Focus on Digital Printing
Roland DG (UK) Seven reasons to choose TrueVIS VG2
Following the release of the new TrueVIS VG2 series in March 2019, Roland DGʼs latest wide format printer/cutter has changed the fates of many sign and
graphics businesses, letting them deliver faster jobs with exceptional quality. Here are seven reasons why you should consider the VG2 for your next purchase.
● Same-day installation: In any profitable business, time is money,
especially when your customers demand a rapid turnaround. In conjunction with the newly developed TR2 ink, the TrueVIS VG2 solution features quick outgassing, meaning prints can be laminated and finished within six hours of printing.
● New orange ink: The addition of orange ink expands the colour gamut, delivering accurate colour ideal for matching corporate brand colours. The Orange Color System Library includes around 130 named colour references for simpler colour-matching and multi-colour ICC profiles to maximise colour gamut, even in photographic images. Users donʼt even need to compromise between colour vibrancy and neutrality of grayscale due to the new True Rich Color feature which delivers vivid, punchy output.
● New TrueVIS TR2 ink: TrueVIS TR2 ink is great for reproducing colour, providing more realism and increased colour gamut in printed images for outdoor and indoor applications. It also performs brilliantly in applications where stretch, adhesion and rub resistance are crucial. For garment decoration, TR2 ink delivers unmatched washability for long- lasting results. TR2 ink is also efficient, allowing low ink consumption costs and up to three years unlaminated outdoor durability.
● Certified by the industryʼs leading media suppliers: The TrueVIS VG2 and TR2 solution is certified for long-lasting results under the 3M MCS Warranty. They are also certified by the Avery Dennison ICS Performance Guarantee. Due to its low chemical emissions, TR2 ink also certified Greenguard Gold making it safe for indoor graphics applications.
