Front-Loading Ink Cartridge Loading System
Every VersaCAMM VSi Series Printer/Cutter features a newly designed, easy -to-access front-loading ink cartridge system for increased convenience and ease of use.
Print Speeds
With print speeds of up to 289 sq. ft. per hour for CMYK applications (VS-640i) and print/cut capability, the VersaCAMM VSi further expedites the production cycle by allowing you to print and contour cut your designs together – even unattended – in one easy step.
Automated Ink Circulation System
Unlike other digital printing equipment, VSi Series wide-format printer/cutters come standard with Roland’s automated Ink Circulation System to prevent the pigments in metallic silver and white inks from settling. Designed to reduce waste of white and metallic silver ink, the circulation system dramatically lowers running costs while ensuring exceptional image quality throughout the longest production runs.
Two Print Modes for Metallic Effects
Choose from Blended and Layered print modes to optimize metallic images. Blended mode mixes CMYKLcLm and metallic silver ink together to produce more natural metallic colors, while Layered mode prints metallic silver first, followed by CMYKLcLm in one pass to add richness to metallic effects.
Low Running Costs
Eco-Sol MAX 2 inks boost the performance of Roland’s SOLJET, VersaArt and VersaCAMM inkjets at low running costs that both you and your customers will appreciate.
VersaWorks® RIP Software
Developed exclusively for Roland inkjet printers and printer/cutters, VersaWorks RIP software takes full advantage of the VSi Series’ capabilities. Based on the latest Adobe® CPSI 3019 engine, VersaWorks includes advanced error diffusion and 16-bit rendering for exceptional production output, unmatched ease of use and is fully compatible with Windows® 8, 7 and XP.
VersaWorks supports the Roland Color system, which accurately reproduces more than 1,000 standard colors and 512 metallic colors. A spot color replacement feature is included as well, allowing you to automatically replace a spot color with any option from within Roland Color without reopening the file in graphics editing software. VersaWorks also features PANTONE® spot color libraries which automatically converts specific PANTONE spot colors in your design file to a CMYK value.
Preset options include a High-Speed mode for production banner printing, the MAX impact preset for vivid outdoor graphics, and Artistic mode for exceptional indoor graphics. This advanced RIP also automatically estimates the ink usage and print time for each graphic, so you can accurately monitor time and costs. VersaWorks also offers Variable Data Printing, embedded ICC profile support, software proofing capabilities, ink level adjustment tools, and advanced cropping, tiling and nesting options.
High Speed Network Connection
Equipped with Roland’s own 100 Base-TX/10 Base-T interface, VSi Series printer/cutters connect seamlessly to office networks without additional software, achieving an increased data transmission rate of 100 Mb/sec. This makes it easy to configure a highly efficient printing environment.
Quadralign™
For laminated graphics, our Quadralign four-point optical registration system allows users to remove prints, laminate and simply reload them for precision cutting. Quadralign automatically realigns the cutting path and compensates for skew and distortion. Every VSi Series model can also function as a stand-along vinyl cutter.
Roland Intelligent pass Control Technology®
This system precisely controls dot placement between passes, allowing VersaCAMM VSi Series printer/cutters to produce smooth gradations and flawless solid colors, while achieving faster throughput with virtually no banding in all print modes. This technology increases productivity by delivering the same print quality at higher speeds.
Advanced Media Handling
True production printers, each VSi Series model features an advanced media handling system. The VS-640i allows users to feed rolls up to 88 pounds, while the VS-540i and VS-300i can handle rolls of up to 66 pounds and 55 pounds, respectively. Upgraded media flanges and seven pinch rollers secure the heaviest media in place, providing accurate feeding and tracking throughout the longest production runs. Print head height is adjustable to accomodate variable media thicknesses.
The World’s Most Intelligent Printers
Among the many benefits of owning a Roland inkjet is its ability to share information with you so you can print with confidence, even when you’re not there. A predictive Ink Calculator lets you see whether you’ll have enough ink to run the print jobs you’ve posted to the queue. Roland OnSupport then sends an e-mail to your computer or smart phone, notifying you when a job is completed or ink is running low.
Wiper System
A patent-pending wiper system is included to decrease wear and tear on the print head and prolong its life by reducing ink buildup. The VSi Series includes a combination of standard wipers and additional side wipers that reduce the maintenance issues caused by ink reservoirs and dust, resulting in fewer manual cleanings.
Integrated Heating System and Optional Benes Dryer
Roland printers are designed to dry prints quickly, even in high speed modes, for immediate finishing, installation or collection by the take-up system. Every VSi Series wide-format printer/cutter features a built-in, two-stage integrated heater system that accommodates a wide range of media. This advanced system delivers the proper amount of heat for each application, yielding outstanding results every time. For added convenience, users can store individual settings right in the printer. To ensure the highest image quality when printing white and metallic silver inks, Roland also offers the Benes dryer system as an option for VersaCAMM Series models.
One-Year Limitted Warranty
Roland inkjets combine unbeatable performance with legendary reliability. As with all Roland inkjets, VersaCAMM VSi Series printer/cutters offer years of reliable service, even in the most demanding shop environments. Each one is built with solid construction and enhancements for precise media control. VSi Series printer/cutters also feature automated print head maintenance systems for unmatched mechanical reliability.
As further proof of their unmatched reliability, Roland is pleased to offer an unprecedented One-Year Limitted Warranty for all VersaCAMM VSi models.
*Continuous exclusive use of Roland inks during the first one years of ownership is required to qualify for the free second year of limited warranty coverage. Customers may be asked to provide proof-of-purchase to substantiate uninterrupted use of Roland inks. Additional Terms and Conditions apply.
Environmental Certifications
In addition to using GREENGUARD Gold certified Eco-Sol MAX 2 inks, every VersaCAMM VSi Series printer/cutter is engineered for environmental efficiency. That means each model is equipped with features that minimize ink consumption and reduce environmental waste and operational costs. VersaCAMM VSi Series printer/cutters are also certified by Roland’s Eco-Label system, an ISO 14021 Type II label certifying compliance with the company’s internal environmental standards.
