Default Roland Metallic Ink Printer

Anyone at the SGIA show see their new printer that does Metallic? What kind of show specials were they pushing if any?

Curious how good their samples and such were. If Rodney or someone has a video, I'd definitely be interested to take a look! If not, I'll probably wait til the shows swing around to the west coast, as a wider solvent printer (I have an SP300) is at the top of my "next purchase" list.

I saw a few different roland printers at the show. They had a *huge* booth there.

I can't remember if I saw one doing metallic inks. I took a picture of a few machines, so maybe I got a photo of one by accident.

Do you know the model number of the new printer? I think it may be in one of these photos:

I believe it's the one in the middle of the first photo (printing "Silver Eye Shadow"). Supposed to be a rust/red colored printer, dunno its specific model number.

I zoomed in on the photo, but unfortunately, there is a guy standing right in front of the price in that photo.

So yes, it was at the show But no, I didn't get any details on it

The model number is XC-540MT. Pricing and availability haven't been finalized, but we expect to launch the printer by the end of the month and start shipping in November.

The silver and white inks come with a re-circulation system so that the ink lines don't have to be purged periodically. We also expect to have another metallic ink color library similar to the current Roland Color Library in Versaworks.
