Catch the New Wave in Sublimation
Roland makes it easier than ever to bring stunning graphics to soft signage, exhibits and décor. No special training is required to produce outstanding results.
Soft Signage & Exhibits
Sublimated textiles are growing rapidly in popularity for trade show exhibits and soft signage. Featuring eight piezo inkjet print heads, the Roland Hi-Fi Express FP-740 produces stunning sublimated prints that can be easily transferred to polyester fabric for vibrant flags, banners and textiles that preserve the fabric’s natural drape and texture. In addition to offering brilliant colour, fabrics are lighter in weight for shipping and hanging. Roland also offers the VersaArt series of printers in 64” and 54” sublimation models featuring Heatwave SBL2 sublimation inks.
Printed Fabric Decor
Office and home décor is fast becoming a lucrative market for Roland’s Hi-Fi Express FP-740 74” sublimation printer. The FP-740 is currently serving select shops to produce large, fabric fine art reproductions, murals and decorative fine art prints. The FP-740’s sublimation inks produce dense, rich colours, making them well suited for a range of decor applications. In addition, fabric prints can enhance the acoustics of a room, a factor that is increasingly important as interiors continue to feature many hard surfaces such as granite, tile and hardwood.

As the company’s newest and most advanced HeatWave ink formulation, SBL2 images exceptionally well on lightweight, flexible fabrics for vivid colour flags, banners and textiles that are easy to handle, inexpensive to ship, and safe to install.HeatWave SBL2 ink produces rich, high-density colours and dries quickly. Its advanced formulation creates a very fine dot pattern for maximum ink transfer to the final fabric.
