Automotive Stripes installs two Roland DG AP-640 Resin Printers

Automotive Stripes Australia (previously Custom Striping), a supplier of caravan stripes and graphics, has added to their current fleet of 3 Roland DG printers, installing two TrueVIS AP-640 resin printers from Spicers.

With the announcement of the TrueVIS AP-640 resin printer in early 2023, the company showed immediate interest. With the assistance and support of Spicers, business owner Ryan Smith was immediately impressed with the results, noting “We are absolutely amazed with the production speed, quality and also colour gamut…maintenance and cleaning is much easier and down time due to problems is very rare.”  

The two printers were purchased three months apart;  with the company deciding to add a second AP-640 to keep up with the increased workload,  Smith noted the immediate benefits of zero outgassing time which helped to streamline their production. Smith also says that “The dryer has a very fast heat up and cool down time compared to what we have heard about other brands, and very little of that heat is lost into the room due to an efficient air recirculation system in the drying unit”.

Overall the experience with Roland DG and Spicers has been a very positive one. After a long relationship with the Roland DG brand Smith concludes “They have always looked after us, and their communication is very good, which is a massive part of feeling valued as a customer.”
