Roland DGA’s latest additions to its TrueVIS family of wide-format, eco-solvent inkjets – the 30” and 54” SG series of printer/cutters – deliver “vibrant colour plus high-quality printing and contour cutting at an attractive price point,” said the OEM. The TrueVIS brand represents Roland’s newest generation of inkjet printer/cutter machines, combining proven technology with expertise developed over many years in the sign and graphics industries. As part of the TrueVIS line, the SG series “offers versatility, reliability and ease-of-use, along with a host of significant enhancements.”
Two newly-designed Roland DG FlexFire printheads, new cost-effective 4-colour eco-solvent TrueVIS Ink, improved integrated cutting technology and a Bluetooth-enabled Roland DG MobilePanel “all ensure outstanding productivity.” Both the 54” and 30” SG models are ideal for a wide range of applications – including indoor and outdoor advertising, vehicle graphics, banners, posters and displays, labels and decals, apparel heat transfers, and more.
“To succeed in today’s competitive market, a sign shop or print service provider needs to provide high quality output while keeping operating costs as low as possible,” said Daniel Valade, Roland DGA’s Product Manager, Colour Products. “That’s where our new TrueVIS SG series printer/cutters stand out. The advanced capabilities of these next-generation inkjets, along with the incredible overall value and low cost of ownership, make them unbeatable for those just starting out in wide-format – or looking to expand production.”
The SG-300 and SG-540 are equipped with two Roland DG FlexFire printheads that fire precision droplets in three sizes and a wide print swath for high-quality output and efficient ink usage. Every drop of ink falls exactly where it’s intended, delivering “beautiful images and uniform colours.” The combination of TrueVIS Ink, engineered specifically for the FlexFire printhead, and Roland’s VersaWorks Dual RIP software, allows for stunning detail and vibrant colours at production speeds. The increased productivity of the SG series, which are up to 60% faster than previous comparable models in high quality mode, maximizes both efficiency and profitability.
TrueVIS Ink “the next evolution in eco-solvent ink technology,” said Roland DG, satisfies user demands for competitively- priced ink with low consumption and a wider colour gamut, while also meeting strict environmental standards. It’s available in economical 500 cc pouches that fit into reusable cartridges which slide into a hidden ink bay for clean, safe use and less waste.
Roland DG introduced printing and cutting technology in 1996 and its SG series represents its most advanced integrated print/cut technology to date. A new cut carriage and blade holder provide greater downforce and accuracy, expanding the media options available and maximizing sales opportunities. Valade added: “In addition to enabling shops to expand their product offerings, handle a wider scope of jobs and produce customer-pleasing output, SG printer/cutters come with legendary Roland reliability and support. Users can expect excellent performance and low operating and material costs, with very little maintenance required. Plus, Roland will be with them every step of the way to make sure they’re getting the most out of their equipment.”
