IRVINE, CA, Aug 31, 2007 – Roland DGA Corporation, a leading provider of wide-format inkjet printers and integrated print/cutters, today introduced a new optional high-capacity ink system and low-cost sublimation ink for its Hi-Fi Express FP-740 74” sublimation inkjet printer.

The new HeatWave BU-1 optional high-capacity ink system and SBL2 sublimation ink together support long, unattended production runs and delivers exceptional colorfastness to FP-740 sublimated graphics. The new SBL2 ink is the company’s newest and most advanced HeatWave ink formulation to date. SBL2 images well on lightweight, flexible fabrics for vivid color flags, banners and textiles that are easy to handle, inexpensive to ship, and safe to install.

“We are pleased to offer this valuable new performance option to our FP-740 customers,” said Ron Ball, managing director of technical and customer services for Roland. “Together, the BU-1 system and SBL2 ink lower production costs, making sublimated graphics more profitable. Packaged in 1-liter bottles, SBL2 inks also support unattended, high-volume printing for greater overall productivity.”

The new SBL2 ink produces rich, high-density colors and dries quickly. SBL2’s advanced formulation creates a very fine dot pattern for maximum ink transfer to the final fabric. As a result, sublimated graphics reflect flawless, even ink coverage and deep, vivid colors with absolutely no banding.

New high-capacity ink system for 74” Hi-Fi Express FP-740
Low-cost sublimation ink packaged in 1-liter bottles
System supports high-volume, unattended production
Produces dense, vivid colors for sublimated flags, banners and textiles

The FP-740 maintains image quality even through long production runs for consistent, reliable prints every time. Sublimated prints are easily transferred to polyester fabric, preserving the fabric’s natural drape and texture. The new BU-1 optional high-capacity ink system is priced at $3,995 and available to both new and existing FP-740 customers. SBL2 ink is priced at $204.99 per 1 liter bottle.
