New from Roland DG is the Texart XT-640, the second in the series of Texart dye sublimation transfer printers. It features dual printheads to achieve speeds of up to 63m2/hr.
A new Feed Adjuster at the front and back of the Texart XT-640 provides even tensioning and prevents skewing of the media. Texart ink special colours includes orange and violet as well as light cyan and light magenta. ErgoSoft Roland Edition Rip software is included with the XT-640.
Yuko Maeda, division president of digital printing market development for Roland DG Corporation, said: “In October 2014 Roland DG launched the RT-640. With that we looked for a wide range of textile decoration applications, including sports and fashion apparel, soft signs such as polyester banners and flags, curtains and other interior décor as well as promotional goods and personalised gifts. Since the RT-640’s launch, we have confirmed the demand for higher volume production of fashion and sports apparel. The XT-640 was developed as the ideal solution to meet this need.”
Prior to the XT-640’s launch, Roland DG acquired Oeko-Tex Standard 100, product class 1 certification, ensuring the safety of textile items printed with the XT-640 using Texart ink.
Sublimation and digital print specialist Sabur Digital, based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, has taken an order for one of the a new Roland Texart XT-640 printers from a UK sportswear manufacturer.
