T he team at
print service, has added the VersaUV LEF-20 desktop printer to its repertoire following a visit to the Roland DG Creative Centre. The machine, which is a predecessor to the LEF-200, instantly impressed PrintStudio supervisor, Richard Ashdown.
He said: “When we were first shown the LEF-20 I couldnʼt believe the vast range of objects it could print directly onto, even objects with curved surfaces. I kept on trying to find something that it wasnʼt able to print on but to no avail – safe to say, we soon snapped one up.” Taking inspiration from Roland DGʼs innovative applications on display at the Creative Centre, the PrintStudio team fully

immersed themselves in exploiting the diverse applications possible with the newly installed LEF-20 to achieve their vision of becoming a one-stop shop for their customers. Mr Ashdown added: “Adding the VersaUV LEF-20 printer has allowed us to offer our customers an even wider variety of products such as personalised pens, USBs, awards and many more. Not only is the finish of the products we produce better than ever before, but weʼre able to provide a quick turnaround on items that have traditionally been ordered externally in large quantities. One of the first jobs that we utilised the LEF-20 for was printing Braille signage for use across the universityʼs campuses, something that would have previously been externally sourced.”
