Summary

TrueVis AG-640 Summary
The Roland DG TrueVis AG-640 is the world’s first 64-inch latex printer/cutter, combining high-gamut printing and integrated contour cutting in one versatile production platform. New TA2 inks, advanced printheads, and improved optimizer technology deliver smooth, detailed output with an expanded color gamut that includes vivid Orange and Red, plus high-density White for use on clear, colored, metallic, and specialty media.

Why Roland DG? Why Now? As customers seek lower operating costs, broader application capabilities, and simpler production, the AG-640 brings Roland DG’s proven print-and-cut expertise to the growing latex market. Lower ink consumption, reduced media waste, and the integrated DG Connect Designer, VersaWorks 7, and DG Connect ecosystem provide an easier workflow and stronger total cost of ownership.

Bottom Line: The AG-640 helps customers produce more applications, streamline production, and increase profitability while expanding into higher-value markets and reducing total production costs.

Positioning statement:The AG-640 combines latex versatility, expanded color, and integrated contour cutting in one streamlined platform – giving HP Latex users a compelling alternative for producing a wider range of profitable applications.

Integrated print and cut: The AG-640 is the world’s first latex printer with standard contour cutting, reducing equipment footprint and eliminating alignment between separate devices.

Expanded color capabilities: Orange, Red and White ink options support a wider gamut, vivid brand colors, and high-value specialty applications.

Competitive productivity: Production speeds of approximately 151–167 square feet per hour support everyday commercial graphics workflows.

Efficient operation: Improved media transport, simplified setup, and intelligent job handling enable smoother, more consistent production.

Strong business value: A $19,995 MSRP and estimated ink cost of $0.21 per square foot provide accessible entry into professional latex printing.

Conquest opportunity: With the AP-640 currently representing only a small share of the category, converting even a modest portion of HP’s customer base could generate meaningful growth for Roland DG.
