Roland DG unveils stretchable UV ink for VersaUV series
Roland DG has introduced Eco-UV S, the next generation of its Eco-UV ink that is formulated to deliver exceptional elasticity and flexibility for graphics produced using Roland DG’s VersaUV line of inkjet printers. The ink is offered in cyan, magenta, black, yellow and white.
With Eco-UV S ink, users can create realistic packaging prototypes using shrink films or other packaging materials, enabling them to explore a wide range of design options. The prints can be extended up to 220 percent, allowing users to stretch graphics to fit even the most difficult uneven shapes, indentations, corners and curved surfaces.
Greater elasticity allows Eco-UV S prints to mold perfectly to the contours of PET bottles and plastic cups, and ensures excellent results on vacuum-formed plastic that is commonly used for items ranging from food service trays to auto parts packaging and consumer electronics cases. Users can also create three-dimensional wide-format graphics, including POP displays, signage and interior décor items.
