Roland DG introduces world’s first eco-solvent printer for sensitive applications

Roland DG has announced SF-200, the world’s first desktop eco-solvent printer developed for sensitive applications including toys, food containers and medical instruments. The painted launched in EMEA region runs highly durable yet safe inks that retain vibrancy and image quality while meeting standards for safety. The desktop system can accommodate objects and media up to 538x360mm and up to 100mm in height, with extensive material compatibility ranging from ABS, PVC, TPU, PET, PP and PPMA to wood, aluminium, glass and leather. This makes the printer perfect for highly specific print requirements, whether the user wishes to print a unique full-colour design or piece of text directly to a single object or several items at once.

SF-200 eco-solvent inks are compatible with children’s toys made from plastics, wood, leather and more – with designs able to withstand the roughest games. Similarly, the printer is ideal for both manufacturers of food containers and retailers, who can use the system to offer personalised lunchboxes, drinking bottles and travel mugs to their customers. In the medical sector, the new Roland SF-200 is incredibly useful for on-demand and general printing onto aluminium instruments, plastic devices and labels, all of which can be safely used in direct contact with human skin.
