The VersaArt RS series of eco-solvent wide-format printers integrates the latest technologies from Roland’s award-winning VersaCAMM and SOLJET PRO III models.  Offered in 54” and 64” 4-color (CMYK) models, the VersaArt is the perfect production tool for both indoor and outdoor graphics including signs, POP/POS materials, banners, posters, vehicle graphics and wraps. It also supports soft signage and fabric applications.

VersaArt prints reflect the highest image quality thanks to Roland Intelligent Pass Control™ technology, a unique three-dimensional ink firing system that precisely controls droplet size and placement for exceptionally smooth results every time.  Designed for productivity, the VersaArt prints at up to 136.7 sqft./hr. in standard print mode and 230 sqft./hr.  in billboard mode  on the 64” RS-640.  Built to be energy efficient and low maintenance, the VersaArt is Energy Star certified and carries Roland’s new Eco-Label, an ISO 14021 Type II label certifying compliance with a company’s internal environmental standards.

Roland intelligent Pass Control

First introduced in SOLJET PRO III models, Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology (patent pending) is a combination of printer and software advancements that control the ink firing at the edge of each pass and deliver the proper ink density for all media in every print mode. The result is improved print quality and throughput while virtually eliminating banding. With Roland Intelligent Pass Control, VersaArt graphics reflect stunning image quality with exceptionally smooth gradations and flawless solid colors.

3. ECO-SOL MAX Inks

ECO-SOL MAX is a remarkable innovation in ink technology, offering fast drying time, high density, wide color gamut, rugged scratch resistance, low cost per square foot, and broad uncoated media support. In addition, ECO-SOL MAX is virtually odorless.

The VersaArt features ECO-SOL MAX ink in four colors (CMYK) and in both 220ml and 440ml cartridges. ECO-SOL MAX graphics are water and UV resistant up to 3 years outdoors*.  VersaWorks automatically monitors ink levels in both 220ml or 440ml cartridges and posts a warning when levels run low.

* Outdoor durability is based on accelerated weather tests. Results may vary depending upon location and application. Dry times vary depending on specific media characteristics. Lamination may be required for some applications or environmental conditions.

4. Piezo Print Heads

Image is everything in the digital printing world and thousands of Roland owners depend on their printers to deliver stunning image quality day in and day out.  Equipped with our most popular and reliable Piezo print heads, the VersaArt offers up 1440x720 dpi variable dot printing for smooth transitions and precision details in a proven wide-format system. This state-of-the-art technology delivers truly breathtaking output with flawless dot-free tones even at high print speeds on a wide range of media from vinyl and banner to paper and fabrics. 

5. VersaWorks RIP Software

VersaWorks RIP software was developed by Roland engineers for the company’s wide-format inkjet devices.  VersaWorks combines powerful features with an easy-to-use interface for outstanding results print after print.

Based on the latest Abobe CPSI engine (3018), VersaWorks is now faster and more precise than ever before and features advanced print server functions allowing users to manage up to four Roland inkjet devices simultaneously. VersaWorks also offers support for Roland’s GX series cutters which allows professionals to manage stand-alone cutting operations or pair a Roland cutter with a Roland inkjet printer for print/cut applications. The VersaWorks PerfCut function enables users to produce precision perforated cut lines.

VersaWorks features also include proven productivity tools such as the Roland Color System for easy, precise spot color matching, the Max Impact Preset for richer color contrast, and Variable Data Printing. Other VersaWorks features include embedded ICC profile support, ink level adjustment tools, software proofing capabilities and advanced cropping, tiling and nesting options. VersaWorks supports Windows 2000/XP and Vista.

6. Advanced Media Handling


VersaArt printers ensure precision media feeding throughout long production runs. For maximum productivity, the VersaArt features all-new heavy duty media shafts and flanges that stabilize printer performance and support media rolls up to 88 lbs. for the RS-640 and 66 lbs. for the RS-540. For unattended roll-to-roll printing, the optional TU2-54 or TU2-64 take-up systems are available.

7. Integrated Heating System

Roland printers are designed to dry prints quickly even in high-speed modes for immediate finishing, installation and collection by the take-up system. The VersaArt features a built-in 2-stage integrated heater system to accommodate a wide range of media options. This advanced system precisely controls the proper amount of heat for each application, yielding outstanding results every time. For maximum convenience, users can store individual settings right in the printer.


8. Ethernet Connectivity

Roland understands that busy shops need to maximize the layout of their workstations and printing equipment. High-speed Ethernet network connectivity comes standard with the VersaArt. As a result, the VersaArt can quickly process gigabytes of image data to support everyone in your shop.







9. ECO-SOL Media

ECO-SOL Media is developed especially for Roland ECO-SOL MAX ink and includes a wide selection of competitively priced, uncoated and coated substrates. The line-up currently consists of gloss, matte, clear and translucent calendered and premium cast vinyl, premium reflective vinyl, view-through vinyl, flame retardant scrim banner, blockout scrim banner, fine art canvas and solvent gloss paper. All Roland media is carefully tested and profiled to consistently achieve high-quality results.

10. Reliability

As with all Roland inkjet printers, the VersaArt is a virtually bulletproof production machine. With regular maintenance, it will provide years of trouble-free service. But, unlike most solvent inkjets that require daily maintenance, the VersaArt requires servicing significantly less often for maximum productivity.

11. Low Running Costs

ECO-SOL MAX boosts the performance of Roland eco-solvent inkjets at low running costs that both you and your customers will appreciate.

For a low-density image, Roland estimates the VersaArt RS series yields an average ink cost of $.14 per sqft. and an average media cost of $.30 per sqft. for a total of $.44 per sqft. For a high-density image, we estimate an average ink cost of $.28 per sqft. and an average media cost* of $.30 per sqft. for a total of $.58 per sqft.
