Roland DGA Launches New DIMENSE DA-640 Dimensional Surface Printer

Roland DGA announces the launch of the new DIMENSE DA-640, a state-of-the art wide-format dimensional surface printer that produces full-color prints with unique embossing effects more easily and cost-effectively than alternative methods, allowing for high-value, high-impact output across a range of applications, on demand.

Whether you’re a print provider who wants to expand into décor or an interior designer creating exclusive rich finishes and textures, the DA-640’s unique capabilities open the door to profitable new channels for you and your business.

Equipped with newly developed printheads engineered to deliver stunning output, the DA-640 is the centerpiece of the DIMENSE solution, which also consists of specialized media that raises up to 2 mm in thickness when exposed to heat in the printer and a structural ink that precisely controls where the embossing occurs on the print.

The DA-640’s advanced design, simple operation, and streamlined workflow ensure outstanding productivity, while low running costs and media waste reduction features maximize profitability.

“Roland DG developed the DIMENSE DA-640 in response to growing demand within the hospitality, commercial, residential, and retail sectors for unique indoor settings that reflect individual styles, stand out, and create a lasting impression,” said Kitt Jones, Roland DGA’s segment manager of interior design and surface decoration. “Together with its specialized DIMENSE media and inks, this revolutionary machine creates wallcoverings, fine art, displays, roll-up banners, and more with incredible visual and tactile appeal in one simple, seamless process. It’s a cutting-edge system that gives not only interior designers and architects, but also print providers, the ability to supply what the marketplace is asking for and profit significantly.”

The DA-640 unlocks the potential of full-color dimensional printing, enabling on-demand production of textured interior surfaces without requiring specialized design skills. From “one-offs” to large-quantity repeatable projects, this printer broadens creative possibilities beyond standard surface printing by allowing you to utilize your own designs, ready-made artwork, or customizable creations.

Users can enhance prints with embossed effects and customize single-pass four-color prints or structure-only paintable media with the DIMENSE solution. This creates unique, attention-grabbing finishes.

DA-640 users can choose from a wide 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 also eco-friendly, providing users with extra peace of mind. 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.”

“At present, only about 5% of wallpaper printing has been digitalized, so there is tremendous growth and profit potential for the high-end digital printing of interior surfaces,” noted Jones. “The introduction of the DA-640 creates new opportunities to add texture and value to a wide range of applications and makes the DIMENSE solution accessible to a wider group of potential users.”
