Roland XP-640 Eco-Solvent printer

Roland TrueVIS XP-640: Professional 64″ Eco-Solvent Printing at Production Speed

The Roland TrueVIS XP-640 sets a new benchmark for 64″ eco-solvent printing — combining the fastest output speeds Roland DG has ever built into a print-only large-format machine with the colour accuracy and consistency that TrueVIS has always been known for. If your business lives or dies by throughput, and you cannot afford to compromise on the quality of what comes off the machine, this is where that conversation ends.

The XP-640 was designed for sign makers, print shops and graphics professionals who are regularly pushing their current printer to its limits — and need the headroom to take on more work without adding floor space or headcount. It delivers twice the productivity of the previous TrueVIS print-only generation, and does it with Roland’s award-winning colour accuracy intact.

Speed That Changes What Is Possible in a Working Day

The XP-640’s performance credentials are built on a pair of newly designed dual staggered printheads that eject finer ink droplets at higher density than previous TrueVIS models. More dots per pass, fewer passes per print — the result is measurable speed without the quality compromise that usually comes with it.

• Up to 22.5 m²/h in dual CMYK configuration — the right mode for high-volume banner, signage and display work where you need maximum throughput
• Up to 15.2 m²/h in full 8-colour mode (CMYKLkOrGrRe) — fast output with the expanded gamut active for demanding colour work
• Twice the productivity of Roland DG’s previous TrueVIS print-only models at equivalent quality settings
• Fast-drying TH inks mean same-day lamination is achievable on high-volume runs — a genuine operational advantage when turnaround times are tight

In practice, this means a busy print room can handle banner sets, event graphics and vehicle graphics work in the same day without the bottleneck that builds up on slower machines at peak periods.

Widest Colour Gamut in TrueVIS History

The XP-640 introduces Roland DG’s newly developed Red ink to the TrueVIS range — a genuinely significant addition that creates the widest colour gamut ever achieved in a Roland TrueVIS printer. The full 8-colour ink set (CMYKLkOrGrRe) covers:

• Red — the single most frequently used critical colour in sign and graphics work. Red has historically been one of the hardest colours to reproduce accurately in eco-solvent printing; the XP-640’s dedicated Red channel changes that significantly
• Orange — extends warm-colour accuracy for corporate branding, safety signage and automotive graphics
• Green — expands the cool end of the gamut for environmental, sports and outdoor advertising work
• Light Black — smooth neutral greys and better shadow gradations across the tonal range

The True Rich Color preset manages this ink set to deliver vivid, saturated output with neutral greys and natural gradations. For work that includes challenging corporate colours — specific Pantone reds, oranges and greens that have always been a compromise in CMYK — the XP-640’s gamut extension makes a real difference to client approval rates and reprint costs.

This performance was independently recognised when the XP-640 received the Keypoint Intelligence BLI Pick Award 2025, earning 5-star ratings for Image Quality, Colour Accuracy, Colour Gamut and Usability. Keypoint Intelligence specifically noted the “wide colour gamut and unmatched colour reproduction” as setting a new standard in the graphic arts field.

Productivity Features That Reduce Operator Time

Speed on the print speed spec sheet means less than it seems if the machine requires constant operator attention. Roland DG has built a set of automation features into the XP-640 that reduce the time your team spends handling the printer rather than processing and finishing jobs.

• Automatic media take-up system with tension mode — effortless loading and stable tracking for long roll-to-roll runs without operator intervention
• Perforated sheet cutting — an exclusive Roland DG feature that adds perforations to high-volume jobs, eliminating post-process cutting on standard banner and sheet work
• Automatic gap adjustment — TrueVIS optical registration technology reads the media and calibrates gaps automatically, eliminating the manual test prints that eat into productive time on less sophisticated machines
• Individual pinch roller control — raise or lower rollers during operation without cancelling the current job, saving time and avoiding media waste when switching between jobs
• 7-inch colour LCD touchscreen — clear, logical interface that gives quick access to ink levels, job status and printer settings without requiring specialist knowledge to navigate
• Roland DG Connect app integration — remote monitoring of print status, ink levels and alerts from a mobile device, reducing the time spent checking the printer in person

VersaWorks 6 RIP Software — Included

The XP-640 ships with VersaWorks 6 as part of the package — Roland DG’s professional RIP software that handles colour management, nesting, tiling and production queue management. VersaWorks 6 includes:

• ICC profile management and soft-proofing
• True Rich Color and other preset ink configurations
• Nesting and tiling tools for efficient media use
• Job queue and priority management for busy production environments
• Integration with popular design applications

For businesses already running VersaWorks 7 on other Roland equipment, the XP-640 can be managed from the same RIP workflow — the upgrade path from VersaWorks 6 to 7 is straightforward.

TH Ink System and Media Compatibility

The XP-640 uses Roland TH eco-solvent inks, which are designed for a wide range of pressure-sensitive vinyl, banner materials, textiles and rigid substrates. Key characteristics:

• GREENGUARD Gold certified for low VOC emissions — suitable for use in offices and production environments without specialist extraction in most configurations
• Fast dry times enabling same-day lamination on high-volume runs
• Outdoor durability rated for up to three years unlaminated, longer with overlaminate, making them suitable for vehicle graphics, outdoor signage and event displays
• Compatible with a broad range of third-party media — most professional vinyl, polyester banner, canvas and backlit materials work without specialist settings

Dedicated TH ink cartridges in CMYK, Light Black, Orange, Green and Red are available from RGB UK with fast UK dispatch. See our Roland TH ink range for current stock and pricing.

Who Is the Roland XP-640 Right For?

The XP-640 is built for businesses where print volume is increasing and the current machine is a bottleneck. It is the right investment for:

• Sign and display businesses running high-volume banner, poster and POS work who need faster throughput without compromising colour quality on corporate jobs
• Vehicle graphics specialists who need colour accuracy on demanding corporate branding (precise reds, oranges and greens) and fast turnaround on fleet work
• Print service providers handling mixed work — event graphics, retail displays, wallcoverings — where versatility and speed both matter
• Businesses upgrading from an older Roland TrueVIS model — the XP-640 integrates cleanly into an existing VersaWorks and Roland DG Connect workflow

It is less suited to businesses whose primary need is cut-contour work — for print-and-cut applications the Roland TrueVIS VG4 and XG series include a built-in cutter and may be a better fit.
