CompareRoland VersaEXPRESS RF-640 DTF Kit Review: One Machine for Signs, Banners, and T-Shirts
If your shop already prints trade show displays and vehicle wraps, adding DTF shouldn’t mean buying a whole new machine. The RF-640, with a third-party DTF kit, bridges that gap handling 64-inch rolls of PET film with Roland’s legendary precision. It’s not the most elegant DTF solution, but for sign shops looking to offer custom tees alongside their core services, it’s a seamless expansion that pays for itself in cross-selling.

Customer Reviews
Coming from the sign and banner world, I already trusted Roland. This DTF setup exceeded my expectations. The 64-inch width means I can gang up multiple designs and maximize film usage. Print resolution is crisp even on fine text. Their VersaWorks software is intuitive if you've used any RIP before. Three months in and it's been the best investment for my print shop.
