UV Innovation: Ink Formulations for Every Application
While many printers are limited to a standard setup, the TrueVIS LG-640 offers a sophisticated range of ink formulations designed to tailor to specific customer environments and premium applications.
1. Gamut Expansion
The LG series offers specialized Red and Orange inks. These formulations expand the color gamut, allowing you to hit difficult brand colors and produce vibrant graphics that standard CMYK printers cannot reach.
2. High-Opacity White
The White ink formulation is perfect for transparent or colored substrates[. It provides a high-density base that ensures colors remain vivid and bright, even on dark or non-white surfaces.
3. Gloss & Texture
Gloss ink enables high-value workflows, including protective varnish effects and embossed textures. This allows print shops to offer high-margin "touchable" prints and premium spot UV finishes.
4. Onboard Primer
For challenging media types, the onboard Primer ink option improves ink adhesion. This expands your product range to include specialized industrial materials that were previously difficult to print on.
The LG-640 utilizes Gloss ink to create premium embossed workflows and protective varnish finishes.
Efficiency Meets Versatility
Keypoint Intelligence noted that while the LG-640 offers these creative inks, it doesn't sacrifice productivity, earning a 4.5-star speed rating. The device delivers impressive throughput through its new staggered printhead design and UV-LED lamp system.
- Seven-Inch Touchscreen: Simplifies device management, media profile creation, and setup tasks with an intuitive interface.
- Automated Precision: Features automated feed calibration and head gap adjustment, aiding less experienced operators in achieving professional results.
- High Yield Efficiency: High yield 750 ml eco-friendly ink bags reduce the cost of ownership while minimizing plastic waste.
Usability is enhanced via the large touchscreen, providing one-touch access to key device management elements.
The Keypoint Intelligence Verdict
"There is no doubt that Roland DG has raised the company's capabilities in the UV roll-to-roll market... the LG series will be a formidable competitor".
From perfectly neutral greyscales to excellent multi-panel wallpaper consistency (only 0.46 mm variance over a metre), the LG-640 is the ultimate tool for the modern print professional.
