Roland DG Launches New D-EA2 Ink for High Quality Printing at Half the Cost

Hamamatsu, Japan, September 1, 2025 – Roland DG Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters worldwide, is excited to announce new D-EA2 Ink for its DGXPRESS ER series 64” eco-solvent inkjet printers, combining vivid print quality with exceptional productivity at an attractive price point.

Ryugo Nimura, President of Global Sales and Marketing at Roland DG, noted, “D-EA2 ink is a newly developed eco-solvent ink that achieves the high print quality and productivity DGXPRESS is known for, at approximately half the cost.* By reducing the price per milliliter and combining new ink control technology that achieves the highest image quality with the least amount of ink, we’ve significantly lowered running costs, enabling higher profits for our users.”

With optimized print profiles, ER printers using D-EA2 in a CMYK ink configuration output beautiful graphics with vivid colors, neutral grays, smooth gradations, and natural skin tones. In addition, the ER-642 is now equipped with a significantly enhanced Roland Intelligent Pass Control 2.0, which greatly reduces banding and uneven color even at high print speeds, while further improving image quality, color stability, and gradation reproduction.

VersaWorks 7 RIP software, included with the purchase of an ER series printer, maximizes the potential of the printer and ink, enabling even more beautiful results, faster. RIP processing speeds are up to 3.9 times faster than previous versions, so large volumes of data can be processed quickly, improving your productivity. In addition to Roland DG’s acclaimed “True Rich Color” print setting, which delivers a higher level of output quality, newly developed 16-bit rasterization technology and new dither patterns produce smooth, detailed output with minimal graininess.

With the ER series and D-EA2, a comprehensive manufacturer's warranty is included, plus optional maintenance contracts are available to offer complete peace of mind for many years.

Customers currently using D-EA ink can easily switch to the new D-EA2 ink by performing a firmware update and simple replacement procedure themselves.

“The ER Series was introduced in select markets*² as an eco-solvent model under the DGXPRESS brand, which focuses on delivering high productivity with attractive pricing, while maintaining the exceptional print quality and reliability Roland DG’s printers are renowned for. Since its launch, it has received high praise from customers and industry professionals alike,” Nimura said. “With new D-EA2 ink, DGXPRESS has evolved further, enabling users to meet increasing demands for shorter delivery times, reduced costs, and higher profitability. We continue to open up new creative and business possibilities for our customers around the world by providing products that respond to the needs of each and every one of our customers.”
