Roland XR640 White ink option

[BoF]

Dear all,

We are still pondering on this machine and one of the issues is whether the white ink is a good option to take up

Of those of you that have this printer do you use white ink and in general usage does anyone run much white ink anyway regardless of machine??


Thanks!

It depends on what you are using it for. It only really suits anyone using transparent media for wrapping or signage.

We have the white ink option.. If you dont print on clear....dont configure that was.

we didn't go with the white ink at this time. Don't do enough printing on clear either yet. It and the silver can be added in if we want to go that route.

I don't do a whole lot of printing as this is a part time gig for me, but I would definitely say no to the white and/or metallic option. I have the Roland VS-540 8 color and the only time I've ever used white is when printing on clear. The few times I have printed on clear I could have easily just printed and cut for those projects. It is really annoying having to shake the white and metallic cartridges all the time. They aren't worth the extra money in my opinion.
