Roland DG has announced that the VersaSTUDIO BN-20 and VersaCAMM VS Series eco-solvent metallic inkjet printer/cutters, now offer a specialsed new ink configuration for white-colour printing applications.
This new configuration is available in 5 colours for the BN-20 - cyan, magenta, yellow, black and white; and 7 colours for the VS-Series - cyan, magenta, yellow, black, light cyan, light magenta and double white. Users can choose the ink configuration that best suits their business needs at the time of purchasing.

"Currently white colour printing is available for screen printing and gravure printing," said Conrad Birkett, Business Development Manager Roland DG Australia. "However, the high costs involved in plate making and paper use with these traditional methods means that small lot printing becomes unprofitable. Moreover, these traditional methods can take several days just to deliver a few pieces of print. With the additional new white-colour configuration options, Roland's BN-20 and VS Series are an ideal solution for small printing businesses, design offices and medium-sized screen printers to increase productivity, add value to their offering and cover a wider-variety of their customer's needs."

In today's market, the life cycle of a product is getting shorter, and as a result visual communication tools are becoming more significant to enhance retail promotions and drive sales. With innovative solutions such as the new white ink configuration, Roland DG aims to provide printing businesses with the tools to meet the growing demand from brand owners, retail outlets and design houses for small lot and specialsed printing.

VersaSTUDIO BN-20 - Compact and Low Running Cost

The BN-20 is a 20" (515mm) wide compact desktop ECO-Solvent inkjet printer/cutter. The BN-20 allows you to print small lot graphics on a wide variety of media including transparent film. You can also easily produce prototypes of soft packaging, bottle packaging design and labels right from your desktop. The BN-20 will allow you to save production costs and time with the unique Roland Print&Cut workflow that prints and contour cuts graphics of virtually any shape. In addition, by using transparent film users can achieve a luxurious feel where it appears as if there is no label at all, which is useful for beauty products, and various packaging applications.

VersaCAMM VS Series - High Opacity, High Speed and Quick Dry

The VS Series Eco-Solvent inkjet printer/cutters are available in 4 different widths: 30" (762mm), 42" (1071mm), 54" (1370mm) and 64" (1625mm). Using transparent film and the new white ink configuration with high-opacity white, the VS Series can produce a wide variety of high-quality applications such as small lot packaging prototypes, window displays, or labels and decals. The new white ink configuration increases speed by 200% for standard white colour printing compared to the previous Roland configurations. Furthermore, white colour printing is twice the speed for the double white setup compared with the previous Roland configuration for high productivity. The combination of a dedicated dryer and blower fitted on the VS-series device vastly increases productivity, and assures efficient drying of the white ink even in high opacity mode.

TIFF Merge Function Assures High Quality Printing of Process-Colour and White Colour



For precision printing, "TIFF Merge" function has been added to both the BN-20 and the VS-Series. The TIFF Merge function sends and prints a process-colour data file and a white-colour data file at the same time, preventing any gap between the two files, which can occur when the two files are sent to the printer and printed separately.
