The Roland
HeatWave™ Sublimation System

Overview - Features - Specs
 

Choose From Two HeatWave Models

The perfect foundation for your sublimation operation, Roland’s HeatWave systems come in two powerful models: the VersaCAMM SP-300VS 30-inch printer/contour cutter, and the VersaCAMM SP-540VS 54-inch printer/contour cutter. Loaded with HeatWave sublimation inks, both systems produce bold, crisp sublimation graphics for textiles, promotional items, jerseys, photo gifts, awards, signage, tile murals and more.

HeatWave Sublimation Ink For Consistent, Clog-Free Printing


HeatWave systems feature custom-formulated sublimation inks that achieve outstanding clog-free performance and an exceptionally vibrant color gamut. These advanced inks allow you to create bold, crisp sublimation graphics for textiles, promotional items, jerseys, photo gifts, awards, signage, tile murals and more.

HeatWave Sublimation Paper



HeatWave sublimation transfer paper delivers quality results time and after time. This heavyweight material is coated on both sides for extra stability and anti-cockle properties. It's also extremely easy to handle during the transfer process. Plus, its superior ink load capabilities yield maximum ink transfer for bright and colorful graphics.

Heat Transfer Media



Designed specifically for transfers to light and dark cotton or cotton blend garments, HTM handles well and delivers great color saturation. An opaque white media, HTM can be both printed and cut for truly custom results.

Print Quality



Based on Roland’s high-resolution variable droplet inkjet technology, HeatWave VersaCAMM and SOLJET systems precisely control droplet placement in both print head travel and paper feed directions. This advanced technology allows HeatWave to produce reliable, precision transfers with brilliant color for a full range of sublimation applications.

Bundled Software



Roland’s HeatWave systems come complete with powerful color management RIP software. Both the VersaCAMM SP-300VS and the SP-540VS include feature-packed VersaWorks™. Both packages have been customized for HeatWave sublimation, including universal sublimation profiles for several types of materials. These profiles take the guesswork out of sublimation, making it easy to control color saturation for consistent transfers every time. HeatWave software packages also feature simultaneous RIP & Print capability, enhanced color management, contour cutting, and direct printing from TIFF, JPEG, EPS, PS, PDF and DCS 2.0 files.

VersaCAMM Systems Include An Integrated Vinyl Cutter



In addition to producing brilliant sublimation graphics, HeatWave’s VersaCAMM models also perform as stand-alone vinyl cutters. With speed that rivals the CX PRO Series, the VersaCAMM cuts crisp, eye-catching vinyl graphics. You can also precision cut flock and our own HTM (Heat Transfer Material) for apparel.

Two Easy-To-Follow Workflows Make HeatWave Sublimation A Snap



For light-colored polyester fabric and sublimation-ready items such as mugs, plaques, signage, tiles, etc.:
1. Print a digital image using the HeatWave system, HeatWave sublimation ink, HeatWave sublimation transfer paper and Roland software sublimation profiles.
2. Put the freshly printed image on top of the sublimation-ready surface and place them together in a heat press.
3. Press the image and the substrate according to the recommended time and temperature settings (typically 400 degrees for 20-60 seconds) and remove it for a bright and durable finished product.


For cotton or cotton-blend garments (both light and dark colored):
1. Print/cut a digital image using the HeatWave system, HeatWave sublimation ink, Heat Transfer Media and Roland software sublimation profiles.
2. Put the freshly printed and cut image on top of the sublimation-ready surface and place them together in a heat press.
3. Press the image and the substrate according to the recommended time and temperature settings (typically 350 degrees for approximately 10 seconds) and remove it for a bright and durable finished product.
