Inkjet printers with wide-format inks are praised for their overall performance and “significant advantages over the competition”
IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Digital imaging leader Roland DGA Corporation has announced that two of its TrueVIS™ Series wide-format inkjets – the AP-640 Resin printer and the LG-640 UV printer/cutter – have earned coveted BLI (Buyers Lab) 2024 Pick Awards after receiving high marks in evaluation tests conducted by Keypoint Intelligence. The AP-640 was awarded in the Outstanding Entry-Level CMYK eco-solvent/Latex 54″/64″ printer category. While the LG-640 received the award in Outstanding UV 54’/64″ Printer Category.
Keypoint Intelligence has been testing and analyzing equipment for business users since more than 60 year. The test reports are highly regarded by companies and government organizations as a resource that is unbiased when it comes to selecting hardware devices.
“We are thrilled that the new AP-640 Resin printer and LG-640 UV printer/cutter – which recently joined the best-selling VG3 and SG3 eco-solvent models in our expanded TrueVIS product family – are receiving the recognition they deserve,” said Roland DGA President Amado Lara. “These inkjets are innovative and offer significant advantages to the competition. Print professionals can optimize output quality, maximize profitability, and increase productivity.”
Keypoint Intelligence’s Director of Lab Services EMEA/Asia, David Sweetnam“We were thrilled to test the latest models of the TrueVIS Series which reproduced stunning graphics with photographic-quality even at high speed. And the results exceeded expectations.”
Sweetnam stated that the requirements for the 2024 BLI Pick Award are more stringent than they were in previous years. In response to the constantly evolving state of technological innovation we have set even stricter criteria this year for evaluations, and Pick Award eligibility. The AP-640/LG-640 was rigorously tested for print quality, productivity, and usability. Both models achieved excellent results.
Sweetnam concluded, “The AP-640 Resin print passed our tests with flying colours, demonstrating high performances for color gamuts, color-matching outcomes, image quality and stable wallpaper consistency. The largest color gamut of any latex/resin print tested so far, the accuracy with which it reproduced Pantone colors, and the reproducibility that was very stable over time were all impressive. 30m Wallpaper printing test. This newly introduced printer should be a formidable competitor to its competitors.
“The LG-640UV printer was evaluated for two ink configurations – dual-CMYK and CMYKReOrWhWh,” Sweetnam pointed out. The dual-CMYK printer is designed to provide high-quality output, with an impressive color gamut. The other model is equipped with CMYKReOrWhWh, which offers the greatest flexibility for achieving high-quality print results. Roland DG is expanding its competitive advantage in the UV Market and the LG Series will no doubt be a formidable rival.
