TrueVis line-up. The printer is the world’s first
latex printer with integrated cutting functionality, enabling users to contour cut and print seamlessly. The AG-640 is particularly well suited
for businesses looking to maximise available floor space and efficiently handle a variety of work ranging from wraps, wallcoverings, banners and posters, to stickers, labels and decals where print & cut capabilities can help simplify production. The AG-640 uses Roland DG’s newly

In addition to standard CMYK, the printer includes orange and red inks as well as high-density white ink for further creative possibilities. The integrated optimiser ensures
stable ink placement and improved adhesion, particularly on commonly used sign media such as PVC, delivering reliable, high-quality results every time.
