Roland DG Corp announces the sale of its 420,000th vinyl cutter. Then company began producing and selling its CAMM-1 series cutters in 1988 to improve the productivity of sign makers. Previously, stencils and signs were made by hand. Since the company’s introduction of Roland professional cutters, the vinyl cutting machines become widely used in a variety of fields to handle a range of applications, including stickers, decals, signs, window tinting film, floor graphics and heat transfers for apparel decoration.
For the consumer and office markets, Roland developed the smaller, less expensive and easy-to-use line of portable STIKA series cutters in 1990. STIKA satisfies the needs for consumer who want to decorate their automobiles or personal belongings with colourful labels and decals, and for small office personnel and retailers who want to produce office signs and point-of-purchase (POP) displays on demand. The big revolutionary announcement surfaced with the introduction of the company’s latest CAMM-1 product, the GS-24 desktop cutter. With 26 years of technological evolution, the GS represents true cutting-edge technology.
