Roland DG Announces TrueVis MG2 Series with Five-Layer UV Printing

14 September 2026: Roland DG announced the TrueVis MG2 Series in Japan on 10 September 2026, adding 64-inch and 30-inch UV printer/cutters for signage, labels and packaging prototypes. The machines combine up to five ink layers in one pass with contour cutting, giving print shops more ways to produce decorative graphics.

The official Japanese announcement schedules sales for 24 September 2026. That date applies to Japan. The range joins Roland DG’s wider printer/cutter portfolio, which includes the recently announced TrueVis AG-640 latex printer/cutter.

What does the TrueVis MG2 Series offer?

The MG2-640 accepts media up to 64 inches wide, while the MG2-300 accepts widths up to 30 inches. Their maximum printing and cutting widths are narrower: 1,600 mm and 736 mm respectively, according to Roland DG’s product specifications. Maximum resolution is 1,800 dpi.

Roland DG says new printheads deliver approximately twice the printing speed of the previous models. Its Japanese release lists production-mode output of 14.5 square metres per hour in Dual CMYK and 7.3 square metres per hour in the stated six-colour configurations.

True Rich Color settings and optional red and orange inks extend colour reproduction beyond standard CMYK. White and gloss inks support underprints, spot finishes and textured effects, depending on the selected ink configuration.

Five-layer printing for window graphics and packaging

The MG2 Series can combine CMYK, white and gloss in up to five layers without reverse-feeding media between layers. Roland DG says this reduces the risk of registration errors when producing double-sided window graphics, transparent decals and decorative finishes.

Applications include backlit signs, labels, retail displays and packaging prototypes. Optional ET-64L or ET-30L accessories support printing on selected packaging boards and speciality papers up to 1 mm thick. Buyers should distinguish that printing capability from the machine’s lower cutting-thickness limits.

Ink supply and daily operation

The printers use 1,000 ml ink pouches. Roland DG positions these as a way to lower ink costs and reduce replacement frequency, although actual savings will depend on local ink prices and production requirements.

Automatic media setup, Direct Print and an automatic fabric wiper aim to reduce operator intervention. VersaWorks 7 handles job preparation and colour control, while Roland DG Connect provides device monitoring. The global product page also lists support for Roland DG, Summa and Graphtec cutters.

Integrated contour cutting keeps printing and cutting within one device. Readers considering other ink technologies can also review the TrueVIS XG-640 eco-solvent printer/cutter.
