Features
High-Speed Production Printing
Designed to address a wide gamut of applications, banners, signs, point of purchase displays, event graphics, vehicle graphics and more, the six-color (CMYK+LcLm) SOLJET PRO III XJ Series achieves maximum print speeds of up to 458 sqft./hr for 74” XJ-740, 449.5 sqft./hr for the 64” XJ-640 and 441 sqft./hr for the 54” XJ-540.
The high-speed network interface card delivers rapid data transfer optimizing the demands of high resolution output.
The optional dryer/blower unit (DU-540/640/740) further expedites the production process by accelerating the drying time of unattended high speed production printing.

Outstanding Print Quality
XJ series produces photorealistic graphics that look great up close and at a distance. XJ printers precisely control droplet placement in both the print head travel and paper feed directions to provide up to 1440x1440 dpi resolution.
Equipped with Piezo print heads, the XJ design features a digital servomotor to control the media for precision imaging. 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 print speeds on a wide range of media from vinyl and banner to paper and mesh.
System enhancements include enhanced grit accuracy as well as new media flanges, pinch rollers and grit rollers for flawless media feeding and tracking. Extended built-in media edge clamps prevent media curling and ragged edges.
To further ensure the highest print quality, VersaWorks offers precision spot color matching through the Roland Color System. VersaWorks also supports industry standard ICC profiles, comes with several Roland media profiles, and is compatible with profiles created through standard profiling packages. An updated list of Roland profiles can be accessed through the Roland@NETservice.
Precision Firing Pattern
Roland’s unique precision firing pattern has been optimized for the XJ’s piezo print heads to achieve unparalleled image quality in every print mode. As a result, the XJ produces dense, rich colors and high-contrast images with no traces of banding at the highest print speeds.
Advanced ECO-SOL MAX Ink
ECO-SOL MAX eco-solvent ink delivers high color density and a wide gamut for exceptional images print after print. ECO-SOL MAX performs on a wide range of both coated and uncoated media, including backlit film, for increased versatility. Fast-drying and scratch-resistant, ECO-SOL MAX produces prints that dry quickly for easy handling throughout the production and finishing processes. Packaged in easy, no-mess 220 and 440 ml cartridges, ECO-SOL MAX is virtually odorless for maximum convenience and comfort.
Automated Maintenance System
The XJ features an automated maintenance system that saves valuable ink and time, resulting in lower overall running costs. The XJ’s in-line print head configuration eliminates the need for lengthy calibration procedures as well.
Heavy-Duty Take-Up System
The XJ includes an automated media feed and take-up system to facilitate precision unattended printing. This pre-assembled unit includes convenient front-mounted feed and take-up rollers and an advanced tension-controlled take-up system for optimum media feed and tracking. The system handles rolls weighing up to 103 lbs for the XJ-740, 88 lbs. for the XJ-640, and 66 lbs. for the XJ-540.
VersaWorks RIP Software
VersaWorks is powerful RIP software developed by Roland engineers for the company’s inkjet technology. Built upon the genuine Adobe ® PostScript ® CPSI ™ RIP engine, VersaWorks features an efficient graphical user interface that allows users to maximize their Roland inkjet without a lengthy learning curve.
VersaWorks is packed with features including layout, edit and print functions as well as Roland Color, Roland’s exclusive spot color fidelity system featuring the tools you need to select a spot color with your customer knowing exactly how it will print on a specific media on your device. Variable Data Printing is also included, a powerful feature that allows users to merge txt or CSV data fields with a pre-defined design template to output variable text and graphic elements.
VersaWorks also offers the ability to preview jobs on screen, reducing ink and media consumption due to mistakes. Users can use two job queues for handling different print conditions and can automatically update VersaWorks through the Internet, ensuring that they always have the latest software version and Roland DGA ICC profiles available. VersaWorks is compatible with Windows® XP Professional, 2000 and Windows Vista™.
Integrated Tri-Heater System
The XJ’s integrated tri-heater system dries prints quickly even in high-speed modes for immediate finishing, installation or collection by the take-up system. The system features three components: a pre-heater that improves media receptiveness, a print heater to accelerate ink fastness and brightness, and a dryer to accelerate the drying process and improve productivity, workability and scratch resistance. All can be controlled from either the printer panel or Roland VersaWorks.

Reliability
As with all Roland inkjet printers, the XJ is a virtually bulletproof production machine. With regular maintenance, it will provide years of trouble-free service. But, unlike most inkjets that require daily maintenance, the XJ requires servicing significantly less often. The XJ 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.
Low Running Costs
ECO-SOL MAX boosts the performance of Roland’s SOLJET and VersaCAMM inkjets at low running costs that both you and your customers will appreciate.
