Roland DG South Africa Announces New Texture Printer

The new DA-640 printer with DIMENSE technology takes users beyond interior design and adds a textured twist to digital print applications. The DA-640 enables users to control the media’s surface structure through specialised media, ink, and heat rather than building up layers of ink, creating richer finishes that meet industry professionals’ expectations and demands.

Create unique artistic impressions with inspirational dimensional embossing and exceptional image quality. There are many DIMENSE media types and finishes suited to a wide range of industries, from interior design and architecture to signage and display graphics. Imagine blending texture and art to create an unforgettable impression that captures attention and begs to be touched.

DIMENSE brings texture and depth directly into prints. Using a unique structural ink alongside standard CMYK, the DA-640 creates detailed embossed effects exactly where the user wants them. Create intricate embossed patterns up to 0.2cm (0.08 inches) in height that complement or contrast with the printed artwork.

DIMENSE specialised media delivers texture and depth to wallpaper, artistic reproductions and many other applications, providing a unique, engaging finish. From sophisticated matt and elegant pearlescent to lavish gold, silver, and colour-shifting effects, it’s visually striking and irresistibly tactile. Create high-end prints with a premium finish, enhanced by an embossed artistic texture for a truly luxurious feel. The range includes both non-woven and textile-based canvas versions, as well as impressive scratch resistance for high-traffic environments.

The DA-640’s water-based inks are safe for users and the environment. Its 500cc cardboard cartridges cut plastic use by around 82% compared to previous versions, while the simplified ink system reduces maintenance and boosts reliability. DIMENSE media is equally eco-conscious: it’s made from a PVC-free base that’s odourless, migration-free, and won’t leach into surrounding surfaces or the air. It also features efficient power consumption and energy-saving features like built-in sleep timing and smart wake-up.

The DA-640’s combination of newly developed dual printheads, which eject fine ink droplets at high density, and state-of-the-art ceramic heaters, deliver high-definition, vivid image quality, along with embossing that’s strikingly precise, crisp, and clear. Media gap and feed compensation can be adjusted at the touch of a button, and built-in sensors ensure consistent print quality and ease of use.

Whether printing short runs or extended jobs, the DA-640 is designed to deliver consistent, high-quality output from start to finish. Its dual tension bars and torque-controlled take-up unit keep media stable during long prints. An optimised cleaning sequence also helps maintain nozzle performance, reducing downtime and ensuring smooth production.
