Roland DG Introduces 3rd Generation TrueVIS with Best Print and Cut Performance Ever

Roland DG Corporation announced today the launch of its third generation of TrueVIS wide-format inkjet printer cutters, including the professional flagship VG3-640 and VG3-540 models with up to eight ink colours and the value-packed SG3-540 and SG3-300 with four ink colours.

"Since its launch in 2016, we have focused on building upon our award-winning TrueVIS brand, to produce durable graphics with the extraordinary power to excite hearts and minds," said Tony Miller, President of Roland DG’s Global Sales and Marketing Division. "The combination of unparalleled colour, durability and ease of use has appealed to large numbers of digital print business owners, resulting in sales of more than 23,000 units."

"Our exciting new products were developed based on user feedback, with the goal of making the performance of the next instalment of the renowned TrueVIS brand even more intelligent and user-friendly than before," Miller said. "After thoroughly reviewing the previous hardware design, we developed a new platform from scratch. The rigidity of the body has been increased by four times, and the dot shape and position of the ink droplets can be controlled more accurately and consistently than ever before. Taking TrueVIS' best image quality to the next level has resulted in the next generation standard of excellence for Roland DG."

The flagship VG3 Series adopts a new eight-colour ink set of CMYKLcLmOrGr for unequalled colour matching and visual expression with a wider colour gamut using unique Orange and Green inks and smoother colours with reduced graininess using Light Cyan and Light Magenta. The new True Rich Color 3 preset optimises the potential of the printer’s superior colour reproduction and the wide colour gamut of TR2 inks to achieve a unique combination of vividness and natural appearance in a single graphic.

According to Miller, the new TrueVIS has been designed to offer excellent usability. The new TrueVIS features an easy-to-read, colour LCD touch panel. The panel offers access to check settings, real-time view of ink levels and media, and perform device commands. Both VG3 and SG3 models include a new media setting support function that reduces media skew for more accurate media loading. TrueVIS supports automatic media gap and feed compensation for a more stable, unattended workflow. The newly developed centre and side pinch rollers further optimise the pressure to hold the media in place, improving print and cut quality.

TrueVIS inkjets are designed to work with Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based app that provides numerous productivity-enhancing functions by connecting your devices.

"The world is changing dramatically," Miller added. "We live in an era where special experiences are required to excite people, so print producers are challenged to work more efficiently and creatively than ever. The VG3 and SG3 Series have been developed to create exceptional value for the future of the printing business and provide the finest image quality to as many customers as possible. Through the new TrueVIS, we are passionate about working together with our customers to open up new possibilities in the printing business."
