IRVINE, CA, May 28, 2025 – Roland DGA has introduced the TrueVIS Roland DG XG-640, a 64-inch eco-solvent printer/cutter designed for professional print environments. Available through authorized dealers, the XG-640 combines fast printing, integrated contour cutting, and consistent color reproduction to support streamlined and cost-efficient output. The device is intended to support print service providers aiming to improve throughput and cost efficiency.

Roland DG introduced integrated print-and-cut technology over 30 years ago, enabling combined printing and contour cutting in a single process. Building on this foundation, the company has developed the XG-640, designed to enhance versatility, workflow efficiency, and overall performance in print/cut operations.

“The XG-640 is quite simply our fastest, most capable printer/cutter to date,” said Roland DGA product manager of digital print, Daniel Valade. “Incorporating our very latest digital imaging and cutting advancements, it allows print providers to handle a wide range of applications with unprecedented confidence. In addition to producing output that exceeds customer expectations, the XG-640’s ability to ramp up production while keeping running costs low can help any shop increase its bottom line. It’s an amazing device that pays for itself within a very short time period – everything after that is pure profit.”

For color and print accuracy, the XG-640 employs newly designed dual staggered printheads that eject finer ink droplets at higher densities. These printheads, along with new data control functionality, enable the XG-640 to produce prints at speeds of up to 819 square feet per hour.

The XG-640 takes advantage of Roland DG’s new GBL-free, wide-gamut TR3 eco-solvent inks, which are available in a choice of configurations up to eight colors (CMYK, Lc, Lm, Or, and Gr). White ink printing is 3 times faster and 1.3 times denser than with the TrueVIS VG3, ensuring opacity for window graphics and base coats.

True Rich color is a print setting designed to maximize the capabilities of the XG-640 by balancing vivid colors with neutral grays, smooth gradients, and accurate skin tones. Users can choose from preset options – such as vivid, deeper, or softer color profiles – based on the specific requirements of the graphic output.

The XG-640 includes features aimed at improving operational workflow and print quality. These include automated media setup and take-up systems for stable output, a 7-inch color LCD touchscreen control panel, and automated pinch rollers. It also supports perforated sheet cutting, a media gap adjustment function, and built-in maintenance to minimize manual input and ensure stability.

“At a typical output volume, many shops see ROI on the XG-640 in less than six months,” Valade added. “That makes this next-generation inkjet a clear investment in long-term profitability.”

A software package is also included with the XG-640. Roland DG’s latest RIP software – VersaWorks 7 – offers enhanced processing capacity, an intuitive user interface, and is compatible with macOS as well as Windows. In addition, the XG-640 comes with access to the cloud-based Roland DG Connect platform, which hosts useful tools and resources for users to streamline their workflow, manage print operations, and grow their businesses.
