Roland DGA Corp, a big name for wide-format inkjet printers and integrated printer/cutters, has introduced VersaUV LEC-330 roll-to-roll LED-UV inkjet printer/cutter. This
VersaUV series is the world’s first LED-UV inkjet printer/cutter line and the industry’s only production tool to print CMYK+White+Clear Coat and contour cut designs—all in one device through one seamless workflow.
Joining the original 30-inch LEC-300, this new printer is Roland’s newest VersaUV model. VersaUV LEC-330 prints on an unprecedented range of substrates including metallic surfaces for labels, decals, POP displays and posters as well as semi-rigid sheet stocks such as card stocks for folding cartons and thicker polycarbonate sheets for membrane switch applications.
Salient features LEC-330 is equipped with six high-precision printheads for a maximum print speed of up to 101 sq ft/hr. An Intelligent Ink Circulation System optimises ink usage and minimises waste. The built-in ventilation hood supports third party air filtration systems and enables printing on both flexible and semi-rigid sheet stocks.
ECO-UV ink adheres to a wide range of treated and untreated substrates with exceptional colour gamut. Instant-drying and flexible, ECO-UV ink produces prints that require no degassing and can be stretched and applied around curved surfaces and edges without cracking. The low heat UV LED lamps allow printing on heat-sensitive media such as shrink-wrap, pressure sensitive media and paper stocks with no risk of damaging the substrate. And LEC-330 creates original patterns and 3D domed corporate logos directly onto synthetic and natural leathers and can customise window coverings, tapestries and other interior décor items as well.
