4-colorroll-to-roll

Overview
Roland DG Corporation has announced the release of the DIMENSE DA-640, a wide-format dimensional surface printer designed to produce full-color prints with integrated embossing effects more easily and cost-effectively than traditional methods. The system combines new printheads, specialized heat-reactive media that raises up to 2 mm in thickness, and a structural ink to precisely control embossed areas, enabling on-demand production of textured, high-value output for a wide range of applications.

Key features and capabilities

• Wide-format dimensional surface printer (DIMENSE DA-640) with newly developed printheads optimized for dimensional output.
• Specialized DIMENSE media that expands/raises up to 2 mm when exposed to heat in the printer to create embossing/texture.
• Structural ink that controls where embossing occurs on the print, enabling precise embossed effects.
• Full-color dimensional printing from single one-off prints to larger runs, supporting on-demand production workflows.
• Ability to print emboss-only effects which can then be painted over to produce unique, tactile finishes.
• Wide range of specialized media finishes available: matte, suede, silver, gold, pearl, and chameleon.
• Media lineup includes options compliant with the U.S. Type II standard for commercial wallpaper and offers high scratch resistance.
• Available media formats include tension fabric and roll-up banners for indoor signs and displays, enabling selection of the most appropriate substrate for different applications.

• Structural and safety certifications referenced: AgBB, A+, UL, and GREENGUARD Gold 'Unrestricted' wall coverings.
• Included software and workflow tools: Roland DG Connect Designer DIMENSE Module (for creating embossing layers and visualizing output) and VersaWorks 7 RIP software for detailed print settings; compatible with Windows and macOS.
