Soljet XF

[onlinestar]

sorry guys I can't share more but it is Roland latex and it will have a very special white and clear surprise too.

 

[Jack Knight1979]

I don't think Roland will adopt a new inkset. They're still selling Eco-Sol, so they can't sing the praises on Latex and Eco-Sol at the same time.

This will be a DX5 (dual) unit in a wider width. No cutter on board.

Florescent ink??

Integrated spectrophotometer with Fiery XF?

 

[Jack Knight1979]

I would love in integrated spectrophotometer. I don't know anything about Fiery.

Nothing wrong with the reds my Rolands put out.

No one has ever complained about reds on our machine either...but maybe I'm not picky enough? We just roll 0-100-100-0 on Max Impact....unless someone has redder red? haha

Actually the print head will be a Kodak memjet 2picoliter variable head (16m nozzles). "Sol" stands for solvent added with latex to make it right viscosity for the memjets.

"Sol" stands for solvent added with latex to make it right viscosity for the memjets.

That couldn't work simply due to the fact that latex polymers are susceptible to breakdown in almost all solvents, which is also why Latex polymers are always pair with water as a carrier.

So I called it first, for the record Memjet.

*Almost* being the operative term. Latex can be carried by some solvents.

Besides, this is a company that uses "Eco" to mean something other than "Ecological". They're tricky that way. So if they want to get technical, they can call their latex printers "Soljet" because water IS a solvent.

I'm seriously looking forward to this. Latex at those speeds? Very interesting if true. I hope Onlinestar is on the level.

 

[Alpha Star]

Forget all that. It's officially not memjet and not latex. Onlinestar, what's your source?

I get very nice reds on my soljet ... idk what you guys are talking about?

+1, my VS's reds look pretty freakin' red to me.

+1, my VS's reds look pretty freakin' red to me.

same here, the designer created his own red pallets in the different formats, RGB, CYMK, etc...

 

[Jack Knight1979]

I just printed some gorgeous reds on my Sol Pro II.

 

[Baz]

Obviously the red issue has to be with the RIP one is using along with custom profiles.

 

[SIGNTIME]

I use vw with canned profiles and get good results with cmyk and spot colors

What is the life of those memjet heads?

 

[mudmedia]

Best reds I have seen in a solvent printer have been from a Roland VS using canned profiles and settings in versaworks.
