award to our records."
