Considering a Roland XP-640 with the drier option

[Gene@mpls]

We have two RF640s that print most of the day, and have been bullet proof. The newest one is 4yo so it is time, the XP seems like the obvious choice- It has two heads and double CMYK wtich works well for our business and should be a bit faster. I have a home brew drier on the RFs and would hope the Roland accessory would be at least as good. Any thoughts appreciated. Thanks gene

Yes, it is print only device like the RF and will blow the RF’s away in speed and quality.
The ink dries much quicker than the RF ink, the Roland dryer is ok and looks great on the printer, but prefer a BBC Industries Infrared heater.

Thanks for the response, years ago when we still had a Roland 54" printer I built a combination heater, takeup reel out of 80/20 extrusions that used the same heaters as BBC [maybe they were from BBC- my memory is failing] and it has been working thru at least two changes of printers.
