Roland XP-640: High-Speed Eco-Solvent Printing Redefined
The Roland XP-640 sets a new benchmark for professional large-format printing, combining blazing print speeds with the exceptional image quality that has made TrueVIS the world's most trusted eco-solvent printer series. Engineered for high-volume production environments, this 64-inch printer delivers twice the productivity of previous TrueVIS print-only models whilst maintaining the stunning colour accuracy and reliability that sign makers, print shops, and graphics professionals demand.
Whether you're producing vehicle graphics, banners, event signage, or high-quality fine art reproductions, the XP-640 provides the perfect balance of speed, quality, and versatility to keep your business competitive and profitable.
Revolutionary Speed Meets TrueVIS Quality
At the heart of the Roland XP-640 are newly designed dual staggered printheads that eject finer ink droplets at higher densities, enabling high-resolution output with fewer passes. This innovative printhead configuration delivers production-level speeds whilst maintaining the output quality essential for today's competitive print market.
Print speeds reach up to 22.5 m²/h in dual CMYK configuration, perfect for high-volume banner and signage work. When maximum colour gamut is required, the 8-colour setup (CMYKLkOrGrRe) delivers up to 15.2 m²/h on vinyl, ensuring you never have to choose between speed and stunning colour reproduction.
Widest Colour Gamut in Its Class
The XP-640 introduces Roland DG's newly developed Red ink, creating the widest colour gamut ever achieved in a TrueVIS printer. This revolutionary addition enables exceptional accuracy in reproducing reds, oranges, and challenging corporate colours that were previously difficult to match with standard CMYK configurations.
Combined with Light Black, Green, and Orange inks, the XP-640's True Rich Color preset delivers vivid colours with neutral greys, smooth gradations, and natural skin tones. Red is the most frequently used and critical colour in sign graphics, and the XP-640's ability to reproduce it accurately gives your business a genuine competitive advantage.
Engineered for Maximum Productivity
The Roland XP-640 includes productivity-enhancing features designed to streamline your workflow and maximise output:
- Automatic media take-up system: Effortless loading with tension mode for incredible media stability during roll-to-roll printing
- Perforated sheet cutting: Exclusive Roland DG feature adds perforations for high-volume jobs, eliminating cutting tools and reducing post-processing time
- Automatic gap adjustment: TrueVIS optical registration technology automatically determines gaps and calibrates, eliminating manual testing
- 7-inch colour LCD touchscreen: Intuitive control panel provides quick access to printer functions, ink levels, and job status
- Individual pinch roller control: Raise or lower rollers during operation without cancelling jobs, saving time and materials
Outstanding Cost Performance
The XP-640 delivers exceptional value through innovative ink technology and intelligent print settings. New fast-drying TH inks in economical 500ml cartridges provide low cost per millilitre whilst enabling same-day lamination for high-volume users. The True Rich Color print setting achieves the highest TrueVIS image quality whilst using less ink, significantly reducing operating costs on every job.
With the lowest running costs in its category, the XP-640 maximises profitability whether you're producing large banner runs or premium vehicle graphics.
Versatile Media Handling for Diverse Applications
The Roland XP-640 accommodates media widths from 259mm to 1,625mm with a maximum printing width of 1,615mm, supporting an extensive range of applications including banners, billboards, vehicle graphics, event marketing materials, window and floor graphics, backlit signage, and wall coverings. Maximum media thickness of 1.0mm with liner and roll weights up to 45kg ensure compatibility with virtually any substrate you need to print.

FAQs
What’s the difference between the 8-colour and dual CMYK configurations?
The 8-colour configuration (CMYKLkOrGrRe) provides the widest colour gamut with Red, Orange, Green, and Light Black inks, ideal for demanding colour work, corporate branding, and premium graphics. The dual CMYK setup offers faster print speeds (up to 22.5 m²/h) using two sets of CMYK inks, perfect for high-volume banner and signage production.
Can I switch between 8-colour and 4-colour configurations?
The configuration is determined at the time of purchase. Whilst the printer physically supports both configurations, switching between them requires hardware changes and professional service. We recommend choosing based on your primary production needs.
What media types can the XP-640 print on?
The XP-640 handles a wide range of eco-solvent compatible media including vinyl (calendared and cast), banners, canvas, papers, films, and speciality materials. Maximum media thickness is 1.0mm with liner. We stock a comprehensive range of Roland certified media optimised for TH inks.
How much does it cost to run the XP-640?
The XP-640 offers the lowest running costs in its category thanks to economical 500ml TH ink cartridges and the True Rich Color setting that reduces ink consumption whilst maintaining quality. Actual costs depend on print mode, coverage, and media type. Contact us for detailed cost-per-square-metre calculations based on your typical applications.
What maintenance does the XP-640 require?
Routine maintenance is minimal and straightforward. Daily tasks include wiping the platen and checking ink levels. Periodic maintenance involves replacing user-serviceable parts (caps, wipers, wiper cleaner, flushing sponge) which you can do yourself without calling an engineer. The printer prompts you when maintenance is required.
Is training provided with the printer?
Yes, comprehensive operator training is included with installation. Our certified engineer will spend 2-3 hours covering all aspects of operation, media handling, software use, and maintenance procedures. Additional training sessions can be arranged if required.
What warranty does the XP-640 come with?
The XP-640 includes a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty when registered within 60 days of purchase and when using genuine Roland DG inks exclusively. Extended warranty and service contract options are available. Visit our support products page for details.
Can the XP-640 be used for vehicle wrapping?
Absolutely. The XP-640 excels at vehicle graphics thanks to its exceptional colour gamut, precise colour matching capabilities, and compatibility with cast vinyl media. The 1,615mm print width accommodates most vehicle wrap applications.
Do I need to use Roland inks, or can I use third-party alternatives?
We strongly recommend using genuine Roland TH inks. Third-party inks will void your warranty and can damage the printer, compromise print quality, and cause reliability issues. Roland TH inks are specifically formulated for the XP-640’s printheads and provide optimal performance, colour accuracy, and durability.
