Roland MG2-300 vs. MG2-640: What's the Difference?

The core MG2 printing technology is shared between the two machines. The biggest difference is production width, media capacity and overall equipment footprint.

Who Should Choose the Roland MG2-300?

The Roland MG2-300 30-inch UV printer/cutter is a strong fit for businesses focused on stickers, labels, decals, window graphics, short-run specialty graphics, packaging prototypes and other applications that fit comfortably within a 30-inch workflow.

Its more compact footprint also makes the MG2-300 attractive for shops that want the core MG2 printing, cutting and specialty-ink technology without requiring a full 64-inch production platform.

Who Should Choose the Roland MG2-640?

The Roland MG2-640 64-inch UV printer/cutter expands production capability to media up to 64 inches wide, making it better suited to larger signs, retail graphics, window graphics, backlit displays, banners and higher-volume wide-format work.

Businesses that routinely produce larger graphics or want greater flexibility across wide-format applications should consider the additional production width of the MG2-640.

What's New on the Roland TrueVIS MG2 Series?

The MG2 represents a substantial update to Roland's previous MG platform rather than a minor refresh. Roland has reworked several key areas of the machine around productivity, specialty printing, automation and ease of operation.

New Industrial Printheads for Faster UV Printing

The MG2 uses newly developed 1.33-inch, 300-npi industrial piezo printhead technology designed to increase nozzle density and ink output while maintaining the fine detail, gradients and color consistency associated with the TrueVIS platform.

Roland states that MG2 print speeds can reach up to twice those of previous models.

In Dual CMYK Production Mode, Roland has announced output of approximately 14.5 m²/hour, or roughly 156 square feet per hour. That makes production speed one of the most significant improvements for shops comparing the MG2 with the previous TrueVIS MG generation.

Five-Layer UV Printing in a Single Pass

One of the headline MG2 features is its ability to produce up to five ink layers in a single pass.

Multilayer UV printing can combine process color, White and Gloss inks to produce graphics that would otherwise require multiple printing steps. Because the layers can be generated in a continuous workflow without repeatedly pulling the media backward, the MG2 can simplify specialty production while helping maintain accurate layer registration.

Applications can include:

• Double-sided window graphics
• Transparent decals with White underprints
• Spot Gloss effects
• Dimensional and textured graphics
• Reverse-printed graphics
• Layered retail displays
• Premium labels and stickers

New 1,000 mL EUV5 Ink Pouches

The Roland MG2 moves to 1,000 mL UV ink pouches across its ink configurations.

The higher-capacity ink system reduces the frequency of ink changes during longer production runs and is designed to improve ink efficiency compared with previous smaller-capacity configurations.

Roland states that the new ink system can reduce running costs by up to 40% compared with previous 500 mL configurations, making ink efficiency another important improvement for production-focused shops.

7-Inch Touchscreen and Direct Print

The MG2 incorporates a 7-inch touchscreen control panel and Roland's Direct Print workflow.

Once jobs have been prepared through VersaWorks 7, operators can access prepared jobs from the printer interface. This reduces unnecessary movement between the printer and RIP workstation during repeat and production printing.

Automated Media Setup and Calibration

Roland has added automatic media setup and one-touch media calibration features designed to reduce setup time and operator intervention.

For production environments where multiple operators run equipment throughout the day, this type of automation can help create a more repeatable workflow while reducing manual setup steps.

Improved Automated Maintenance

A newly designed automatic cloth-wiper system and enhanced cleaning workflow help maintain printhead condition while reducing routine operator maintenance.

That is especially relevant on UV systems running specialty inks such as White and Gloss, where consistent maintenance plays an important role in stable production.

Smart Take-Up System Included

The media take-up unit is included with the MG2 Series, allowing businesses to manage longer roll-to-roll jobs as part of the standard production workflow.

Roland MG2 Ink Configurations

The MG2 is available with four fixed ink configurations built around different production priorities.

Which Roland MG2 Ink Configuration Should You Choose?

If production speed for standard signage and graphics is the priority, the Dual CMYK configuration places the strongest emphasis on throughput.

Businesses producing transparent graphics, decals or effects requiring substantial White and Gloss output should consider the dual White / dual Gloss configuration.

For brand-color reproduction, retail graphics and applications where a broader color gamut matters, configurations incorporating Orange and Red expand color capability beyond standard CMYK.

The best configuration depends on the type of work your business expects to produce most often. GPI Supplies can help evaluate your application mix before configuring a new MG2.

Roland MG2 Print-and-Cut Capability

The MG2 remains an integrated UV printer and contour cutter, allowing printing and precision contour cutting to take place within one system.

This can reduce the need to move jobs to separate finishing equipment for applications such as stickers, labels, decals and shaped graphics.

The MG2 supports cutting speeds from approximately 0.39 to 11.8 inches per second and uses Roland CAMM-1 series blades.

Integrated print and cut is particularly useful for short-run and customized graphics where separate finishing steps would add additional production time.

What Can You Make With a Roland MG2?

The TrueVIS MG2 is designed for considerably more than standard CMYK signage. Its combination of instant-cure UV ink, contour cutting, White ink and Gloss effects opens the door to higher-value applications including:

• Stickers and decals
• Product labels
• Window graphics
• Backlit signage
• Retail and point-of-sale graphics
• Banners
• Packaging prototypes
• Transparent graphics
• Dimensional and embossed-looking effects
• Specialty art and decorative graphics
• Short-run promotional graphics

Because UV inks cure immediately under the printer's UV-LED lamps, finished graphics can move rapidly from printing into cutting and finishing without the extended drying time required by some other print technologies.
