Roland DG, the world’s leading provider of digital printing solutions, is excited to announce that the TrueVIS XP-640 wide-format inkjet printer earned a 2025 BLI Pick Award from Keypoint Intelligence, a global independent research organisation for testing and evaluating office equipment for business users.
After undergoing thorough and rigorous evaluation tests on image quality, productivity, usability and more, the TrueVIS XP-640 was awarded the accolade of “Outstanding Gamut Expansion Eco-Solvent / Latex 54”/64” Printer” among current tested products from a variety of manufacturers around the world.
Commenting on the evaluation tests, David Sweetnam, Director of EMEA/APAC Research & Lab Services at Keypoint Intelligence, said, “What impressed us most about the XP-640 was its overwhelming image quality. In particular, the wide colour gamut and colour reproduction exceeded all other printers we have tested, setting a new standard in the graphic arts field, which has always demanded strict quality.
“The combination of CMYKLkOrGrRe inks delivers the largest colour gamut of any wide-format printers we have tested to date,” Sweetnam added. “The difference between high-quality and high-speed print modes is minimal, with a recorded average of 780,415 colours. Which means it is capable of providing consistently high print quality even at high speed.”
The XP-640 produced accurate and unparalleled colour matching reproduction during testing. With Keypoint’s suite of PANTONE colour matching for 15 difficult-to-reproduce corporate logo colours, the device achieved an average of only Delta E00 2.1, which is a “stunning” result.
“The XP-640 is the first device to achieve less than Delta E00 4.0 for all colours in Keypoint testing, and it also earned the highest ratings for light and dark contrasts, vivid colours, and smooth, natural gradations,” Sweetnam said.
The test results and Pick Award further validate the XP-640 as an ideal printer for producing wide-format signs and graphics across various applications. Easy-to-use operation, including setup functions that improve media loading accuracy and efficiency further enhance the overall productivity. The XP-640 also comes with the newly developed, Mac-compatible VersaWorks RIP software and the Roland DG Connect cloud-based platform, for users’ business growth and an environment where everyone from beginners to professionals can produce high quality output.
Ryugo Nimura, President of Roland DG’s Global Sales and Marketing Division said, “We are very honoured to receive the Pick Award and proud that Keypoint’s rigorous testing has confirmed the XP-640’s ability to outperform other companies’ products. We will continue to contribute further to the evolution of the sign and graphic industry to expand the possibilities for customers’ creativity and business growth.”
