3 Years Outdoor Durability . Outstanding Color Fidelity.

And Easy Handling. All with No Compromise. SOL MEDIA
*Accelerated tests conducted by Roland DG predict three years of outdoor durability for outdoor graphics. Longevity is not warranted.
SOLJET – Combining legendary Roland printing and cutting technology with revolutionary SOL INK to
produce high-fidelity outdoor signs and banners with outstanding durability.
As Safe to Use As It Is Brilliant to See
Low-volatility Roland SOL INK is easy and safe to use, yet provides outstanding
color fidelity and vibrant graphics that are water and UV resistant for up to three
years outdoors when used with Roland SOL MEDIA.
Odor is virtually the same as standard pigment inks
and requires no special ventilation or environmental
equipment. SOL INK is packaged in convenient 220 cc
cartridges for easy handling and replacement.
Results You Can Depend On
Built-in ICC profiles pre-calibrated for specific SOL INK and Roland
certified media make the Roland ColorChoice® RIP the perfect partner
for SOLJET, ensuring signmakers a completely integrated, factory
solution for outdoor signage.
Enhanced Productivity That’s User Friendly
SOLJET allows signmakers to print beautiful, high-fidelity color signs,
banners and custom-cut graphics up to 1346.2 mm (53”) wide. Print head
height is adjustable to three levels to accommodate a wide range of
substrates. Whether printed up to 1440 dpi for the highest quality
photographic reproduction, or at low resolution for fast production speeds,
graphics are ready to displayed as soon as they are finished printing.
An optional motorized take-up reel facilitates unattended operation.
Precision Print/Cut Performance
Once an image has been printed, the SOLJET automatically contour cuts
your design without having to reload or reposition the media. Using
