Print/Cut Advantage
The XC-540 streamlines the production process by automatically contour cutting printed graphics. By eliminating the need to reload and reposition graphics, the XC-540 integrated cutter saves valuable time and effort. -
Quadralign
For laminating graphics, simply remove prints, laminate and reload them for precision cutting. The Quadralign four-point optical registration system automatically realigns the cutting path and compensates for skew and distortion. The XC-540 also functions as stand-alone vinyl cutter.

ECO-SOL MAX™ Inks
ECO-SOL MAX™ is a remarkable innovation in ink technology, offering fast drying time, high density, wide color gamut, rugged scratch resistance, low cost per square meter, and broad uncoated media support. In addition, ECO-SOL MAX ™ is virtually odorless.The XC-540 features ECO-SOL MAX ™ ink in four colors (CMYK) and in both 220ml and 440ml cartridges. ECO-SOL MAX graphics are water and UV resistant up to 3 years outdoors*. VersaWorks automatically monitors ink levels in both 220ml or 440ml cartridges and posts a warning when levels run low.
* Outdoor durability is based on accelerated weather tests. Results may vary depending upon location and application. Dry times vary depending on specific media characteristics. Lamination may be required for some applications or environmental conditions.

Roland Intelligent Pass Control
Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology developed by Roland software engineers represents the pinnacle of inkjet printing. This patent-pending system precisely controls dot placement between passes and delivers unprecedented imaging performance in all resolutions. The technology actually enhances image quality at higher print speeds thereby increasing productivity. As a result, the XC-540 produces smooth gradations and flawless solid colors while achieving faster throughput with virtually no banding in all print modes. -
Precision Firing Pattern
The XC-540 precisely controls droplet placement in both the print head travel and paper feed directions to provide up to 1440 x 1440 dpi resolution. It uses a digital servomotor to control the media and features Piezo print heads. Variable droplet technology uses micro-precise ink droplets of three different sizes depending on the type of output. This state-of-the-art technology delivers truly breathtaking output with beautifully smooth, dot-free tones even at high print speeds.
When printing at higher speeds, many printers can produce only low density color with severely reduced image quality. Roland’s unique Precision Firing Pattern was designed to achieve the highest printing speeds possible while maintaining vibrant, high-density colors.
To achieve this, the XC-540’s Precision Firing Pattern uses Light Ink Control, a powerful VersaWorks feature that reduces the impact of banding in bi-directional modes and of white banding caused by slight feeding errors. The feature raises ink density by increasing the ratio of Lc and Lm, resulting in smaller spaces between the landed dots.
The XC-540 takes advantage of this advanced firing pattern for unparalleled image quality in every print mode. In addition, Roland’s in-line head configuration eliminates the need for lengthy calibration procedures and costly down time.
To further ensure the highest print quality, VersaWorks supports industry standard ICC profiles. In addition, VersaWorks comes with several Roland media profiles and is compatible with profiles created through standard profiling packages. An updated list of profiles can be accessed through the Roland@NET service.
-
6-Color Printing
Roland 6-color CMYK+LcLm inks combine with variable droplet technology to deliver more detail in the highlights and smoother blends and transitions overall. The addition of Light Cyan and Light Magenta enhances blues and reds, ensures flawless flesh tones and improves image quality across lighter colors.

White ECO-SOL MAX™ Ink Option
Roland’s SOLJET PRO III XC-540 can be configured in five color CMYK+W featuring White ECO-SOL MAX™ ink for bold white ink applications on both coated and uncoated materials. The advanced ink comes in 220ml no-mess cartridges and is virtually odor free, making it easier than ever to print high quality white floods, highlights, text, graphics and gradations onto a variety of media options.The XC-540 has been engineered for flexible production and allows users to take advantage of five printing options: single-color White, four-color CMYK, and five-color CMYK+W, W+CMYK and CMYK+W+CMYK. When white ink printing is selected in VersaWorks, the printer outputs at 720x1440 dpi. In this mode, white ink graphics print at 3.6 sqm/hr. (high-quality W-Pass) and CMYK images print at 5.2 sqm./hr. (high-quality). For increased productivity, standard color (CMYK) applications can be printed at accelerated speeds of up to 28 sqm./hr. in high-speed 540x360 dpi mode.

Blazing Print Speed
In addition to printing photorealistic graphics and fine art reproductions, the XC-540 can produce six-color 360 x 360 dpi signs, banners and POP displays at 41 sq m/hr (CMYKLcLm configuration). With one-inch-wide print heads that employ 360 nozzles each, the XC-540 prints large 30-sqft. banners in only minutes. The chart below illustrates the various print modes, resolution settings, and the resulting production capacity in square feet per hour.
