Features of the SC-545EX
What Is the SC-545EX?
The SC-545EX is a large-format printer equipped with a cutting feature and combining high speed with high print
quality . Not only can it be used either solely for printing or solely for cutting, but it can also perform printing and cutting
simultaneously. Also, using the crop-mark feature lets you remove media after printing, then load it again and perform
cutting, positioning it accurately. It also achieves better weatherability through the use of ECO-SOL INK.
Built-in Print Server
This machine has a built-in print server (Roland-PrintServer) as a network interface. When you use the print server, you
can send printing data to the machine from anywhere on the network.
Built-in Print Heater
This machine has a built-in print heater to improve ink adhesion and speed up drying. This enhances productivity by
enabling support for more types of media.
Includes a Software Raster Image Processor (RIP)
Software RIP, which is included with the machine, lets you use your computer to perform raster image processing for
printing data such as PostScript files exported from a program and output the data to the machine.
