The world's first inkjet printer/cutter with metallic silver ink - Roland DG

The world’s first inkjet printer/cutterwith metallic silver inkThe new XC-540MT printer/cutter uses CMYK, white and metallicsilver inks. By combining these inks, you can produce a broadrange of metallic colours like gold, bronze and pearlescent.This makes the XC-540MT ideal for the production of beautiful,eye-catching labels, decals, packaging prototypes, displays andmore.2009 Dpi Productof The YearDigital Ink Category• Combine high performance with legendary versatilityThe revolutionary XC-540MT is based on the award-winning XC-540 printer/cutter. By merging unattendedprinting and automated contour cutting into a single device, the XC-540MT streamlines the production processfor labels, decals, POP displays, banners, signs and vehicle wraps. Roland Intelligent Pass Control assures thehighest productivity while maintaining smooth gradations and flawless solid colours. For laminated graphics,Roland’s QuadrAlign optical registration system realigns the cutting path and compensates for skew anddistortion.• Express your ideas brilliantlyThe XC-540MT features six colours: CMYK, white and metallic silver. The metallic silver ink transforms standardcolours into a spectrum of new metallic hues including gold, bronze and pearlescent colours. The XC-540MT isalso available in a double white ink configuration (CMYK + W + W) for the brightest white texts and graphics.*• Includes easy-to-use VersaWorks RIP softwareWith the VersaWorks RIP software, anyone can achieve a professional print quality. Advanced skills or previousexperience aren’t needed. The Roland Color System accurately reproduces spot colours from colour charts andswatch books including 12 new metallic colours for the XC-540MT. VersaWorks automatically estimates the inkconsumption and print time for each graphic in order to accurately monitor time and costs. VersaWorks alsooffers a wide range of print options including a high-speed mode for the production of banners, the Max Impactpreset for vivid outdoor graphics and an artistic mode for exceptional indoor graphics. VersaWorks is built on thegenuine Adobe PostScript 3 engine for reliable quality and operation.Spectacular window decorationDistinctive product labels* Ink configuration (either Metallic Silver + White or double White) must be selected upon purchase. Theglossiness of metallic colours depends on the media used. For best results, test print on each substrate beforestarting with the production. Lamination is strongly recommended for indoor and outdoor graphics to protectmetallic inks from scratching.• Lower your running costs with the advanced ink circulation systemAttention-getting POP displaysHigh-quality postersThe XC-540MT features an automated ink circulation system that prevents the pigments in silver and white inkfrom settling. The system requires no manual intervention and reduces ink waste by up to 84%. The system alsoenables printing immediately after turning on the device.*Results are based on Roland DG’s comparison test between XC-540MT models with and without the inkcirculation system.
