NOTICE:
First generation Roland® TrueVIS™ owners should be aware that Roland® is discontinuing the first edition of TR INK (TR1) by February 1, 2021. This means that you will need to upgrade your printer sooner rather than later to make the necessary switch to the superior and performance enhancing TR2 inks.

Improvements: In addition to quality improvements, VG and SG customers should also note that the TR2 ink price-point per ml are similar to the TR1, while operating costs are lower due to the efficient cleaning cycles used in the new TR2.
What is the Value-Up Program?  The Value-Up Program allows current TrueVIS™ SG-300/540 and VG-540/640 printer/cutter owners to upgrade to the optimized TrueVIS™ TR2 Ink formulation that adds many of the new generation TrueVIS™ production features to their existing model through a firmware update.

Why do I need to make this switch now?  Roland® is discontinuing TR1 INK by February 1, 2021 for good reason. The original version ink was shown to become unstable due to its incompatibility with printer hardware creating an inconsistent and sometimes troublesome mix which increased printer maintenance costs and triggered higher burn rates for end users.
Is TR2 Ink less expensive?  TR2 Ink pricing is the same price per ml as its predecessor. Although operating costs will be lower due to optimized cleaning cycles when using the new TR2.

Will I get the exact same color reproduction and output?  Both TR2 and TR1 provide outstanding image quality and color gamut. This color quality is slightly different when comparing the two inks due to enhanced dot patterns when using TR2 inks that provide improved image quality. This may also slow down print speeds in some modes by approximately 5-10%.
Does this operation need to be conducted by an authorized technician?  No, the Value-Up Program can be completed simply by the end user.

Will this affect the manual and automated cleaning cycles?  The Automated cleaning cycles will be shortened and happen less often while the Manual maintenance prompt will change from once a week to once every two weeks. You can continue manual cleaning once a week if that is your current schedule.

Do I change each color one at a time?  When converting to TR2 from TR1, you must change all the inks at the same time.
What if an issue occurs during the upgrade process?  Should any issues occur during the upgrade process, you may contact your authorized Roland® dealer, or Roland® DGA technical support. Please note, standard warranty terms and conditions will apply, and machines out of warranty may incur additional service costs. *Please note, TrueVIS printers not currently under warranty may incur costs associated with onsite support.

Will my current profiles still be active after I update? No, you will need to download updated profiles from the Roland® Profile Center for your TrueVIS™ with TR2 inks.
Will my job settings in VersaWorks® 6 be affected? All job settings will not be saved when updating Roland® VersaWorks® 6 as the ink set is completely different. VersaWorks® 6 will accept the firmware upgraded printer as a fresh install.
