Roland DG launches lower-cost UV-LED Flatbed Printer

Roland DG Australia has announced the launch of the EU-1000MF large format UV-LED flatbed printer in the Australian market.

The EU-1000MF offers high-quality printing and support. It can print on a wide range of materials up to 95mm thick for various applications, including sign graphics, event and store displays, décor, and small-lot and high-mix custom goods.

Tony Miller, President of Global Sales and Marketing Division, says, “The EU-1000MF is a product with an excellent balance of functionality and price that will further accelerate our customers’ print businesses. By launching this lower-cost UV-LED Flatbed Printer, we’re aiming to create new opportunities to assist our customers in growing their businesses and to increase sales.”

The EU-1000MF is available in two models, 4-colour or 6-colour, with printheads in a staggered array for printing up to 27.6m2/h in 720 x 600 dpi CMYK mode and enabling it to handle approximately nine rigid 1,220 x 2,440 mm boards per hour. The UV ink is cured instantly, eliminating the need for post-print drying. At the same time, the ability to print directly onto various materials such as acrylic, PETG, PVC, foam, PC, wood, and aluminium composite boards further reduces post-processing time and costs.

Additionally, the EU-1000MF comes with advanced features, including bundled VersaWorks RIP, low-cost GREENGUARD Gold certified E-US inks, a liquid-cooled LED lamp system, a four-zone vacuum bed, an anti-static ionisation system to reduce static interference and solenoid alignment pins for easy media handling.

Product & Marketing Manager Greg Stone concludes, “With pricing starting from $110,000 ex GST and a comprehensive manufacturer’s warranty, the EU-1000MF has everything our customers need to take their business to the next level”.
