Eco-Solvent Ink — 220 ml and 440 ml Cartridges
Eco-Sol MAX 2 is the long-serving eco-solvent ink behind the BN-20A, the BN2 desktops and the VS, XF and XR wide-format machines. Alongside process colour it offers light inks in 440 ml for smoother gradients, plus white and a genuine metallic silver in 220 ml — the latter still one of the more distinctive effects available straight off a Roland printer.
ESL4-MT prints a genuine metallic rather than a simulated grey, and can be overprinted with process colour to produce metallic golds, bronzes and pearl effects.
Light cyan, light magenta and light black smooth the transitions that a four-colour set tends to break up, particularly in skies and skin tones.
Eco-Sol MAX 2 has been the standard across the VS, XF and XR families for years, with a wide media compatibility list and well-understood outdoor durability.
The same family covers the BN-20A and BN2 desktops and the 64 in. XF-640 and XR-640, so a mixed shop keeps a single consumable line.

Eco-Sol MAX 2 runs from the BN2 desktops through to the 64 in. machines.
No. Light cyan, light magenta and light black are 440 ml only. White and metallic silver run the other way — 220 ml only.
ESL4-MT is $334.99 USD / $489.99 CAD against $113.99 / $159.99 for standard colours. It carries genuine metallic pigment, which is both costly and difficult to formulate for an inkjet head.
No. Eco-Sol MAX is ESL3 and Eco-Sol MAX 2 is ESL4. They are separate inks for different machines and should not be mixed.
