Roland DGA Announces Launch of New VersaOBJECT CO Series

Roland DGA has announced the launch of its new VersaOBJECT® CO Series inkjets – advanced flatbed and belt-driven UV printers that combine image quality, outstanding productivity, and unmatched versatility, with Roland DG reliability and ease of use.

The newest additions to Roland DG’s innovative line of UV-LED devices, and the first to be introduced under the new VersaOBJECT brand line, these next-generation inkjets print directly on a vast array of substrates and three-dimensional items, enabling print providers to significantly expand their applications and product offerings.

Replacing the VersaUV LEC2 S-Series within Roland DGA’s product lineup, the new VersaOBJECT CO Series offers customers a range of configurations and sizes to suit varying production environments and requirements. Customers can choose from two available flatbed printer widths (30” and 64”) as well as three available bed lengths (F200, F300, or F400).

The flatbed models enable print providers and product manufacturers to perform product customization as well as direct printing on flexible and rigid materials, allowing for an extensive range of merchandising, packaging, sign, and display application opportunities.

The two belt-driven hybrid models (CO-300 B200 and CO-640 B200), which allow for faster loading/unloading and can print on roll media as well as rigid materials and three-dimensional objects, are ideal for those seeking even greater versatility and efficiency.

All CO Series UV printers feature a media height of up to 7.87 inches, making it easy for users to direct-print vibrant, detailed graphics on a wide variety of substrates, including plastic, leather, wood, and cloth.

The CO Series printers’ carriage clearance as well as their ability to print directly on gently curved or uneven surfaces makes them perfect for the personalization and customization of consumer products, industrial products and parts, interior décor, signage, POP displays, packaging, and much more. In addition, the belt-driven hybrid models allow printing on items with longer shapes, as well as unique and thicker roll media such as natural or synthetic leather, felt, and rubber mats.

Roland DGA has also introduced two new Rotary Rack accessories – the Rotary Rack XL and Rotary Rack XXL – that further expand the product customization capabilities of the CO Series flatbed and belt-driven UV inkjets. Made in the USA, these durable yet lightweight aluminum attachments allow CO Series users to print quickly and accurately around cylindrical objects ranging from .5 inch to 7.75 inches in diameter, including bottles, glassware, drinking flasks, and more.

CO Series printers are engineered to take full advantage of Roland DG’s wide-gamut GREENGUARD Gold certified ECO-UV 5 (EUV5) inks, which cure instantly under the powerful UV-LED lamps. Users can choose from eight different ink configurations to suit their specific needs, including dual CMYK for increased productivity, or CMYK with optional Red, Orange, White, Gloss, and Primer.

The White and Gloss specialty inks can be used to incorporate stunning dimensional and textural effects into prints, while the onboard Primer allows for improved adhesion and media compatibility.

“The unique capabilities of these machines, as well as the various configurations available, make the CO Series perfect for any size print business seeking to grow its product offerings and profits,” said Jay Roberts, Roland DGA’s UV product manager. “These incredibly versatile, competitively priced machines allow users to print on just about anything, maximize operational efficiency, and produce vibrant, high-quality output that will please their most demanding customers.”
