Roland DGA has introduced the DIMENSE DA-640, a wide-format dimensional surface printer designed to produce full-color prints with integrated embossing effects. The printer offers a streamlined and cost-effective alternative for creating textured output on demand, suitable for various applications. It is intended for print providers exploring décor markets and interior designers seeking to create custom finishes and textures.
The DA-640 printer features newly developed printheads and is part of the DIMENSE solution, which includes compatible media that expands up to 2 mm when exposed to heat and a structural ink that controls embossing areas. Designed for ease of use and efficient workflow, the DA-640 includes a 7-inch touchscreen display, a torque-based take-up system for automatic media handling, and a 14-zone heater system for simplified setup and consistent operation. Its design also aims to reduce running costs and media waste, supporting efficient production.
The DA-640 enables full-color dimensional printing for on-demand production of textured interior surfaces. It supports a range of project types—from individual prints to high-volume runs—without requiring advanced design skills. Users can work with custom designs, existing artwork, or adjustable templates. The printer also supports embossed effects and offers options for single-pass four-color prints or structure-only, paintable media using the DIMENSE solution, allowing for a variety of textured finishes suited to different applications.
DA-640 users can choose from a variety of specialized DIMENSE media available, such as matte, suede, silver, gold, pearl, and chameleon offerings. This lineup includes media that is compliant with the U.S. Type Ⅱ standard, which defines the performance of wallpaper for commercial applications and provides assurance that it offers a high level of scratch resistance. In addition to the DIMENSE media options, users can print on select third-party media, further increasing the DA-640’s versatility and range of applications. Tension fabric and roll-up banners for indoor signs and displays are available for selecting the most appropriate media for different situations.
The DIMENSE digital printing solution is eco-friendly. DIMENSE media is PVC-free, the CMYK inks are water-based resin, and the structural ink is butylene glycol-free and meets various safety standards, including AgBB, A+, UL, and GREENGUARD Gold “Unrestricted wallcoverings.”
Print data can be created in standard design applications or using the new Roland DG Connect Designer DIMENSE Module, which supports basic designs, embossing layers, and includes a visualizer to preview effects before printing. The DA-640 also comes with VersaWorks 7 RIP software, compatible with both Windows and macOS, allowing users to configure print settings and generate output with minimal setup. Users can also access Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based platform offering real-time device monitoring, usage data, firmware updates, and inventory management tools.
Available now through authorized Roland DGA dealers, the DA-640 comes bundled with a BOFA air filtration unit, a set of DA-IA inks, and four different types of DIMENSE media (Matte Extra, Pearl Type II, Pearl Textile and Suede). Supported by Roland DG’s proven reliability, customer support, and a growing ecosystem of digital tools and materials, the DA-640 is designed to help streamline printing operations and support business growth.
