IRVINE, CA, May 8, 2025 – Roland DG Corporation has announced that its TrueVIS XP-640 eco-solvent wide-format inkjet printer has earned a 2025 BLI Pick Award from Keypoint Intelligence, a global research organization specializing in office equipment testing.
After undergoing evaluation tests on image quality, productivity and usability, the TrueVIS XP-640 was named “Outstanding Gamut Expansion Eco-Solvent/Latex 54”/64” Printer” among current tested products from global manufacturers.
Commenting on the evaluation tests, David Sweetnam, director of EMEA/APAC research & lab services at Keypoint Intelligence, said, “What impressed us most about the XP-640 was its overwhelming image quality. In particular, the wide color gamut and color reproduction exceeded all other printers we have tested, setting a new standard in the graphic arts field, which has always demanded strict quality.”
“The combination of CMYKLkOrGrRe inks delivers the largest color gamut of any wide-format printers we have tested to date,” Sweetnam added. “The difference between high-quality and high-speed print modes is minimal, with a recorded average of 780,415 colors. Which means it is capable of providing consistently high print quality, even at high speed.”
The XP-640 delivered accurate color reproduction during testing. Using Keypoint’s PANTONE color matching suite for 15 challenging corporate logo colors, the device recorded an average Delta E00 of 2.1.
“The XP-640 is the first device to achieve less than Delta E00 4.0 for all colors in Keypoint testing, and it also earned the highest ratings for light and dark contrasts, vivid colors, and smooth, natural gradations,” Sweetnam said.
The BLI test results and the Pick Award suggest that the XP-640 is a choice for wide-format printing, especially when it comes to signage and graphic applications. What stands out is how straightforward it is to use. The setup process around media loading is designed to reduce errors and save time. That kind of efficiency can make a noticeable difference in daily workflows, especially in environments where consistency and speed matter. Overall, Its performance and ease of use make it well-suited for diverse print tasks.
The XP-640 also comes with developed VersaWorks 7 RIP software, compatible with both MacOS and Windows, with tools that optimize Roland DG printer performance, print quality, and user efficiency. In addition, XP-640 users have access to the expanded and enhanced Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based platform that enhances workflow efficiency and supports growth for users of all skill levels in digital printing and design, produce high-quality output, interact with and exchange information with others, conduct commerce and get needed support.
Ryugo Nimura, president of Roland DG’s global sales and marketing division said, “We are very honored to receive the Pick Award and proud that Keypoint’s rigorous testing has confirmed the XP-640’s ability to outperform other companies’ products. We will continue to contribute further to the evolution of the sign and graphic industry to expand the possibilities for customers’ creativity and business growth.”
