Leading wide-format manufacturer Roland DG Corporation released its new Texart XT-640 inkjet printer for the textile printing industry.
The XT-640 is a dye sublimation printer designed for the production of a wide range of applications including sportswear, fashion, soft signage, interior decoration and promotional merchandise, and features dual print heads to achieve production print speeds of 41m²/hr to 63m²/hr with high speed modes up to 102m²/hr.
“The XT-640 meets the needs of professional textile production with excellent output performance and image quality,” said Gino Farina, sales and marketing director for Roland DG Australia. “In October 2014, Roland DG launched the RT-640 as the first product in the Texart brand lineup. With the RT-640, we looked for a wide range of textile decoration applications, including sports and fashion apparel, soft signs such as polyester banners and flags, curtains and other interior décor as well as promotional goods and personalised gifts. Since the RT-640’s launch, we have confirmed the demand for higher volume production in this area. The XT-640 was developed as the ideal solution to meet this need.
“In the fashion apparel field, trend cycles are becoming shorter, as seen in the desire for personalisation that represents individual preferences and lifestyles,” Farina said. “Within these trends, there is growing demand for digital printers that can quickly provide custom one-off and small-lot production. Also, in the field of sports apparel, highly functional polyester materials such as sweat-absorbing, quick-drying and dry-touch features have become popular. There is increasing focus on dye sublimation transfer printers that can produce patterns and logos simultaneously while avoiding the uncomfortable seams inside that arise due to post-process sewing.”
Prior to the XT-640’s launch, Roland DG acquired OEKO-TEX® Standard 100, product class I certification, ensuring the safety of textile items printed with the XT-640 using Texart ink. “Our aim is to provide print businesses not only with excellent productivity and image quality, but also with added value including safety and eco-friendly aspects,” said Farina.
