Unlock Unmatched Color and Precision with the Roland DG TrueVIS XP-640

If you’re in the graphics business and rely on wide-format printing for your high-end output, then the Roland DG TrueVIS XP-640 might just be your next powerhouse. This 64-inch wide-format printer sets a new standard for image quality, color fidelity, and production efficiency, making it a smart investment whether you’re printing vehicle wraps, signage, wallpaper, or high-resolution marketing graphics.

Let’s take a deep dive into what makes the XP-640 a standout choice for your print shop, especially if you’re operating in competitive markets like Denver, Boulder, or Fort Collins.

1. Designed for High-Volume Output Without Sacrificing Quality

In a production environment where time is money, speed matters—but not at the cost of quality. The XP-640 is engineered with two larger staggered printheads, allowing it to eject finer ink droplets at higher densities. What this means for you is higher resolution output at lower pass rates, effectively speeding up production without compromising the final result.

Whether you run a fast-moving print operation or offer premium services to clients with strict color standards, this printer gives you the flexibility to prioritize either speed or resolution depending on the job.

Key Speed Insights:

  • 6-pass mode (monomeric vinyl): Two A0 targets printed in 8 minutes and 55 seconds.

  • 8-pass mode (cast vinyl): Completed in 11 minutes and 47 seconds.

  • High-quality mode (12-pass): Delivered top-tier output in just 21 minutes.

While not the absolute fastest in its category, it more than makes up for that with color precision and image detail that’s unmatched.

2. Industry-Leading Color Accuracy and Gamut

Color matters. And with the XP-640, you’re getting the widest color gamut Keypoint Intelligence has ever measured in a wide-format device. Thanks to its expanded 8-color configuration (CMYKLk + Green, Orange, and Red), you can achieve astoundingly accurate brand color matches.

You’ll appreciate how the XP-640 handles corporate branding colors with finesse, delivering sub DeltaE 4.0 color accuracy across all 15 of the most challenging PANTONE corporate logo shades—something no other device has done to date.

Color Highlights:

  • Average DeltaE of 2.1 in high-quality mode.

  • First device to achieve <4.0 DeltaE across all 15 corporate brand colors.

  • Maintains color consistency even between different speed modes.

For Colorado businesses in industries like retail, sports, real estate, and automotive where brand color consistency is essential, this kind of performance could be a game-changer.

3. Seamless Media Handling for Reduced Downtime

Loading and managing media can be a hassle—especially if your equipment makes the process overly manual. The XP-640 simplifies it with spindle-less loading, automated feed calibration, vacuum hold, and an upgraded take-up system. It’s designed to reduce human error and speed up job transitions.

Whether you’re printing banners for downtown Denver events or wraps for vehicles in Colorado Springs, this printer helps ensure you can handle frequent media changes without slowing down production.

Media Management Features:

  • Stores up to 20 media profiles.

  • Supports up to 45 kg rolls—a strong spec in its category.

  • Optional perforated sheet cutter allows continuous printing with simplified sheet separation.

  • Supports both auto and manual head gap adjustments for different substrates.

4. User-Friendly Interface and Automation

Technology should make your life easier, and the XP-640 does just that with its seven-inch responsive touchscreen, which provides at-a-glance access to everything from ink levels to media settings. Plus, Roland DG Connect, the cloud-based management platform, allows you to monitor multiple devices remotely, track print job costs, check maintenance schedules, and ensure your printer health stays in top shape.

This level of integration and automation is perfect for growing print shops in Colorado looking to scale without constantly expanding their workforce.

5. Superior Halftone and Detail Reproduction

When you’re printing close-view signage, trade show displays, or fine art, the finer details matter. The XP-640 excels in reproducing halftones, natural skin tones, and vibrant memory colors, making it ideal for client-facing materials where color and sharpness leave a lasting impression.

Notable Performance Points:

  • Excellent scores in light and dark contrast reproduction.

  • Natural, smooth skin tone transitions—ideal for portraits and people-focused prints.

  • Minimal grayscale distortion, even in high-speed modes.

6. Eco-Conscious Ink System with Minimal Maintenance

As sustainability becomes increasingly important to businesses and clients, the XP-640’s eco-solvent TH inks and recyclable 500ml cartridge system are a welcome bonus. Ink levels are tracked via chips on each cartridge, and the maintenance process is tool-free, requiring just a five-minute weekly cleaning.

Additionally, Roland DG’s nozzle compensation function ensures that even if there’s an ink jet issue, your printer can continue operating without immediate technician intervention—maximizing uptime.

7. Cost Control and Business Insights Built In

One of the standout software features is the Business Dashboard inside Roland DG Connect. Here, you can enter the cost of ink and media, allowing you to generate accurate job cost reports and profit estimates—a must-have for small to medium-sized Colorado print businesses wanting tighter control over their margins.

If you’re running multiple printers or managing a team of operators, this feature enables better planning, more accurate quoting, and improved profitability without manual spreadsheets or guesswork.

Is the Roland DG TrueVIS XP-640 Right for You?

If you’re looking for:

  • Unrivaled color accuracy and brand color matching

  • A printer that can grow with your business and handle diverse media types

  • Built-in tools that simplify workflow, reduce waste, and maximize uptime

  • A platform that integrates seamlessly with your existing Roland DG environment

Then the XP-640 should be on your shortlist.
