  • SOLJET™ PRO III XC-540MT

    As the world’s first inkjet printer/cutter developed exclusively for DPI award-winning Metallic Silver ECO-SOL MAX™ ink, the XC-540MT features six colors, CMYK+Metallic Silver+White (CMYK+Mt+W). Compatible with vinyl, PET film, canvas, paper, transparent film and banner substrates, the new metallic silver ink can be printed as a spot color or combined with the XC-540MT’s CMYK inks to produce a range of colored metallic effects including gold, silver, bronze and other pearlescent colors.

    With the XC-540MT, professionals can produce signs, banners, labels, POP displays, vehicle graphics and all types of wraps, taking advantage of a whole new metallic color palette. A double white ink model (CMYK+WW) is also available for the brightest white text, graphics and floods.

    Feature Summary

    • 54” eco-solvent inkjet printer/cutter optimized for metallic silver ink
    • Maximum print speed of 40.9 sqmt./hr. in CMYK mode
    • Photorealistic printing up to 1440x1440 dpi
    • Automated ink circulation system for white and metallic silver inks, reducing ink waste and costs
    • Automated take-up system and DU-540 dryer system included
    • Metallic Silver Effects

      In the past, gold and silver effects could only be produced using more complex printing systems such as offset and flexo presses, screen printing equipment or by foil stamping. Each of these technologies requires plate processing, making it difficult and costly to produce metallic graphics in small quantities. The revolutionary new XC-540MT has transformed this process. For the first time, professionals can take full advantage of Roland’s advanced inkjet technology to produce brilliant metallic graphics on demand – easily, profitably, and in any quantity.

      With Metallic Silver ECO-SOL MAX™ ink, thousands of new metallic colors are available. Metallic graphics command premium pricing and add sophistication to any graphic or marketing message. Metallic Silver ECO-SOL MAX™ ink has been recognized as a DPI Product of the Year, an accolade that reflects its exceptional image quality.

    • Automated Ink Circulation System

      To prevent the pigments in metallic silver and white inks from settling, the XC-540MT comes with Roland’s unique, patent-pending automated ink circulation system. The system automatically reduces waste of white and metallic silver ink by up to 84% for dramatically lower running costs. The system ensures exceptional image quality throughout the longest production runs.

    • Print/Cut Advantage

      Print & Cut WorkflowThe XC-540MT streamlines the production process by automatically contour cutting printed graphics. By eliminating the need to reload and reposition graphics, the XC-540MT integrated printer/cutter saves valuable time and effort.

    • Quadralign

      Quadralign

      For laminating graphics, simply remove prints, laminate and reload them for precision cutting. The Quadralign four-point optical registration system automatically realigns the cutting path and compensates for skew and distortion. The XC-540MT also functions as stand-alone vinyl cutter.

    • ECO-SOL MAX™ Inks

      ECO SOL MAXECO-SOL MAX™ is a remarkable innovation in ink technology, offering fast drying time, high density, wide color gamut, rugged scratch resistance, low cost per square meter, and broad uncoated media support. In addition, ECO-SOL MAX ™ is virtually odorless.

      The XC-540MT features ECO-SOL MAX ™ ink in four colors (CMYK) and in both 220ml and 440ml cartridges. ECO-SOL MAX graphics are water and UV resistant up to 3 years outdoors*. VersaWorks automatically monitors ink levels in both 220ml or 440ml cartridges and posts a warning when levels run low.

      * Outdoor durability is based on accelerated weather tests. Results may vary depending upon location and application. Dry times vary depending on specific media characteristics. Lamination may be required for some applications or environmental conditions.

    • Advanced Media Handling

      Media HandlingA true production printer, the XC-540MT features an upgraded media feed and take-up system accommodating rolls of up to 30 kgs. for long, unattended printing. Seven permanent repositionable pinch rollers enhance image quality through even the longest print runs.

    • Integrated Tri-Heater System

      The XC-540MT’s integrated tri-heater system dries prints quickly even in high-speed modes for immediate finishing, installation or collection by the take-up system. The system features three components: a pre-heater that improves media receptiveness, a print heater to accelerate ink fastness and brightness, and a dryer to accelerate the drying process and improve productivity, workability and scratch resistance. All can be controlled from either the printer panel or Roland VersaWorks™.

    • DU-540 Dryer System

      DU-540The DU-540 heater/blower is included with the XC-540MT. Depending on the media, it is necessary to use the included DU-540 dryer/blower unit to ensure proper ink adhesion and to assist with dry times. the DU-540 is also recommended to be ON when printing with the metallic silver and white ink configuration. Roland recommends 15 minutes of drying time in order for the metallic silver or white ink to dry fully. This is important in print modes where CMYK is printed on top of white or metallic silver. Testing prior to beginning production is highly recommended.
