Roland DG’s stand at FESPA – titled 'What Matters To You Inspires What We Do' - will showcase the digital print pioneer’s leading role across a range of markets including signage, textile & décor, industrial and retail.
The award-winning new TrueVIS VG2 Series printer/cutters and VersaUV LEF2-200 UV-LED printer will be demonstrated live on the Roland DG booth (Hall A5 Booth H10).
“Taking pride of place on the booth will be Roland's latest technological innovation: the new TrueVIS VG2 Series,” says a press release. “This duo of printer/cutters – VG2-640 (1625 mm) and VG2-540 (1371 mm) – builds on the brand’s impressive heritage of digital desktop technology and represents the next generation of inkjet, featuring over 40 exciting enhancements to set the new industry standard in wide format print.”
TrueVIS VG2 is already an award-winner and delivers a host of significant user benefits, including new TR2 ink, new Orange ink for a wide colour gamut and colour matching capabilities, six-hour outgassing for high-quality same-day finishing, and an enhanced workflow powered by VersaWorks 6 RIP software.
The on-booth TrueVIS VG2 Discovery Zone will inform visitors how the TrueVIS VG2 can help their business.
For those exploring the world of personalisation, the Roland booth will also feature the brand new VersaUV LEF2-200 (pictured above). This latest addition to the VersaUV LEF flatbed printer family inherits the series' ability to print amazing graphics and life-like textures, including premium finishes such as simulated embossing, onto an array of rigid and flexible materials up to 100 mm thick.
Visitors will be challenged to decide 'Is It Real Or Printed?', with interactive demonstrations showcasing the VersaUV LEF2-200's ability to print authentic finishes on materials including PVC and plastics, canvas, wood, leather and fabric.
"We're really excited to bring to FESPA some of our very latest technology innovations, shaped and developed by the needs of the market and our customers,” said Gillian Montanaro, head of marketing, Roland DG EMEA. “Our solutions give print professionals a winning edge in what is a competitive market, enabling them to capitalise on unlimited opportunities.
