Roland DG announces new benchtop MO-240 UV object printer

Roland DG Corporation has announced the MO-240, a new UV flatbed printer in the VersaOBJECT Series that enables direct printing on a variety of three-dimensional objects with higher productivity. The MO-240 achieves productivity of 2.07sq m/h in standard mode by combining two newly developed large printheads in a staggered layout with a powerful UV-LED lamp and dot control technology optimised for high-speed output. Productivity for simultaneous white printing has also been improved to approximately double that of previous models. In addition, the ink can be cured in a shorter time so that small characters, fine text, and subtle gradations can be reproduced in high definition to the smallest detail.

Roland DG EUV5 inks include Orange and Red in addition to CMYK plus White and Gloss. By controlling Orange and Red inks as process colours, the colour gamut is expanded by approximately 20% compared to CMYK printing, resulting in superior colour reproduction and accuracy. Gloss ink produces premium gloss or matte finishes and realistic textures including 3D embossed effects.  EUV5 inks can be printed on a wide range of soft to hard materials, including plastic, paper, leather, wood, etc. Glass and metal can also be printed on by using primer ink.
