The TrueVIS VG Series is the culmination of Roland's many years of market-leading expertise in the field of integrated eco-solvent print & cut technology, combined with a host of new enhancements.

To enhance the user experience, LED lighting illuminates the print and maintenance areas and the wireless Roland DG Mobile Panel enables full remote printer management from the user's iOS or Android smartphone or tablet. The new included VersaWorks Dual RIP software offers a range of new features to optimize the efficiency and quality of production.

Winner of “Best wide-format roll-to-roll printer up to 170 cm,” Roland's new 64-inch SOLJET EJ-640 eco-solvent printer has been designed with cost-efficient and high-performance productivity in mind. With dual staggered print heads, an integrated tri-heater system and strong chassis, the EJ-640 is built for optimum performance for businesses working on high-volume output.
