Roland DG and Starleaton Digital Solutions have inked a dealership agreement to offer the entire range of Roland DG printers, printer-cutters and cutters to the Australian market, commencing immediately.
“It’s a major move for our company,” says Director Garry Smith, “the Roland DG range is deep and wide – literally up to 2.6 metres, with around 28 unique hardware products to offer, plus inks and consumables. Roland DG’s build and reputation sits well with Starleaton’s philosophy and we already supply a lot of media to Roland DG users – it’s a great fit in with our hardware range and enables us to offer signage and display total customer-care packages including hardware, Rip, ICC profiling, inks and media. We’re veryexcited about the possibilities.”

The acquisition of the Roland DG dealership adds considerable fire-power to Starleaton’s existing hardware offerings. It immediately opens up the roll-fed UV sector with both print-only and print and die-cut models for labels and decals. Furthermore, sublimation printers such as the VersaArt and Hi-Fi Express are perfect partners for Starleaton’s Neschen textiles and soft signage range. The VersaUV LEJ-640 brings to customers a hybrid 64” UV/LED flatbed printing on composite sheets such as Starleaton’s Gatorfoam, Kapa and Forex, for under $80,000.
Roland DG AdvancedJET AJ-1000 and SolJET Pro III series take roll-printing capabilities up to 2.64 metres while the remarkable VersaStudio BN-20 offers a desktop print and cut label printer for under $9,000. Packaging proofing and prototyping is addressed with the VersaUV LEC-330 which features white and clear inks.
John Wall, Sales Director at Roland DG Australia welcomes Starleaton as a dealer; “We are selective who we appoint as dealers and following meetings both here and at overseas events, we are comfortable that Starleaton will be a valued long-term channel partner for Roland DG products. We are delighted to add them to our family of dealers and look forward to working closely with their sales and support teams to address and further the Roland brand into new market segments.”
“There is so much more with Roland DG,” says Smith, “I believe this agreement has changed Starleaton as a company, we are not just adding another brand to our range; we have extended our services and offerings to customers exponentially.”
Starleaton Sales Manager Campbell Hughes adds; “It’s a game-changer. With Roland DG, we’ve just morphed into something a lot bigger, but we’ll never lose our family-values and commitment to keep our promises to customers.”
