BLI Pick award given to Roland DG and the TrueVIS XP-640
Roland has taken home more accolades after its new TrueVIS XP-640 inkjet printer received the BLI Pick award for “Outstanding Gamut Expansion Eco-Solvent / Latex 54”/64” Printer”.
The prize was given by Keypoint Intelligence, a global independent research organisations for testing and evaluating office equipment for business users.
The XP-640 produced accurate and unparalleled colour matching reproduction during testing. With Keypoint’s suite of PANTONE colour matching for 15 difficult-to-reproduce corporate logo colours, the device achieved an average of only Delta E00 2.1, which is a “stunning” result.
David Sweetnam, director of EMEA/APAC research and lab services at Keypoint Intelligence, said: The wide colour gamut and colour reproduction exceeded all other printers we have tested, setting a new standard in the graphic arts field, which has always demanded strict quality.
“The combination of CMYKLkOrGrRe inks delivers the largest colour gamut of any wide-format printers we have tested to date.
“The difference between high-quality and high-speed print modes is minimal, with a recorded average of 780,415 colours. Which means it is capable of providing consistently high print quality even at high speed.”
Ryugo Nimura, president of Roland DG’s global sales and marketing division said: “We are very honoured to receive the Pick Award and proud that Keypoint’s rigorous testing has confirmed the XP-640’s ability to outperform other companies’ products.
“We will continue to contribute further to the evolution of the sign and graphic industry to expand the possibilities for customers’ creativity and business growth.”
