Roland DG secures 3 Pinnacle Awards
13 July 2026
Roland DG has received three 2026 Pinnacle Awards from the PRINTING United Alliance, including for its new ECO-UV EUV-H Hard Inks (in the Non-Output – Digital Inks/UV category), as well as for its innovative, digitally printable Dimense Media (in the Non-Output – Media/Non-PVC category), and its cloud-based Roland DG Connect Designer (in the Non-Output – Software/Web-Based Design and Personalisation category).
Dan Burmeister, CEO/President of Roland DG Americas, says: ‘As a company that prides itself on continuous innovation, we are delighted with these awards and we will remain dedicated to supplying products that allow users to optimise output quality, increase productivity, and maximise their profitability, providing exciting new technologies that help print professionals exceed the expectations of their customers and take their operations to the next level.”
EUV-H is a new industrial-grade UV hard ink developed for decoration and functional printing applications, to deliver exceptional durability, resistance, and performance across demanding industrial and commercial applications. Designed with enhanced scratch, chemical, and weather resistance, to enable more robust, premium output, EUV-H opens the door for businesses to expand into higher-value markets with confidence and scale.
Ryugo Nimura, Executive Officer Global Sales and Marketing Division, Roland DG, says: “With the new EUV-H ink, we are enabling our customers to go further in advanced and customised production. By combining durability with broad material compatibility and a forward-looking ecosystem, EUV-H helps businesses unlock new opportunities, deliver premium applications, and grow with confidence in increasingly demanding markets.”
EUV-H offers strong solvent and abrasion resistance, helping printed output maintain its integrity throughout production, handling, and end use. The ink is compatible with rigid substrates including plastic, glass and metal, and enables high-quality decoration across a broad range of materials. The ink is compatible with existing Roland DG VersaObject MO Series benchtop flatbeds as well as the company’s new RC-300 Series cylindrical printers and the IO-300 industrial UV flatbed (slated for launch in the second half of 2026). The latest edition to Roland DG’s ECO-UV ink family, EUV-H meets strict safety requirements, is low odour, and delivers superior durability and adhesion when printed on challenging surfaces like glass and metal, making it unbeatable for product customisation, personalisation, and manufacturing.
Dimense Media is an innovative, digitally printable substrate designed to bring out the best in Roland DG’s Dimense DA-640 – a revolutionary dimensional surface printer that makes it easy and cost-effective to create uniquely textured wallcoverings, fine art, signage, retail displays, packaging, and more. In addition to being PVC-free and environmentally friendly, the proprietary composition of Dimense media allows for a unique chemical interaction with Dimense water-based inks and the DA-640’s heater. This allows the user to control the media’s surface structure through this one-of-a-kind technology – rather than building up layers of ink – resulting in richer textured finishes with stunning embossing depths of up to 2 mm.
Roland DG Connect Designer is a user-friendly, cloud-based online application that simplifies professional print design, making it accessible to users of all experience levels – even those with little or no prior design software experience. It enables customers to quickly transform creative ideas into seamless, production-ready printing workflows that integrate directly with Roland DG’s VersaWorks RIP software and printing devices.
Presented annually, the Pinnacle Awards recognise excellence in technology and product innovation within the printing industry, highlighting advancements that contribute to industry growth and the impact these award-winning companies have on shaping the future of printing. In making its selections for the 2026 competition, a panel of experts evaluated a total of 71 product entries, awarding 25 Output winners, 32 Non-Output winners, and 14 Technology winners.
