What is the difference between our Roland and an Iris printer?
1. The Roland uses pigment-based inks and the Iris uses dye-based inks, so the Roland potentially over twice the longevity of an Iris. 2. The Roland is a 6-colour printer, where the Iris only uses 4 colours. The additional two inks provide smoother gradations and excellent highlight details. 3. The Roland can be roll fed, so it can print up to 54″ wide by whatever length. The Iris can only be sheet fed, so it is limited to the size of it’s drum which is approx. 34″ x 46″. The only perceived disadvantage is that the Iris’ dye-based inks have a potentially larger colour gamut. Properly calibrated, the Roland’s pigment-based inks can achieve a very wide gamut that will easily match that of the Iris.
