Roland DG, the world’s leading provider of digital printing solutions, has today announced the launch of the VersaOBJECT LO-640/300 series of UV flatbed printers that offer high-precision, high volume printing on a vast range of substrates.
The LO series delivers exceptional versatility and up to 3 times more productivity than the previous generation device. With its ability to print detailed graphics on media up to 242 mm in height and 100 kg/m2 in weight, substrates and objects such as plastic, leather, and wood, are easily customised with a high degree of accuracy.
Supported by 750ml EUV5 inks in CMYKOrRe plus Gloss, White, and Primer options, the LO Series provides rich, vivid expressions and accurate reproduction of brand colours. The use of Gloss ink produces unique effects such as matte or gloss textures along with embossing. For challenging surfaces, printable primer offers increased print adhesion, making it ideal for personalising a large variety of consumer or industrial products.
Mark Elvidge, Product Manager EMEA, said, “This is truly an ideal device for customers who want high-quality print capabilities combined with impressive production volumes. The combination of two high-precision print heads and efficient LED-UV lamps allow for beautiful, high-definition printing, fine textures and gradations, even at high output speeds.”
“With the diversification and individualisation of consumer needs, there is a growing demand for timely and flexible responses tailored to each customer’s requirements,” Elvidge said. “The LO series is a powerful solution to support customers who are looking to grow their print to substrate business by enabling shorter delivery times, reduced costs, and higher profitability.”
The LO Series also come as standard with the latest VersaWorks 7 RIP software, which has vastly enhanced processing capacity, a new modern interface and has native support for Windows and macOS. In addition, LO series printers are compatible with Roland DG Connect, a comprehensive cloud platform providing information such as operating status and profit calculations to help users streamline their workflow, and PrintAutoMate, which supports high-mix, low-volume printing to realise more efficient and accurate personalisation services.
