The LEF-200 incorporates Roland DGs proprietary CMYK, white and clear ECO-UV inks for premium quality printing. Clear ink can be printed for spot gloss or matt finishes, as well as unique embossing effects. White ink can be printed as a spot colour or behind CMYK on dark backgrounds or clear materials. To meet individual business requirements, users can choose from three ink configurations: CMYK+white+ primer, CMYK+white+clear, and CMYK+white+white.
Ms Maeda concluded: “With the growing desire to offer consumers a personalised experience reflecting individual preferences and lifestyles, the market for on-demand printing onto a whole array of items is an exciting and growing trend. In recent years, we have seen an increasing number of businesses using our VersaUV LEF printers to provide custom printing of smartphone
cases and accessories. With the LEF-200s greater versatility for applications, the money-making possibilities are substantial and with its ease-of-use capabilities, even operators with minimal digital printing skills can operate the device.”
