ROLAND XC-540

High Speed, High Quality Outdoor Printer/Cutter

The XC-540s Advanced Media Handling System,

Precision Firing Pattern technology, and improved print modes make it possible for the XC-540 to produce quality graphics at even the highest print speeds without a loss of image density. Building upon proven Roland engineering and technology, the XC-540 masters the most complex Print/Cut applications while also handling up to 54’ wide media at a maximum print speed of 441 sfph for high volume banner production. This dual functionality makes the XC-540 the most versatile wide format digital printer capable of meeting the demands of a professional, high-volume workflow.

Incredible ease of use

Many devices on the market require time spent on maintaining or configuring the device before actual printing is possible. Not the XC-540. Likewise, for the high-volume production shop, TCP/IP connectivity is really the only option. That is why the XC-540 was designed with in integrated 10/100 network interface card (NIC). Not only can the Roland developed card be configured to operate with your network environment directly from the printer menu, but it also gives the operator the advantage of not needing a dedicated computer placed next to the printer. Like all Roland inkjet devices, the XC-540 is designed with automated cleaning and periodic maintenance functions. These features enable the XC-540 to effectively maintain and clean itself, therefore requiring minimal bimonthly operator maintenance. The XC-540 was designed for faster access to key components and the on-board menu is arranged for easy navigation.

New Precision Firing Pattern

When printing at higher speeds, many printers can produce only low density color with severely reduced image quality. Roland’s unique Precision Firing Pattern was designed to achieve the highest printing speeds possible while maintaining vibrant high density colors. The XC-540 takes advantage of this advanced firing pattern that has been optimized for the advanced piezo print heads. The XC-540’s 6-color CMYKLcLm configuration, produces higher color quality with an extended gamut and tonal density in any print mode enabling the 6-color XC-540 to produce stunning images with unparalleled image color, density, and quality. In addition, Roland’s in-line head configuration does away with the need for lengthy calibration procedures and costly down time. Since the XC-540 was designed with the production printer in mind, the unit comes standard with a protective removable tray for the new Eco-SOL MAX 440ml cartridges allowing for higher volume printing without the need for frequent ink cartridge replacement.

Advanced media handling

Improvements to the media handling system include an increased maximum media weight of 66 lbs, allowing for longer roll lengths. The XC-540 also boasts 7 permanent and repositionable pinch rollers giving the XC-540 the ability to run long printing jobs at higher speeds while maintaining image quality.

Automated media take-up system

The XC-540 comes standard with an advanced take-up and tension system as part of the media feed system. This system allows for high speed graphic production with ease and, since this system is integrated into the XC-540 stand. The XC-540’s extended media guides, vacuum platen and adjustable head height make it possible to print on thin or lighter weight media that might otherwise have a tendency to buckle while printing.

Integrated Tri-Heater System

The integrated Tri-Heater system on the XC-540 makes high speed printing and take-up possible. The heating system consists of three elements. A Pre-heater opens pores in the vinyl or banner material to improve media receptiveness. The Print Heater helps to accelerate ink fastness and brightness by ensuring that ink is absorbed into the substrate. Finally, the Dryer accelerates ink drying to improve productivity, workability and scratch resistance.
