Roland DG’s TrueVIS VG Printer/Cutters Awarded by Buyers Lab

Roland DGA (Irvine, CA) announced that Roland DG’s TrueVIS VG series wide-format printer/cutters recently won two prestigious Buyers Lab awards, including Outstanding Enhanced CMYK Eco Solvent/Latex 54/64-in. Printer (7-Color) and Outstanding High Production CMYK Eco-Solvent/Latex 54-in.64” Printer (Dual CMYK). Keypoint Intelligence’s Buyers Lab (BLI), the world’s leading independent provider of testing and analysis for the document imaging industry, selected the TrueVIS VG-640 and VG-540 for recognition in its two categories.  

BLI analysts evaluated a variety of inkjets from contenders globally in a number of key performance categories, including image quality, usability and speed. Roland DG’s TrueVIS VG series (VG-640, VG-540) demonstrated “very high quality output, even when printing at the most productive speed settings,” according to BLI. VG series printer/cutters were also cited for producing “the widest gamut of bright, saturated colors, as well as smooth skin tones with very good highlight details and contrast.”

When evaluating “usability,” BLI noted that the VersaWorks Dual RIP software bundled with both the VG-640 and VG-540 provided intuitive operation for diverse tasks such as job tiling and nesting, job queue and ink consumption monitoring, and the ability to readily modify process and PANTONE colors. Also impressing the BLI analysts were other advanced VG series features, including the standard take-up reel for unattended printing, an ink pouch replacement system that reduces overall waste and remote printer monitoring via iOS and Android devices.

In a presentation ceremony at the SGIA Expo in Las Vegas, David Sweetnam, Director of Research and Lab Services for Keypoint Intelligence, congratulated Roland DG s Kohei Tanabe, President, Digital Printing Business Division (both pictured above).
