Roland Announces AdvancedJET AJ-1000 Promotion Offering Free Mesh Printing Unit and EcoXtreme Inks

Irvine, CA ­ Now through December 31st, Roland customers throughout North and South America (except Brazil) that purchase a new 104” AdvancedJET AJ-1000 industrial inkjet printer will receive a free mesh printing unit and free set of EcoXtreme inks ­ a promotional offer valued at $5,095.

An option for the AdvancedJET AJ-1000, the MU-1000 mesh printing unit allows shops to print beautifully on unlined mesh media, a cost effective alternative to lined mesh. The MU-1000 mesh printing unit is easy to install and detach and features a built-in drainage system that captures excess ink.

“The AJ-1000 is the fastest and most powerful grand format printer in its class and an excellent investment for shops looking to increase their productivity and profitability,” said Rick Scrimger, vice president and general manager of Roland’s Color Products Division. “This outstanding promotion allows AJ-1000 customers to realize even greater value and maximize their success in the growing mesh printing market.”

Unmatched Speed, Performance and Ease of Use
With a maximum print speed of 968 sqft./hr. and precision print mode of 484 sqft./hr., the AdvancedJET AJ-1000 is the company’s fastest inkjet to date. The AJ-1000 is ideally suited for high-volume and on-demand applications including production printing of banners, billboards, signage and other durable graphics.

The AJ-1000 features six ultra-wide piezo print heads and an advanced precision firing pattern that produce brilliant CMYKLcLm graphics on both coated and uncoated media. Durable EcoXtreme ink offers superior bonding, and scratch and alcohol resistance for excellent results at even the highest print speeds.

The AJ-1000 is a complete solution including powerful VersaWorks RIP software, packed with advanced features including Variable Data Printing and spot color matching through the Roland Color System.

Unlike other industrial printers, the AJ-1000 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. Users enjoy worry-free unattended printing with the AJ-1000’s high capacity ink delivery system and advanced media handling and take-up system supporting up to 220 lb. rolls.

For optimum long-term performance, Roland backs every AdvancedJET AJ-1000 with its two-year warranty, the industry’s longest bundled service and support contract.
