Hi-Fi Express FP-740
Features
1. High Speed Printing
The FP-740 was built for high-speed, high-volume production. Featuring eight piezo inkjet print heads, the FP-740 prints at a maximum speed of 548 sqft./hr. at 270x360 dpi resolution. This high-speed mode is perfect for professional quality T-shirts, textiles, and much more. In addition, the FP-740 offers a range of print speeds and image resolutions including high-quality 720x720 dpi mode.
2. Advanced Maintenance System
Many high-volume sublimation printers require daily maintenance in order to correctly perform. The FP-740 takes virtually no time. Its automated maintenance system performs routine maintenance, eliminating many time-consuming manual maintenance tasks. As a result, manual cleaning is only recommended every two weeks.
3. Automated Media Take-Up System
The FP-740 includes an automated front-mounted media take-up system to facilitate precision printing even when unattended. This sensor-guided take-up system adjusts automatically to eliminate excess slack in the media.
4. Extended Capacity Ink Delivery System
The FP-740 comes equipped with a redesigned extended capacity ink delivery system that optimizes ink usage and allows replacement of cartridges without the need to pause the printer. With a total of eight ink 220cc cartridges feeding 16 intermediate reservoirs, the FP-740 accommodates more than 3520 ml of usable ink for increased productivity and unattended production printing.
5. Optional Bulk Ink System
The optional HeatWave BU-1 high-capacity ink system and SBL2 sublimation inks together support long, unattended production runs and deliver outstanding colorfastness to FP-740 sublimated graphics. As the company’s newest and most advanced HeatWave ink formulation, SBL2 images exceptionally well on lightweight, flexible fabrics for vivid color flags, banners and textiles that are easy to handle, inexpensive to ship, and safe to install.
HeatWave SBL2 ink produces rich, high-density colors and dries quickly. Its advanced formulation creates a very fine dot pattern for maximum ink transfer to the final fabric. As a result, graphics sublimated with HeatWave SBL2 reflect flawless, even ink coverage and deep, vivid colors with absolutely no banding.
6. Network Connection
Equipped with a standard 100 BASE-TX/10 BASE-T interface, the FP-740 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. A parallel cable can be used for stand-alone printing.
7. Bundled Software
The FP-740 includes VersaWorks Version 2.0 professional RIP software, designed by Roland to maximize printer performance and productivity without a lengthy learning curve. VersaWorks runs on Windows XP and 2000 operating systems and features an easy-to-use graphical interface that allows you to manage the entire production process directly from one global screen. Clear icons and drag-and-drop simplicity guide you from initial design to finished print. Users can automatically update VersaWorks through Roland@NET, ensuring that they are always equipped with the latest software version and ICC profiles available. Version 2.0 includes several powerful advancements including a spot color library, and functions for spot color replacement, clipping and auto-nesting. Together these features ensure added convenience, economy and the precision color reproduction required by sign shops, service bureaus and other graphics professionals.
8. Reliability You Can Count On
The FP-740 is designed to be a bulletproof production machine. With regular maintenance, it will provide years of trouble-free service. But, unlike most inkjets that require daily maintenance, the FP-740 requires significantly less servicing.
