Roland DG has unveiled a new SOLJET EJ-640 wide format inkjet printer aimed at the increasingly crowded wide-format market.
“Today’s sign market is typified by intense competition due to the spread of wide-format inkjet printers and the increasing demand for quick delivery of high quantities with low operating costs,” said Gino Farina, sales and marketing director, Roland DG Australia. “The new EJ-640 addresses these issues by delivering excellent productivity and quality with low ink costs.”
With dual staggered print heads, an integrated tri-heater system, rigid industrial design and high-capacity 1-litre ink cartridges available in 4 or 7 colour configurations, the EJ-640 is built for optimum performance and productivity. New EJ INK was developed to drastically reduce running cost, with savings of 35% over other printers on the market. In a mirrored CMYK ink configuration, the EJ-640 achieves speeds of up to 102m2/h. New Roland VersaWorks Dual RIP software processes both PDF and PostScript files, including files with transparencies.
“While the EJ-640 is built for exceptional productivity, the other aspects for which Roland DG is renowned, such as image quality and reliability, are maintained without compromise,” said Farina.
Special attention has been given to high-volume users. A rigid shaft holds long and heavy rolls securely, and a newly developed Feed Adjuster ensures the smooth progression of media through the printer and onto the take-up system. In 4-colour CMYK mode, up to two litres of ink can be loaded for each colour. With the Roland Ink Switching System, continuous printing is possible overnight without worrying about ink running out. Unattended operation is further facilitated by Roland OnSupport which sends and email to a smart phone, tablet or computer when a job is finished or ink is running low.
“Since 1988, Roland DG has supported the growth of the sign industry by employing new digital technologies and providing products that truly make a difference,” said Farina. “With the EJ-640, we continue to provide the best solutions to support print services providers.”
