Roland debuts wide format technologies at Ipex

Roland DG, a manufacturer of wide format inkjet printers, launched the VersaCamm VS-640 at Birmingham, UK-based trade show Ipex. The machine can print pure metallic ink and can mix process metallic ink to produce colorful lusters.

Demonstrations on the stand showed the VS-640’s ability to contour-cut its printed output. Roland also showed visitors how the VS-640 could perform the entire output end of the workflow unattended. 

The VersaCamm VS-640 creates a big differentiation among its peers by muscling in with a seam dodging sixty four inch width and a low price. The printer includes VersaWorks RIP, which manages the workflow, and Roland On-Support, a telemetry based system that can, among other things, email the printer operator when an unattended job is complete.

Also on display was the VersaUV LEC-330, a cutting and embossing machine which prints process color and white ink and spot varnishes in matt and gloss.

On the LEC-330, Roland demonstrated production of ready-to-make packaging models. With its UV ink set able to resolve high resolution imagery upon virtually any stock or substrate, the full potency of the printer was realized as the sample emerged, cut, creased and ready to fold, featuring all print elements, and even authentically embossed Braille and lettering.
