Focus on Digital Printing Roland DG
Setting a new standard for direct printing on 3D objects
Shoppers today are increasingly seeking unique experiences, and they expect retailers to offer them the ability to customise and personalise their cherished items. The market for personalised gifts is particularly appealing, offering signifi cant revenue potential for businesses.
In this context, UV printing is seeing an exponential increase in adoption. As the cost of living crisis persists, businesses are in need of technology that is both energy and cost-effi cient. UV printing technology meets this demand by reducing energy consumption and offering instant image drying, thereby lowering production costs and enabling more affordable products for both businesses and consumers.
One such UV printing device powering the UV printing revolution is the VersaOBJECT MO-240 UV benchtop fl atbed printer, a cutting-edge addition to the VersaOBJECT series that sets a new standard for direct printing on three-dimensional objects.
MO-240
This advanced printer features innovative large print heads in a staggered layout, a powerful UV-LED lamp, and dot control technology, enabling high-speed, high-defi nition output with remarkable precision. The MO-240’s productivity reaches 2.07m sq/hr in standard mode, with a notable improvement in white ink printing, which now cures faster for intricate details and fi ne text.
The MO-240 supports a diverse range of materials, including plastic, paper, leather, wood, glass, and metal, with the addition of Roland DG’s EUV5 inks. These inks, including new orange and red, expand the colour gamut by 20% compared to standard CMYK, delivering superior colour accuracy and vibrant fi nishes. The printer accommodates objects up to 204mm thick and can print on cylindrical items with an optional rotary axis unit.
