New white and metallic inks drastically increase productivity and offer specialised colour applications for the recently released SOLJET PRO4 XR-640.
Roland DG has announced the newly-developed ECO-SOL MAX 2 white and metallic silver inks for SOLJET PRO4 XR-640. This will enable use for a wide range of applications, including window graphics, vehicles graphics, large posters, decals and labels with excellent added-value, fully utilising the potential of the XR-640.
“The XR-640, an eco-solvent inkjet printer cutter, was announced in September this year as Roland's flagship model. With the newly available white and metallic silver inks, the XR-640 has achieved almost double the productivity of predecessor's in the same class,” said Conrad Birkett, Roland DG Business Development Manager. “In fact, the standard mode of the XR-640 can match the image quality and density of its predecessor's high quality mode. As a result, users can now print high quality large-scale items in a much shorter time frame.”
With drastically improved density, the newly developed ECO SOL MAX 2 white ink, is particularly useful for the production of applications using transparent film or materials. For example, when producing decals to be applied to vehicles or bicycles, colours can be accurately matched by first printing a base layer with white ink, and then carrying out full-colour printing over the top. In addition, the pigments of the new metallic ink are more reflective for a much brighter result^. These new inks will now produce applications that have a much greater impact and enable users to add value to their offering.
Furthermore, the XR-640 has refined the automated ink circulation system, which prevents the pigment in white and metallic ink from settling. As well as maintaining stable output quality, waste of white and metallic inks required for maintenance has been cut by around 50% in comparison with predecessor’s model, contributing to significant reduction of running costs.
