Roland DGA Launches New VersaEXPRESS RF-640 8-Color Printer

Roland DGA launched its new VersaEXPRESS RF-640 8-Color eco-solvent printer – a 64-inch wide-format inkjet with the widest color gamut in its class for outdoor durable graphics.

An evolution of Roland’s popular RF-640 dual CMYK printer, the RF-640 8C features 8-color inks in CMYK, Light Black, Red, Green and Orange for stunningly vibrant prints, highly accurate color-matching capabilities, and up to three years of outdoor durability.

The VersaEXPRESS RF-640 8C has an MSRP of USD$16,995.

The RF-640 8C accurately matches and reproduces colors normally difficult to achieve.

It also features a state-of-the-art gold-plated printhead with Roland Intelligent Pass Control, which precisely places dots within passes and uses variable dot control to produce ink droplets of up to seven different sizes.

“Colors like green and orange are notoriously challenging to reproduce precisely,” said Daniel Valade, Roland DGA product manager of Digital Print. “By adding these ink colors, as well as red, the RF-640 8C offers significant advantages and opportunities for PSPs, especially those working with major brands and corporate customers. This printer’s ability to match colors with ease and precision make it unbeatable for anyone producing signage with brand colors, as well as graphics demanding a wide-color gamut.

“Red, Green and Orange inks extend the range of achievable colors across the entire spectrum. Along with Light Black, they deliver exceptional skin tones and smooth gradients for unsurpassed photo reproduction,” Valade continued. “This makes the RF-640 8C perfect for shops producing interior décor, fine art, or other types of images for hotel chains, museums, galleries, entertainment venues, or offices.”
