Cutting-edge ink with 4-color, 8-color and Fluorescents.

The Texart RT-640 can be configured as a 4-color or 8-color device. In 4-color (CMYK) mode, Texart dye-sublimation inks produce velvety blacks and sharp details. In 8-color (CMYK+LcLmOrVi and CMYK+OrViFpFy) mode, the addition of Orange, Violet, Fluorescent Pink and Fluorescent Yellow inks produce an increased color gamut with both delicate and intense hues. Fluorescent Pink and Yellow inks can be combined with process colors (CMY+Fp+Fy) to produce an array of vivid fluorescents and soft pastel shades.

An advanced, 8-channel print head features efficient ink coverage that lowers running costs. Containing 180 nozzles per channel, it produces seven different droplet sizes for smooth color and gradations when used with Texart SBL3 inks that are 15% less per liter than conventional inks.

The Roland Ink System uses 1-liter airtight sealed pouches. When in 4-color (CMYK) mode, the system outputs 2-liters per color and automatically switches to the backup ink pouch when the primary pouch runs out. This proprietary Roland Ink Switching System provides a no-mess, non-stop production that leaves you free to work on other things.
