Roland DG, the world’s leading provider of digital printing solutions, today announced the launch of its new D-EA2 eco-solvent ink, engineered to deliver the renowned DGXPRESS quality and productivity at approximately half of existing running costs.*
Designed for seamless integration with the DGXPRESS ER-642**, Roland DG’s 64-inch eco-solvent inkjet printer, the D-EA2 ink aims to deliver high image quality with lower ink consumption. By reducing the price per millilitre and adding ink ejection control technology, it achieves premium output whilst significantly cutting running costs.
The newly formulated ink has been engineered to achieve vivid colour reproduction, stable greys, smooth gradations, and natural skin tones, even in standard four-colour CMYK printing. In combination with enhanced Roland Intelligent Pass Control 2.0, D-EA2 ink delivers sharper images, and maintains colour consistency and gradation reproduction at high print speeds.
Integration with VersaWorks 7 (VW7) RIP software maximises performance by utilising 16-bit rasterisation and advanced dither patterns to minimise graininess and improve detail. Processing speeds are up to 3.9 times faster than earlier versions, allowing larger print jobs to be handled quickly and efficiently, further increasing throughput for production environments.
Ryugo Nimura, President of Global Sales and Marketing at Roland DG, noted, “With D-EA2 ink, we’ve reimagined what eco-solvent printing can deliver. Customers no longer have to choose between cost efficiency and quality – they get both. By combining cutting-edge ink technology with a reduced price per millilitre, we’ve made high-end output more affordable and sustainable.
This innovation opens the door for more businesses to compete, expand, and meet today’s demands for faster delivery and sharper results. It’s a clear reflection of our commitment to making advanced printing technology more accessible in emerging markets – experiencing strong economic growth and demand for signage.”
Customers currently using D-EA ink can transition to D-EA2 through a simple firmware update and ink replacement process, ensuring an easy upgrade path with minimal downtime. Additionally, those purchasing a new ER Series printer with D-EA2 Ink will receive a comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty, with optional care packages available for further peace of mind.
