State of the Art Print Engine
The XR-640 features two gold-plated 8-channel piezo inkjet heads with 180 nozzles per channel for high-speed, high-quality printing. With Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology and variable dot control producing droplets of seven different sizes, the XR-640 achieves smooth gradations, exceptional solid colors and superior photographic reproduction in all print modes. The print heads are arranged in an inline formation and configured in a mirrored pattern, virtually eliminating chromatic banding in bi-directional printing.
Advantage of Integrated Print/Cut
The ability to use a single device to take a print/cut job from start to finish creates a tremendous competitive advantage for print service providers. By automatically contour cutting printed graphics as soon as they finish printing, the XR-640 eliminates the need to reload and reposition graphics, saving valuable time and effort, and saving on the cost of a stand-alone cutter. With its included TU-2 take-up system, the Pro 4 is capable of performing long, unattended print/cut runs, or functioning as a stand-alone vinyl cutter.
