NEWS Get creative with Roland
Roland customers worldwide now have until 29 January 2012 to showcase their best work and compete for magnificent prizes, including a trip for two people to Japan, an Apple iPad2 and a new Roland device of their choice. The deadline to enter the Roland Creative Awards has been extended in response to the popularity of the competition, which has received over 600 entries since its launch in September. “We have received such a high calibre of entries so far, which range from imaginative boat wraps to stunning exhibition stands, beautiful jewellery, wacky car wraps and even model helicopters”, said Gillian Montanaro, Head of Marketing at Roland DG (UK). “We’re really seeing inspiring creativity and innovation from Roland users, and invite everyone to take a look
at the Roland Creative Awards website and vote for their favourites.”
The Roland Creative Awards is open to users of Roland equipment across the globe and entries will be judged based on creativity, innovation and execution in each of the 14 regions representing 123 countries. More than 75 prizes are being awarded worldwide. Judging for the grand prize will take place during Roland’s 30th Anniversary Celebration, to be held in April 2012 at the company’s global headquarters in Hamamatsu, Japan. To participate in the Roland Creative Awards, Roland owners must submit entries online by 29 January 2012.

Xaar sponsors PrintIT!
Xaar has confirmed its sponsorship of the PrintIT! programme which engages students in topical design projects using the latest print techniques to demonstrate just how diverse and interesting the print industry can be. Mark Alexander, Director of Marketing for Xaar says: “We aim to educate as wide an audience as possible about the many opportunities provided by digital inkjet technology. Therefore, we are delighted to continue our support for this major initiative that promotes the print industry within schools to attract fresh talent with fresh ideas. “Results of a recent survey found that students participating in PrintIT! are three times more likely to think about working in the industry after completing the programme. PrintIT! is having a real impact on the way the industry presents itself to the wider world. It develops closer links between schools and industry, whilst improving individual skills for students.”
As part of Xaar's sponsorship, the company gave every school that entered a copy of its book ‘Industrial Inkjet for Dummies’ as an educational tool to enable them to learn more about industrial inkjet technology.
