Before developing out latest TrueVIS with the goal of exciting hearts and minds, we researched the ideal performance required for sign and graphics production. The result of our efforts is a brilliant combination of super vibrant TR2 ink with new Green and Orange and the “True Rich Color” preset that maximizes the potential of both printer and ink and enables you to explore uncharted colors for unprecedented gamut expansion, superior color accuracy, and the unique ability to achieve both vividness and natural reproduction at the same time.
The TrueVIS VF2-640 is the only printer that can offer the extraordinary Power to Excite.

New TrueVIS TR2 ink for Vibrant Color
In addition to CMYKLcLmLk and White, new TR2 ink is now available in Orange and Green to further increase color gamut. Orange in general adds high visibility and impact to printed graphics and offers a warm and welcoming glow with positive emotions, while green adds natural comfort and relaxed confidence for smooth communications. To maximize the effect of these new color inks, a new Multi-Process Color Function has been developed to enable using Orange and Green inks as process colors for richer visual expression.
Enhance your Business with "True Rich Color"
In order to take full advantage of the VF2-640 superior color reproduction capability and the wider color gamut provided by new TR2 ink, we developed a new True Rich Color preset. Now vibrant color can be combined with neutral grays, smooth gradations and natural skin tones to create stunning graphics. This pioneering print quality is unequalled for durable graphics.
Quick and Easy Spot Color Matching
Standard colors such as Pantone® or DIC can be quickly matched with accurate results using the Roland Color System Library. With approximately 260 new spot color references for Orange to Red areas and Blue to Green areas now available, specific targets which had been regarded as unreachable or difficult to match can now be easily achieved.

Advanced Color Matching Function
A newly developed color matching function makes it easy to reproduce matching colors among multiple VF2-640 printers, as well as between TrueVIS Series VG2-640/540 printer/cutters, when the same ink types are used. The function is ideal for producing consistent colors when using multiple printers for high-volume jobs, or printing large graphics among several printers. It also compensates for color differences caused by aging printers or print head replacements.
Efficient Printing and Cutting Workflow
For superior reliability, the VF2-640 is fully compatible when paired with Roland DG cutting devices, and print/cut data can be handled by VersaWorks 6 for efficient production of stickers and labels. The newly developed Job Assistant is also able to set and edit cutting lines in VersaWorks 6, making it a breeze to create stickers with complex shapes.
