Roland DGA has introduced a new app that allows users to gain a detailed understanding of their overall print operations and access essential data for keeping their devices running with optimum performance.

The Roland DG Connect app is free to new and existing Roland DG owners, and is currently available for use with all TrueVIS series printer and printer/cutter models.

It provides instant access to key performance data, allowing users to monitor device activity and increase print production efficiency. The app features an easy-to-understand, colour-coded dashboard that provides an instant view of statistics like ink usage per cartridge while also showing a printing volume timeline for periods of up to 30 days. Additionally, it displays information for optimizing the health of the printer, such as printhead manual cleaning frequency, wiper life status, and levels of liquid waste. In addition, the app provides instant alerts to avoid costly productivity issues, as well as notifications for firmware updates and ink replenishment. Colour-coded views also allow users to monitor ink consumption per cartridge, so they can plan their ink usage and budget. 

A built-in Job Log allows users to review up to 30 days of print production on one or more connected devices, while an Error Log delivers machine alerts, including instant notifications on “feed motor errors” or “print finish activity.” 

“We want to ensure our customers not only have quality printers available for their specific needs, but also cutting-edge tools that maximize performance and extend the life of their machines,” said Daniel Valade, Roland DGA product manager of digital print. “This app allows end users to monitor their printers in real time, keep them operating at the highest level, and take their production with them wherever they go.”
