Focus on Inkjet Printers
A true workhorse of the industry, inkjet printers are used by many, but it can be difficult to know what is currently out there. Below you’ll find the latest technology in inkjet printers currently available to the industry.
Roland DG
Delivering refined image quality and smarter production
Roland DG has introduced the TrueVis VG4 Series, a new generation of eco-solvent print & cut devices designed to deliver premium-quality graphics with greater efficiency and control. Available in 54in (VG4-540) and 64in (VG4-640) models,
the VG4 Series builds on the established TrueVis platform, combining refined image quality with enhanced productivity and ease of use. At its core is advanced print head technology and precise ink droplet control, producing sharper detail, smoother gradients, and highly accurate, repeatable colour output. The VG4 Series supports an expanded TR3 ink set, including red and light black, enabling a wider colour gamut, improved brand colour matching, richer mid-tones, and more neutral greys. Enhanced white ink performance delivers higher density and faster output, supporting demanding applications such as layered and backlit graphics.
Designed to streamline production, the VG4 introduces a range
of workflow improvements. Users can initiate print jobs directly from the printer’s control panel, while integration with Roland DG Connect allows for remote job management and monitoring. The included VersaWorks 7 RIP software further enhances efficiency with faster processing, improved colour tools, and

native PDF 2.0 support. Media handling and setup are also optimised, with stored presets enabling consistent results across jobs and materials. An integrated take-up unit and perforation sheet cut function support long, unattended print & cut runs, reducing manual intervention and finishing time. Engineered for cost-effective production, the VG4 Series
delivers improved ink utilisation and reduced waste, helping lower running costs while maintaining consistent output quality. Combined with simplified self-maintenance, the device is designed to maximise uptime and keep production moving. Overall, the TrueVis VG4 Series provides a balanced solution
for print professionals seeking high-impact results, reliable performance, and efficient day-to-day operation.

Inkjet printing has undergone a quiet but significant evolution in recent years, moving far beyond its traditional role as a low-cost, entry-level solution. Advances across print head technology, ink formulations, and media handling have positioned inkjet as a versatile and increasingly sophisticated option across a wide range of applications. From signage and graphics to packaging and décor, inkjet offers advantages in flexibility, reduced setup times, and the ability to produce high-quality output on demand. As businesses continue to prioritise efficiency and adaptability, inkjet has become an increasingly relevant part of the modern print landscape. HP has been one of the frontrunners in this ongoing evolution, developing new solutions to support customers with changing demands. One of HP’s latest solutions is its Latex FS70W, a 3.2m wide

machine that has a top colour speed of 117m sq/hr in outdoor mode. Featuring white ink as an option, this allows users to expand into higher-value applications by printing on coloured and transparent media, while maintaining strong opacity, colour vibrancy, and design flexibility. At FESPA 2025, HP launched its Latex 730 and 830 Printer Series, a range of four machines that all offer a maximum print width of 1.63m. The HP Latex 830 and 830W white ink models are slightly
faster, with a top speed of 36m sq/hr in outdoor mode, while the HP Latex 730 and 730W can print at speeds of 31m sq/hr. Also last year, the company launched the HP Latex R530,
the only compact all-in-one rigid and flexible printer in the HP Latex portfolio. Running at a maximum speed of 24m sq/hr in outdoor mode, the machine can handle media up to 1.6m wide and 5cm thick, while it also offers the popular white ink option. Together, these innovations reflect how inkjet continues to
evolve, offering users greater versatility, efficiency, and scope to diversify.
