中文Roland DG, a world-leading provider of wide-format digital printing solutions, has announced the TrueVis AG-640, a next-generation 64-inch latex printer/cutter that expands what is possible with latex printing. Combining low running costs, high output quality, expanded colours, dense white ink and integrated contour cutting, the AG-640 helps print professionals reduce production costs, expand application capabilities and take on higher-value work.
As demand grows for high-quality, fast-turnaround applications at reduced operating costs, businesses need solutions that combine speed, flexibility, reliability and efficiency. The AG-640 meets those needs, giving print service providers, sign makers and graphics professionals a versatile tool for a wide range of applications from a single device.
Built on Roland DG’s long-standing print-and-cut expertise, the AG-640 is the world’s first latex printer with integrated cutting functionality, enabling users to contour cut and print seamlessly. It is particularly well suited to businesses maximising floor space and handling varied work, from wraps, wallcoverings, banners and posters to stickers, labels and decals, where print-and-cut simplifies production. The integrated cutting maintains the cut accuracy customers expect from Roland DG’s eco-solvent and UV platforms while delivering the benefits of single-device production: reduced equipment needs, more floor space, greater convenience and less operator handling.
The integrated cutting capability is the headline differentiator. By combining printing and contour cutting in a single pass on a single device, the AG-640 removes a handoff that has long added time, labour and potential misregistration to print-and-cut jobs. For shops producing stickers, decals, labels and short-run signage, that consolidation translates directly into faster turnaround and a smaller equipment footprint, freeing floor space and reducing the number of operator touches per job.
Print quality gets a significant lift from Roland DG’s newly developed TA-2 water-based latex inks and the latest piezo printheads, delivering high-precision dot control and consistent, high-definition output across media. Beyond standard CMYK, the inclusion of Orange and Red inks expands the colour gamut for vibrant, accurate reproduction, while high-density White ink supports graphics on transparent, coloured and specialty materials. An integrated optimizer supports precise ink placement, reliable quality and durability across common and specialty media.
Colour capability has also been a clear focus. The addition of Orange and Red inks alongside standard CMYK broadens the reproducible gamut, while high-density White ink extends what is possible on transparent, coloured and speciality substrates. Combined with the TA-2 water-based latex inks and updated piezo printheads, the result is output engineered for both visual impact and the durability buyers expect from professional wide-format work.
Versatility is at the core of the design. In addition to signage, display graphics, vehicle graphics, window displays and exhibition visuals, the AG-640 unlocks wallcoverings, retail interiors and graphics for corporate, hospitality, school and healthcare settings. Its instant-dry latex ink technology enables immediate finishing with no outgassing, accelerating turnaround and taking on a wider range of jobs. It also produces a thin, media-like layer that helps preserve the natural appearance and surface characteristics of the substrate.
Workflow and efficiency benefit from powerful, user-friendly VersaWorks 7 RIP software, integrated print-and-cut, intelligent media handling and job-saving functions that reduce setup time, media waste and unnecessary operator steps, yielding a simpler workflow with lower operating costs and greater throughput.
Environmental and workplace considerations shaped the inks. The water-based latex formulation is low odour with reduced environmental impact, making the printer suitable for sensitive environments such as hospitals, schools and public facilities. Combined with competitive running costs, the AG-640 offers an attractive upgrade path for existing latex users and expands Roland DG’s portfolio with another eco-friendly choice.
Positioned against Roland DG’s existing eco-solvent and UV platforms, the AG-640 gives the company a credible latex option for customers who prioritise low odour and reduced environmental impact, particularly in sensitive settings such as schools, hospitals and public facilities. As latex technology matures, the arrival of an integrated print-and-cut flagship signals that the category is no longer a compromise but a mainstream choice for versatile production, and gives sign and display producers a single, defensible platform around which to build a broader, higher-margin application mix.
For Roland DG, the AG-640 also strengthens its position in a market where customers increasingly expect a single vendor to cover multiple technologies. By spanning latex, eco-solvent and UV within one portfolio, the company can anchor a print provider’s entire wide-format operation, deepening the relationship and raising switching costs in its favour. That portfolio breadth is itself a quiet competitive moat that compounds as shops standardise on one supplier’s workflow and consumables.
Pricing and availability details were not disclosed, but the AG-640 is expected to slot into Roland DG’s mid-to-high wide-format range, targeting businesses ready to consolidate print and cut into one workflow. Early interest is likely from sign shops and graphics producers handling frequent short runs where contour cutting is currently a separate bottleneck that limits throughput and ties up floor space.
Ultimately, the AG-640’s significance lies less in any single specification and more in what it represents: the maturation of latex as a do-it-all platform. As integrated print-and-cut becomes standard rather than exceptional, the shops that adopt early will compound the advantage through faster turnaround and a wider, higher-margin application mix that would be harder to deliver with separate devices.
