IRVINE, CA, June 27, 2025 – Roland DGA has introduced the DIMENSE DA-640, a wide-format printer that combines full-color printing with dimensional embossing in a single process. The DA-640 offers a simplified approach to producing textured prints for interior décor, signage, and custom surfaces. Its capabilities are designed to support print providers and designers looking to add tactile finishes without relying on complex or pricy production methods.
The DA-640 features printheads and serves as the core of the DIMENSE solution. It works with specialized media that expands up to 2 mm in thickness when heated, along with a structural ink that defines where embossing appears. The printer is designed for efficient operation, with a focus on reducing running costs and minimizing media waste. Key features include a 7-inch touchscreen interface, a torque-based take-up system for automated media handling during extended runs, and a 14-zone heater system that simplifies setup, calibration, and maintains stable production conditions.
“Roland DG developed the DIMENSE DA-640 in response to growing demand within the hospitality, commercial, residential, and retail sectors for unique indoor settings that reflect individual styles, stand out, and create a lasting impression,” said Kitt Jones, Roland DGA’s segment manager of interior design and surface decoration. “Together with its specialized DIMENSE media and inks, this revolutionary machine creates wallcoverings, fine art, displays, roll-up banners, and more with incredible visual and tactile appeal in one simple, seamless process. It’s a cutting-edge system that gives not only interior designers and architects, but also print providers, the ability to supply what the marketplace is asking for and profit significantly.”
The DA-640 produces full-color textured prints for interior applications, allowing users to create dimensional surfaces without complex design processes. From “one-offs” to repeatable projects, The printer expands surface printing capabilities by supporting user-generated designs, artwork, or customizable templates. It produces embossed effects with either full-color prints in a single pass four-color prints or structure-only with the DIMENSE solution. The process enables the production of textured finishes suitable for different types of applications. It provides flexibility in design for specialized surface treatments.
DA-640 users can choose from a variety of DIMENSE media, such as matte, suede, silver, gold, pearl, and chameleon. This lineup includes media compliant with the U.S. Type Ⅱ standard, which defines the performance of wallpaper for commercial applications and provides assurance against scratch resistance. In addition to the DIMENSE media options, users can print on third-party media, showcasing the versatility of the DA-640. Tension fabric and roll-up banners for indoor signs and displays are available for selecting the appropriate media for different situations.
The DIMENSE digital printing solution is also eco-friendly. DIMENSE media is PVC-free, the CMYK inks are water-based resin, and the ink is butylene glycol-free and meets safety standards, including AgBB, A+, UL, and GREENGUARD Gold “Unrestricted wallcoverings.”
The DA-640 supports print data creation through common design software and the new Roland DG Connect Designer DIMENSE Module. This tool allows users to create design files, define embossing layers, and preview output effects before printing through a visualizer. The printer also includes VersaWorks 7 RIP software (compatible with both Windows and macOS) which enables users to configure detailed print settings and manage color workflows. The DA-640 integrates with Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based platform that offers real-time device monitoring, usage analytics, firmware update, and inventory tracking. This connected ecosystem supports operations and simplifies printer management for users in signage, interior décor, and wide-format printing applications.
“At present, only about 5% of wallpaper printing has been digitalized, so there is tremendous growth and profit potential for the high-end digital printing of interior surfaces,” noted Jones. “The introduction of the DA-640 creates new opportunities to add texture and value to a wide range of applications and makes the DIMENSE solution accessible to a wider group of potential users.”
Available through authorized Roland DGA dealers, the DA-640 comes with a BOFA air filtration unit, a set of DA-IA inks, and four different types of DIMENSE media (Matte Extra, Pearl Type II, Pearl Textile and Suede).
