Roland VG4-540 — TrueVis Eco-Solvent Printer/Cutter

The Roland VG4-540 is Roland DG's new 54-inch TrueVis eco-solvent printer/cutter — bringing meaningful performance advances to every key area of print and cut production. A refined new print engine, the advanced TR3 ink system, a 7-inch colour touchscreen with Direct Print, and VersaWorks 7 RIP included as standard. Built for businesses that need professional-quality output, efficient workflows and reliable performance from a productive 54-inch platform.

The VG4-540 offers the ideal balance between floor footprint and production capacity for sign, graphics and wrap businesses. It covers every major eco-solvent application with genuine flagship performance — making it the right choice for businesses that want the quality of a 64-inch machine in a more manageable, space-efficient format.

What Sets the Roland VG4-540 Apart

  • TR3 Eco-Solvent Inks with Extended Gamut: TR3 inks go beyond standard CMYK with dedicated Green, Orange, Red and Light Black channels. The result is a substantially wider colour gamut — producing richer, more accurate colours across vehicle graphics, brand signage and retail display work, with smoother gradients and more faithful spot colour reproduction than earlier generations.
  • Up to 1,800 dpi Print Resolution: The new print head engine with ultra-fine droplet control delivers sharper detail, cleaner fine lines and more consistent tonal reproduction than the VG3 series. True Rich Color profiles optimise output from first print — without requiring manual colour correction from the operator.
  • 7-Inch Colour Touchscreen with Direct Print: The responsive touchscreen provides instant access to ink levels, remaining print time, media settings and the active VersaWorks job queue. Direct Print allows operators to select and send jobs directly from the panel without returning to the workstation — a significant workflow improvement in busy production rooms where the printer and computer are in separate areas.
  • Take-Up Unit Included as Standard: Every Roland VG4 ships with the take-up unit already included. Improved in-sync take-up control keeps media tension consistent across long print and cut runs, reducing tracking errors and enabling reliable unattended production during extended cycles.
  • Perforated Cut: The integrated perforated cut function creates clean, repeatable tear lines between labels and stickers on a roll, with adjustable perforation intervals to suit different products and liner weights. No guillotine or manual scoring required.
  • VersaWorks 7 and Roland DG Connect — Included: VersaWorks 7 is Roland DG's high-speed RIP software, packed with colour profiling, step-and-repeat, tiling, and print-cut integration tools. Roland DG Connect provides cloud-based monitoring of printer status, ink levels and machine health from any smartphone — included at no extra cost with every VG4.

What Can the Roland VG4-540 Produce?

The Roland VG4-540 handles the full range of eco-solvent print and cut applications with professional results. Common uses include:

  • Vehicle Graphics: Full vehicle wraps, van lettering, fleet branding and motorsport liveries. The wide colour gamut and cutting precision ensure accurate colour matching and contour cuts that fit cleanly to complex body shapes.
  • Signs and Posters: Point-of-sale signage, retail display, A-board graphics and outdoor posters. TR3 inks produce deep, saturated colour that holds up in direct sunlight, often without the need for lamination.
  • Banners: Wide-format PVC and fabric banners for events, exhibitions, retail and hospitality — produced at speed with consistent colour from roll start to finish and print widths up to 52.9 inches.
  • Window Graphics: Perforated vinyl, frosted film, one-way vision and clear adhesive window graphics. The accurate contour cutting makes installation straightforward and results professional.
  • Floor Stickers: Anti-slip laminated floor graphics with contour cuts for retail wayfinding, safety notices and experiential installations. Consistent cut quality ensures clean edges on complex shapes.
  • Wall Graphics: Large-format wall murals, decorative panels and repositionable vinyl stickers — produced with photo-quality colour and sharp detail at widths that make a strong visual impact.
  • Labels and Stickers: High-quality custom labels and sticker sheets in production quantities, with perforated cut for easy separation and precise contour cutting for complex custom shapes.

Roland TR3 Eco-Solvent Inks

The Roland VG4-540 uses the latest TR3 eco-solvent inks — the most advanced ink system in Roland DG's TrueVis range. TR3 builds directly on the performance of the proven TR2 formulation, with improvements to gamut width, colour accuracy and outdoor durability.

Available TR3 ink configurations:

  • Standard 8-Colour (C, M, Y, K, Light Black, Green, Orange, Red): The broadest available gamut for sign and display production. Recommended for most vehicle graphics, retail display, banner and general commercial print applications.
  • Photo Configuration (C, M, Y, K, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Orange, Red): Optimised for photographic-quality reproductions, portraiture, fine art prints and applications where subtle skin tones and tonal gradients are critical.
  • White Ink Configuration (C, M, Y, K, Orange, Red, White × 2): For printing onto transparent, metallised and dark substrates. White channels double-loaded for continuous white ink availability on long runs.
  • CMYK: Standard four-colour configuration for straightforward CMYK-only workflows.

TR3 inks are outdoor-durable eco-solvent inks with excellent adhesion across vinyl, canvas, film and other common substrates. Lamination is not required for many applications, reducing both material costs and production time. Supplied in 500 ml cartridges (White: 220 ml).

Roland VG4-540 Key Features

  • 7-Inch Colour Touchscreen Operation: A large, intuitive touchscreen provides full control over everyday printer operation — including media setup, media preset recall, ink status, remaining print time, and VersaWorks Direct Print job selection. All with no need to interact with the computer for common production tasks.
  • VersaWorks 7 RIP Software (Included): Roland DG's most capable RIP software ships with every VG4 at no additional cost. Features include high-speed processing, True Rich Color profiling, step-and-repeat layouts, tiling, cut path integration, Mac and Windows compatibility, and seamless Roland DG Connect integration.
  • Roland DG Connect App (Included): A cloud-based monitoring and management application that gives you real-time visibility of printer status, ink levels, print history and machine health from any smartphone or tablet. Receive alerts before consumables run out and monitor multiple devices from a single app.
  • Efficient Media Handling: Stored media presets allow operators to switch substrates quickly and repeatably — reducing setup time between jobs. Supports media widths of 295 to 1,371 mm (11.7 to 54 in.) with roll weights up to 35 kg and a maximum outer diameter of 250 mm. Both 2-inch and 3-inch cores are supported.
  • In-Sync Take-Up Control: The improved in-sync take-up unit (included as standard) keeps media tension consistent during long print and cut runs, minimising the risk of tracking errors, media skew and misalignment on extended jobs.
  • Perforated Cut Function: Automatically creates clean, adjustable tear lines between stickers and labels on a production roll. Ideal for label stock, sticker sheets and any job where individual cut-out pieces need to be separated cleanly after production.
  • Media Heating System: Print heater (30–45 °C) and dryer (30–55 °C) work together to control ink drying on output, supporting consistent results across different substrates and ambient temperatures.
