Roland DGA Announces Addition of New Belt-Driven Hybrid UV Printers to VersaUV LEC2 S-Series

Roland DGA Corporation announced the addition of two new belt-driven hybrid UV printers to its VersaUV LEC2 S-Series. The LEC2-330S B-200 and LEC2-640S B-200 hybrid inkjets, which complement the existing flatbed models within the series, use a conveyer belt to transport media along the bed to a stationary printing gantry for increased versatility. The new hybrids also maximize creative options for users by printing directly not only on rigid and flexible substrates but also on roll-to-roll substrates.

The LEC2 S-Series belt-driven hybrid printers offer the same image quality and print speeds as the LEC2 S-Series flatbed models as well as faster loading and unloading times. Both the 30-inch LEC2-330S B-200 and 64-inch LEC2-640S B-200 are capable of printing directly on materials or three-dimensional objects up to 7.87 inches thick and supporting up to 44 pounds per square foot.

Their combined capabilities make these innovative inkjets ideal for everything from product customization and personalization to creating traditional signage, posters and banners, backlit and POP displays, trade show graphics, window coverings, interior décor, and more. The added roll-to-roll functionality also enables users to create longer retail signs and print onto unique, thicker roll media like natural or synthetic leather, felt, rubber mat, and plastics.
                                                                                                     
Both hybrid models feature narrow, lightweight designs that increase installation options, allowing for space-saving placement in a variety of print environments. Plus, switching from printing on flexible materials to printing on rigid substrates is simple.

Like the LEC2 S-Series flatbeds, the belt-driven hybrid models use specially formulated, GREENGUARD Gold certified wide-gamut EUV5 inks that provide unsurpassed graphic results. Users can choose from six different ink configurations to suit their individual requirements, including dual CMYK for increased productivity, or CMYK with Red, Orange, White, Gloss, and Primer options.

White and Gloss specialty inks make it easy to incorporate stunning dimensional and textural effects directly onto a vast array of substrates and objects, while the onboard Primer allows for improved adhesion and greater media compatibility.

In addition to the new Orange and Red process colors, specific Pantone and DIC colors can now be achieved, making it simple to accurately reproduce company brand colors.
