New from Roland DG is the four- or seven-colour Soljet EJ-640 wide-format inkjet printer with dual staggered printheads, an integrated tri-heater system, and 1litre ink cartridges. In a mirrored CMYK ink configuration, the EJ-640 can achieve speeds of up to 102m2/h.
The printer uses ink developed alongside the machine for what Roland calls “substantially lower operating costs for high-volume and long-run print jobs”. It is accompanied by Roland VersaWorks Dual Rip software for the ability to process PDF and PostScript files natively.
Yuko Maeda, division president of digital printing market development for Roland DG said: “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. The new EJ-640 addresses these issues by delivering excellent productivity and quality with low ink costs.”
With a particular focus on high-volume businesses, the media shaft holds heavy media rolls, and a newly developed feed adjuster ensures the smooth progression of media through the printer and onto the take-up system.
