The Roland LO-640-F3 excels in color vibrancy and gamut, particularly with its orange and red inks, which are valuable for fine art and photo reproduction. It's also known for smooth gradients and high-density white ink, ideal for backlit signage and window graphics.

Max Media Thickness: It can handle thicker materials up to 9.5" (242 mm), making it suitable for a wider range of substrates, including packaging prototypes and custom promotional products.

Ink Colors: The inclusion of Red and Orange inks in addition to CMYK provides a wider color gamut for vibrant prints, which is advantageous for custom graphics.

Distance Mode Technology: This feature allows for printing on irregular surfaces, enhancing its usability across different projects.

Roland's VersaWorks RIP software is generally considered more user-friendly.		The Mimaki JFX200-2513 EX provides good print speed, but quality has been considered weak in comparison.

Its multi-layer printing capabilities enable unique applications like backlit displays, but very slow in comparison to the LO-640-F3 "returmn to origin" technique.

Weaknesses
Some users have reported that the LO-640-F3's Black (only) is not as deep as on other printers, appearing more like a dark brown, and may not match well with black vinyl. User reviews indicate that reds might not be as vibrant as on some other printers, and the machine can be slower. Others have noted that fine print and small text (e.g., 6pt) may appear blurry.

Some users have also reported issues with ink cartridges, specifically magenta ink, and difficulties with ink canister removal.

Additional Information

V-BOND ink: Available with all COi-Series /CO-Series and LEC2 S-Series printers

As V-BOND Ink has become a desired UV ink, specially formulated to provide a safer, less toxic alternative to standard UV Inks, the demand to include the V-BOND ink for use of printers outside the LEF/LEF2 models has been incredibly high.

V-BOND Ink has also shown increased performance in surface adhesion, scratch resistance and is certified under Proposition 65 and the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA).

Along with its child-safe properties, V-BOND Ink is an LED curable ink, and is specially formulated for high performance, trouble-free printing with excellent color fidelity and ink-build. V-BOND Inks offer expanded color gamut, long-term outdoor durability, superior adhesion, and low maintenance requirements.

Competitive Data

Competitive Analysis

Strengths
Roland LG SeriesMimaki UCJV300
The Roland LG-640 excels in color vibrancy and gamut, particularly with its orange and red inks, which are valuable for fine art and photo reproduction. It's also known for smooth gradients and high-density white ink, ideal for backlit signage and window graphics.

Roland's VersaWorks RIP software is generally considered user-friendly.		The UCJV300-160 provides good print quality. Its multi-layer printing capabilities enable unique applications like backlit displays.

Weaknesses
Some users have reported that the LG-640's Black (only) is not as deep as on other printers, appearing more like a dark brown, and may not match well with black vinyl. User reviews indicate that reds might not be as vibrant as on some other printers, and the machine can be slower. Others have noted that fine print and small text (e.g., 6pt) may appear blurry.

Some users have also reported issues with ink cartridges, specifically magenta ink, and difficulties with ink canister removal.
