The company claims that the new VersaUV LEJ-640F wide-format flatbed printer brings superior levels of functionality, versatility, and quality to wide-format UV printing. Rob Goleniowski, business manager for sign and graphics, Roland DG (UK), explains: “This machine has generated tremendous interest since we introduced the prototype as our first dedicated flatbed offering at Sign and Digital UK last year.

“A year on, and we have an outstanding commercial model to offer the industry and it is a welcome addition to our growing family of UV machines.”

The VersaUV LEJ-640F is designed to produce an extensive range of applications, such as outdoor and indoor signage, point-of-sale (POS) displays, exhibition graphics, 3D and textured print, and packaging prototypes. Able to print on both rigid and flexible media, the machine has a print area of 1600 x 2500mm wide and prints on substrates weighing up to 200kg and up to 150mm (6 inches) in height.

Goleniowski continues: “Now, with the public availability of a dedicated flatbed machine, we have achieved another true milestone in the continued evolution of Roland DG as one of this industry’s most dynamic and innovative manufacturers.

“The inherent flexibility of this machine is exceptional and we are looking forward to meeting with customers at Sign and Digital UK 2014 to discuss how they can diversify and grow their product offering and profitability by investing in this exciting flatbed UV technology.”
