Revolution Transfers to show production option at Labelexpo

Revolution Transfers will demonstrate a low-cost label production option on the 3M stand (11Q110) at Labelexpo Europe.The end-to-end capability includes a choice of Roland DG UV-curable or eco-solvent based print-and-cut inkjet devices in conjunction with 3M matched media and ColorGates’s Productionserver 6 RIP.  

There are no lengthy set-up times or make-ready requirements and no separate procedure or equipment is required for cutting, as Roland DG’s devices incorporates both print and precision contour cutting within the machine. 

Pairing Roland DG’s inkjet print-and-cut unit with 3M’s optimized media enables users to deliver small-lot labels, decals, stickers and commercial and industrial labels quickly. Variable data can also be used within the workflow, making the system suitable for personalization such as sequential numbering and individually customized text and graphics. Versioning and last-minute copy or text changes are also simple.

Revolution Transfers will demonstrate Roland DG’s print-and-cut devices in a choice of durable, color-accurate ink configurations. The company’s UV-curable option, VersaUV LEC series, is suitable for proofing and small-lot label production. This integrated print-and-cut device comes in widths of 0.76m and 1.37m and can print CMYK plus white and varnish onto virtually any substrate up to one millimeter thick. Non-white materials can be printed and spot varnish can be used to achieve high-end or special effect labels. As the device needs no warm-up time, it can be switched on instantly so is always ready for immediate production.

Roland’s desktop VersaStudio BN-20 will also be demonstrated on 3M’s stand at the show. The print-and-cut unit is said to be a strong candidate for low production of short-run labels onto almost any digital coated substrate, with a maximum print width of 480mm. Users can achieve high resolution output in CMYK, plus metallic ink, making it suitable for luxury labels.
