Roland DGA Introduces Texart 64-Inch Dye-Sublimation Printer

Roland has introduced the Texart RT-640, an advanced, 64-inch dye-sublimation transfer printer featuring innovative print control technology, powerful ErgoSoft Roland Edition RIP software, and a choice of four- or eight-color ink configurations. The Texart RT-640 incorporates a gold-plated, anti-static print head capable of printing seven different droplet sizes for smooth gradations and denser color. A newly designed feed adjuster which, in combination with a more powerful fan and an included TU-3 take-up system, ensures added stability for high-speed printing up to 351 square feet per hour. Roland’s RT-640 is equipped with a bulk ink system that uses airtight-sealed pouches of one liter each. The Roland Ink Switching System allows users to load a fresh pouch without stopping the printer. In four-color CMYK mode, this system provides two liters per color and automatically switches to a backup ink pouch when the primary pouch runs out. ErgoSoft Roland Edition RIP is a powerful tool for either four (CMYK) or eight-color (CMYKLcLmOrVi) ink configurations. Increased convenience and ease-of-use is provided by new Roland Printer Assist – a cutting-edge system that enables the operator to manage production, test-printing and cleaning functions directly from an iPad tablet from virtually anywhere within their shop. The Texart RT-640 will debut in the Americas at the 2014 SGIA Expo in Las Vegas, Oct. 22-24.
