Roland Announces EcoXtreme LT Ink for the AdvancedJET Series- Precision Formulated for Short Term Displays and High Volume Production
IRVINE, CA Roland DGA Corp., a leading provider of wide-format inkjet printers and integrated print/cutters, today introduced new EcoXtreme LT ink for its AdvancedJET industrial inkjet printer line including the 104”-wide AJ-1000 and 74”-wide AJ-740.
A cost effective alternative to original EcoXtreme ink, new EcoXtreme LT is well suited for short and medium-term applications such as event graphics, campaign signage and temporary retail displays.
Both EcoXtreme inks have been formulated exclusively for the AdvancedJET and are offered in six colors (CMYKLcLm). EcoXtreme inks provide outstanding color density and a wide gamut, and produce vibrant images even in high-speed production modes on coated and uncoated media. New EcoXtreme LT ink offers durability outdoors for up to one year, and original EcoXtreme ink provides up to three-year outdoor durability.
“With two EcoXtreme ink formulations available, AdvancedJET customers can select the right ink for each application considering both the technical requirements and production costs involved,” said Rick Scrimger, vice president and general manager for Roland’s Color Products Division. “EcoXtreme LT is very competitively priced 37 percent less expensive than original EcoXtreme ink.”
New Roland EcoXtreme LT Ink Features:
- Ideal for billboards, banners, backlits and event signage
- Optimizes AdvancedJET technology for rich, vivid images and superior color contrast
- High-capacity 1-liter cartridges are easy to handle
- Automated maintenance system minimizes operator intervention for lower operational costs
- 37 percent less expensive than original EcoXtreme ink

The 104” AJ-1000 achieves a maximum print speed of 968 sqft./hr. and delivers precision image quality at 484 sqft./hr. The 74” AJ-740 offers print speeds of up to 872 sqft./hr. and a precision print mode of 473 sqft./hr.

Unlike other industrial printers, the AdvancedJET can be kept running around the clock or left unattended for an extended period of time with very little maintenance and fine tuning. Easy setup and operation define the ownership experience from the very first print. Automated maintenance eliminates the need for daily manual cleanings while keeping heads, caps and wipers performing optimally.
