Advanced Print Technology
The VersaEXPRESS RF-640 is equipped with a gold-plated print head to reduce static and enable high quality printing. Variable dot control produces droplets of up to seven different sizes for precise, detailed graphics, excellent photographic reproduction, smooth gradations and superb contrast. Roland Intelligent Pass Control precisely controls dot placement between passes, allowing the VersaEXPRESS RF-640 printer to produce smooth gradations, exceptional solid colours and optimal image quality in all print modes, including higher speeds.
Mirrored Print Head Configuration
To ensure rich, consistent colour at speeds of up to 48.55m/2 per hour, the RF-640 features a dual CMYK, mirrored print head (MYCKKCYM) that delivers rich, vibrant, consistent colours during bi-directional printing.
User-Friendly Features Boost Your Productivity
The RF-640 is ideal for any busy print environment. Front-loading ink cartridges can be replaced without having to stop and restart the printer. Adjustable media support brackets handle narrow or wide media rolls with ease, while an included take-up system allows for unattended printing with stability at high-speeds. The innovative Roland Ink Switching System allows the printer to automatically switch to a new ink cartridge when the original runs out, providing up to 1000 cc of ink per colour with ECO-SOL MAX.
More Freedom with Roland Printer Assist and Roland OnSupport
For trouble-free unattended printing, Roland OnSupport delivers e-mail alerts to your computer or smart phone when ink is running low or a job has been completed. The Roland Printer Assist app – free and available for download from the iTunes App Store – enables users to manage common printer functions such as power on/off, test printing and cleaning using an iPad tablet remotely from within the printer network.
Achieve Superb Results with ECO-SOL MAX Inks
Award-winning ECO-SOL MAX eco-solvent inks produces rich, vibrant colours that other inks simply can’t match. They dry quickly and provide long-term outdoor durability, scratch and chemical resistance, broad uncoated media support and a wide colour gamut. GREENGUARD Gold certified, ECO-SOL MAX inks meet some of the world's most rigorous standards for use in schools and heathcare environments.
Integrated Two-Stage Heating System
The RF-640 features a built-in two stage integrated heater system designed to dry prints quickly – even in high-speed modes – for immediate collection by the take-up unit, finishing, and installation. This advanced system accommodates a wide range of media options and precisely controls the proper amount of heat for each application, yielding outstanding results every time.
Includes Latest VersaWorks 6 RIP Software
VersaWorks 6 expands your print capabilities and maximises the power of your Roland devices with the latest features to enhance the world’s most popular RIP software.
- HARLEQUIN RIP dual-core engine and native 64-bit processing – effective processing of PDFs with shadows and transparencies
- Icon-based interface with drag-and-drop functionality
- Five print queues and the ability to save and store unlimited queue settings
- Special Color Plate Generation – auto-generate White, Gloss and other ink layers

Contour Cut Your Printed Graphics
Pair the RF-640 printer with a Roland GR Series cutter to quickly and easily contour cut printed labels, decals, T-shirt heat transfers, POP displays, vehicle wraps and more. Roland Quadralign™ technology precisely reads crop marks on pre-printed data and aligns the graphics for perfect contour cutting.
Print with Confidence, Even When You're Not There
Among the many benefits of owning an intelligent Roland inkjet is its ability to share information remotely. A Predictive Ink Calculator lets you see whether you'll have enough ink to run the print jobs you've posted to the queue. Roland OnSupport then sends an email to your computer or smart phone, notifying you when a job is completed or ink is running low.
