Roland - The SOLJET PRO II
SC-545 EX

Overview - Features - Specs
 
Print/Cut Advantage



The SC-545EX streamlines the production process by automatically contour cutting printed graphics. By eliminating the need to reload and reposition graphics, the SC-545EX's integrated cutters save time and effort.

V Technology

With the advent of V Technology, Roland has re-engineered its award winning SOLJET wide-format line and made it even better. V Technology combines several hardware and software refinements that boost production speed while allowing you to print and die-cut complex graphics with greater ease and precision than ever before. Together, these upgrades add up to the utmost in printing, cutting, ink, media and RIP technology, and make the SOLJET PRO II V Series ideal for all manner of advanced wide-format applications.

Quadralign™



For laminating graphics, simply remove prints, laminate and reload them for precision cutting. The Quadralign four-point optical registration system automatically realigns the cutting path and compensates for skew and distortion. The SC-545EX can also function as a stand-alone vinyl cutter.


Advanced Eco-SOL INK



Roland Eco-SOL INK is formulated especially for SOLJET and VersaCAMM™ inkjets. It yields outdoor durable graphics on both coated and uncoated materials without any need for special ventilation or environmental equipment. The advanced solvent ink comes in 220ml no-mess cartridges of CMYK + LcLm. It is both safe to use and virtually odor free.

Great Print Quality



The SC-545EX precisely controls droplet placement in both the print head travel and paper feed directions to provide true 1440 x 1440 dpi resolution in Artistic Mode. It uses a digital servomotor to control the media and features Piezo print heads.

Variable droplet technology uses micro-precise ink droplets of three different sizes depending on the type of output. This state-of-the-art technology delivers truly breathtaking output with beautifully smooth, dot-free tones even at high speed.

To further ensure the highest print quality, VersaWorks supports industry standard ICC profiles. In addition, VersaWorks comes with several Roland media profiles and is compatible with profiles created through standard profiling packages. An updated list of profiles can be accessed through the Roland@NET service.

Reliability



The PRO II V is a bulletproof production machine. With regular maintenance, it provides years of trouble-free service. But, unlike most inkjets that require daily maintenance, the PRO II V gets serviced significantly less often. The PRO II V’s ink system features a motor-driven elevator that automatically adjusts to print head height. It has wipers that clean two heads at a time and flush the ink on each pass.

Bundled Software



VersaWorks is a powerful software RIP developed exclusively for Roland inkjets. VersaWorks features an efficient GUI operation that allows you to take full advantage of a wide variety of layout, edit and print functions such as nesting, tiling and auto/manual-layout, among others. These features combine with an advanced color management system to ensure the highest overall levels of performance. In addition, VersaWorks offers the ability to preview jobs on screen, reducing ink and media consumption. It features network support for both Windows and Mac users and simplifies printing by offering two job queues for different print conditions. Users can automatically update VersaWorks through the Internet, ensuring that they have the latest version and ICC profiles available. VersaWorks is built upon the genuine Adobe® PostScript® 3™ engine and is compatible with Windows 2000/XP.

Network Connection



Equipped with a standard 100 BASE-TX/10 BASE-T interface, the PRO II V Series connects seamlessly to office networks with a data transmission rate of 1.1 Mb/sec. This makes it easy to configure a highly efficient printing environment.

Eco-SOL Media



Eco-SOL Media is developed especially for Roland Eco-SOL INK, which is used by VersaCAMM™ and SOLJET inkjets. It includes a wide selection of competitively priced, uncoated adhesive-backed vinyls and other popular substrates. The line-up currently consists of glossy, matte, clear and translucent calendered, premium cast vinyl, premium reflective vinyl, view-through vinyl, flame retardant scrim banner, blockout scrim banner and solvent glossy paper.

Roland also offers an additional 20 materials that optimize SOLJET and VersaCAMM™ print quality. They include heat transfer material, backlit film, matte artist canvas and a high-quality matte paper in its SCM, PQM, PGM, PCM and VSM media line-ups.

Blazing Print Speed



In addition to printing fine art reproductions, the PRO II V Series can produce 450 x 360 dpi signs and POP displays at 315 sqft/hr. With one-inch-wide print heads that employ 360 nozzles each, the PRO II V prints large 30-sqft banners in only 6 minutes.

Now that color will match the chip that your customer selected.
