Roland DG announces new updates in ‘Connect’ app

Roland DG has announced the addition of new features to its Roland DG Connect, which is an innovative app that helps users gain a detailed understanding of their print operations while keeping their devices running at optimum performance. The updates include a new feature that lets users remotely control important functions of their Roland DG inkjet printers to further improve operational efficiency, plus new display screen customisation options for increased ease of use and convenience. Roland DG also is offering customers a free 90-day trial period of the Roland DG Connect Premium Plan, which includes these new features, enabling Roland DG printer owners to experience the benefits.

The new Roland DG Connect remote control system enables users to control a variety of printer functions remotely using their mobile phones or PCs. This includes turning the printer and heater on and off, circulating white ink, cleaning, and test printing. The user can complete printer set up for a job before leaving for work so that printing can begin immediately after the user arrives at the office. The printer also can be turned off from home when long print runs are completed at night, thereby minimizing time waste and providing a more secure operation. In addition, users now can modify the Roland DG Connect display screen to remotely monitor their printers’ operational status such as operating rate, printing progress, and remaining ink level.
