Roland XG-640: Next-Generation Print and Cut Performance
The Roland XG-640 represents the pinnacle of integrated print and cut technology, combining impressive print speeds with precision contour cutting and the stunning image quality that only a TrueVIS device can deliver. As Roland DG's most productive printer/cutter to date, the XG-640 is engineered for businesses that demand versatility, reliability, and exceptional output quality across a diverse range of applications.
Building on over 30 years of pioneering print-and-cut innovation, the XG-640 delivers nearly twice the productivity of the VG3-640, enabling sign makers, print shops, and graphics professionals to take on more jobs, meet tighter deadlines, and grow their businesses with confidence.
Industry-Leading Print and Cut Productivity
The Roland XG-640 sets a new benchmark for integrated printer/cutter performance. Advanced dual staggered printheads combined with high-speed data control deliver exceptional print speeds up to 15.2 m²/h in 8-colour mode, whilst maintaining the precise contour cutting capabilities that have made Roland DG the world leader in print-and-cut technology.
The dual staggered printhead configuration ejects finer ink droplets at higher densities, enabling high-resolution output with fewer passes. This innovative design delivers 15% faster print speeds than competing models without compromising image quality, allowing you to run uninterrupted overnight production and wake up to customer-ready prints.
Revolutionary TR3 Eco-Solvent Inks
The XG-640 introduces new TR3 eco-solvent inks specially formulated for unrivalled vibrancy, durability, and environmental responsibility. These premium inks are GREENGUARD Gold certified and GBL-free, providing safer, eco-conscious printing without compromising performance.
TR3 inks are available in flexible configurations to suit your specific production needs. Choose dual CMYK for maximum speed on high-volume banner and signage work, or select the 8-colour configuration (CMYKLcLmOrGr) for an expanded colour gamut with Orange and Green for exceptional colour accuracy. TR3 White ink delivers three times greater productivity than previous TR2 formulations and produces graphics 1.3 times more dense, perfect for window graphics and base coats.
Precision Contour Cutting Integration
Building on Roland DG's pioneering legacy in print-and-cut technology, the XG-640 delivers industry-leading cutting precision with automated pinch rollers for seamless workflow and maximum productivity.

FAQs
What’s the difference between the XG-640 and XP-640?
The XG-640 is an integrated printer/cutter with precision contour cutting capabilities, whilst the XP-640 is a print-only device. The XG-640 is ideal for businesses requiring stickers, decals, and cut graphics, whilst the XP-640 suits high-volume banner and signage production without cutting requirements.
Which ink configuration should I choose?
The 8-colour configuration (CMYKLcLmOrGr) provides the widest colour gamut with Orange and Green for demanding colour work and vehicle graphics. The 7-colour setup adds White ink for window graphics and underbase printing. The dual CMYK configuration offers faster speeds for high-volume sticker and decal production. Your choice depends on your primary applications and colour requirements.
What media types can the XG-640 print and cut?
The XG-640 prints on media up to 1.0mm thick with liner and cuts media up to 0.4mm with liner (0.22mm without liner). This includes self-adhesive vinyl (calendared and cast), banner materials, window films, and speciality media. We stock a comprehensive range of Roland certified media optimised for TR3 inks and precision cutting.
How accurate is the print-to-cut registration?
The XG-640 delivers industry-leading registration accuracy using Roland DG’s advanced optical registration system with automated pinch rollers. The system maintains precise alignment even on long runs, ensuring professional results on complex die-cut graphics and stickers.
What cutting blades does the XG-640 use?
The XG-640 uses the full range of Roland CAMM-1 series blades, including standard 45° blades for general vinyl cutting, 60° blades for thicker materials, and speciality blades for specific applications. Blade offset is adjustable from 0.000 to 1.500mm to accommodate different blade types and media.
Can I print full-bleed designs and then contour cut them?
Yes, the XG-640 excels at print-and-cut workflows. VersaWorks software allows you to set up cut paths around printed graphics, enabling full-bleed printing followed by precision contour cutting for professional stickers, decals, and labels.
What maintenance does the XG-640 require?
Routine maintenance is straightforward and includes daily platen cleaning, periodic replacement of user-serviceable parts (caps, wipers, wiper cleaner), and regular cleaning of the cutting strip. Cutting blades should be replaced when they become dull. The printer prompts you when maintenance is required, and all routine tasks can be performed without calling an engineer.
Is training provided with the printer/cutter?
Yes, comprehensive operator training is included with installation. Our certified engineer will spend 3-4 hours covering all aspects of printing, cutting, media handling, software use, and maintenance procedures. Additional training sessions can be arranged if required.
Can I upgrade from an older Roland printer/cutter?
Absolutely. The XG-640 is compatible with VersaWorks, so your existing workflow can transition smoothly. We can advise on trade-in options for your current equipment. Contact us at sales@rgbuk.com to discuss your upgrade path.
Do I need to use Roland inks and blades?
We strongly recommend using genuine Roland TR3 inks and Roland CAMM-1 series blades. Third-party consumables will void your warranty and can compromise print quality, cutting precision, and reliability. Roland products are specifically formulated and manufactured for optimal XG-640 performance.
