Roland VersaArt RS-640S now available in the UK
Launched last summer, the Roland VersaArt RS-640S is now available in the UK. Developed to simplify the route into soft signage and textile printing, output from the sub £15,000 1.62m (64in) wide printer – a dye sublimation version of Roland’s VersaArt RS-640 – can be finished using any heat press or calender.
“Typical textile applications include soft signage, flags, banners and home and commercial furnishings, and the compatible polyester-based fabrics are robust, lightweight and versatile,” said Adam Wyles of Roland DG (UK). “Their durability and potential for recycling are complemented by completely odourless print using aqueous-based inks, making dye sublimation suitable for a wealth of interior and exterior jobs.”
The VersaArt RS-640S entry-level package includes the printer, a take-up unit and a bottle unit. The machine has a maximum resolution of 1440 x 720dpi and incorporates Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology which eliminates banding in all print modes. Precise control of droplet placement results in smooth graduated tones and vivid solid colours, with production speeds of up to nearly 32m2/hr.
As with all Roland printers, the VersaArt RS-640S sublimation system includes the company’s VersaWorks Rip software which incorporates fully embedded ICC profile support, variable data printing (VDP), precise spot colour matching and advanced tiling, nesting and cropping features.
