Seven Droplet Print Heads Give You More Colour Choice

The XT-640 Dye-Sublimation Printer features dual-staggered print heads to maximise productivity. Each Piezo inkjet print head has 8-channels containing with up to seven different dot sizes. This allows the XT-640 to achieve smoother gradations, finer details and richer colour density for photographic quality graphics and high-resolution vector output.

More Choice with 4-Colour or 8-Colour Ink Modes

In 4-colour (CMYK) high-speed print mode, the XT-640 is fast and efficient, producing fine details and deep colour contrast at speeds of up to 102 m/2 per hour. In an 8-colour configuration (CMYK+LcLmOrVi / CMYK+OrViFpFy), the XT-640 delivers an extremely wide colour gamut with Orange, Violet, Light Cyan, Light Magenta, Fluorescent Pink and Fluorescent Yellow inks at speeds up to 31 m/2 per hour. In 8-colour set-up, users have the ability to reproduce Pantone Solid Coated colours as well as having a vast choice of vibrant fluorescents and soft pastel shades.

New Media Feed System for Non-Shift Printing

The XT-640 Dye-Sublimation Printer has a new media feed system that prevents media shifting and supports a range of thick and thin transfer paper. The new media holder keeps everything evenly tensioned and properly aligned while a powerful vacuum holds the paper flat. The front feed adjuster keeps media taut on the take-up reel and the whole system prevents transfer paper from buckling or shifting.

Simply Print and Go with Precision Take-up System

To support long runs, the XT-640 comes standard with a take-up system that features a front-mounted roller and a tension-controlled take-up unit. The following features offer easy and unattended feeding and tracking:

Supports heavy roll media up to 110 lbs. (50 kg)

Dancer roller with light-tension for stable take-up and easy-release

Fully-adjustable take-up operation allows for precision feeding and versatile media use

Decreased media resistance to dramatically improve feeding accuracy

Automatic Bulk Ink-Switching System

When configured in 4-colour mode, the XT-640 can print continuously. Once the primary ink pouch and subtank for a particular colour are empty, the ink switching system activates automatically and begins pulling ink from the secondary ink pouch, allowing for maximum productivity and efficiency.
