HeatWave SP-300VS, SP-540VS & SJ-1045
Features
1. Choose From Three HeatWave Models
The perfect foundation for your sublimation operation, Roland’s HeatWave systems come in three powerful models: the VersaCAMM® SP-300VS 30-inch printer/contour cutter, the VersaCAMM® SP-540VS 54-inch printer/contour cutter, and the SOLJET SJ-1000EXS 104-inch wide-format printer. Loaded with HeatWave sublimation inks, all three systems produce bold, crisp sublimation graphics for textiles, promotional items, jerseys, photo gifts, awards, signage, tile murals and more. The SJ-1045EXS system is both Roland’s largest and fastest printer, boasting a blinding print speed of 484 square feet per hour.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Bundled Software
Roland’s HeatWave systems come complete with powerful color management RIP software. The VersaCAMM SP-300VS and the SP-540VS includes feature-packed VersaWorks™, and the SJ-1045EXS includes COLORIP® software. 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.
7. 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.
