Roland DGA has introduced its new VersaUV LEF2-300D flatbed ultraviolet (UV) printer.
The device has an expanded workspace that supports a height of up to 200 mm (7.87 in.)—twice that of standard LEF2 models—enabling it to print onto thicker materials and objects, as well as a greater array of shapes by accommodating diverse fixture sizes and types.
The product employs UV-light-emitting diode (LED) lamps to instantly cure ink, allowing direct-printing onto plastics, leather, wood, fabrics, and other materials. It also allows users to add ultra-realistic graphics and simulated embossing to a wide variety of items, including smartphone cases, awards, souvenirs, giftware, leather goods, electronic devices, and more.
According to Jay Roberts, Roland DGA’s product manager of UV printing, the printer was developed in response to customer feedback.
“Users asked for a benchtop UV flatbed that offers increased versatility to handle the growing demand for personalizing and customizing a wider range of products,” said Roberts. “That’s exactly what the LEF2-300D delivers. It opens up a new world of creative options and profitable business opportunities to customers.”
The printer incorporates a host of advanced features that optimize functionality, ease-of-use, and convenience. A Start Timer function completes printhead cleaning set-up and white ink circulation automatically by the user’s designated start time, while a positioning fixture allows to align items on the print table. The device adopts a new cleaning system that helps maximize reliability and reduce ink consumption during maintenance procedures. The product is also equipped with a transparent cover that prevents dust from settling onto the surface of materials while printing. Additional features include a Multiple Print function that allows users to print the same data again with the touch of a control panel button, and a Printer Status Monitor for checking the operating status of multiple printers in real-time.
