Three Roland DG Products Win PRINTING United Alliance 2024 Pinnacle Product Awards

Roland DG has announced that three of its products received PRINTING United Alliance 2024 Pinnacle Awards. The products are the Dimensor S large-format textural printer in the “Technology” category, DIMENSE media for the Dimensor S in the “Media—Textile—Traditional Wallcovering” category, and the VersaOBJECT MO-240 benchtop UV flatbed printer in the “Tabletop Flatbed (Industrial/Small Item Decoration)” category. The winning products and technologies will all be showcased at PRINTING United Expo 2024, September 10-12, in Las Vegas.

“We are thrilled to see three of our newest products receive these prestigious awards from the PRINTING United Alliance,” said Brian Brooks, Roland DGA’s manager of product management. “DIMENSE media and the Dimensor S printer offer users new dimensions in digital decorative printing and access to new markets with vivid imagery and tactile embossing. Our VersaOBJECT MO-240 – an extremely versatile and productive benchtop UV flatbed capable of printing vibrant, detailed graphics on a wide variety of substrates and three-dimensional objects – is also worthy of this important recognition. These unique product offerings demonstrate Roland DG’s ability to consistently develop and provide cutting-edge technologies that enable users to achieve stunning results, expand their product offerings, enhance productivity, and maximise profitability.”

Output devices are judged based on reports generated by measuring colour charts and comparing them to industry specifications. “This is the only competition I know of that reports on the percentage of Adobe RGB a printer can hit,” said Dawn Nye, Pinnacle Awards program manager for the PRINTING United Alliance. “Some categories were decided by tenths of a point, so the competition was fierce this year.”

“One of the things I like best about our competition is that it is juried, and judges are basing their decisions on objective criteria,” Nye continued. “And, with outstanding entries like those submitted by Roland DGA, they had their work cut out for them.”

Nye also pointed out the particular importance of the “Pinnacle Technology” honour awarded to the Roland DG’s Dimensor S textural printer. “The Pinnacle Technology Award competition represents the entry that is ‘truly innovative and likely to have a significant impact’ among commercial hardware, software, consumables, and industrial and screen equipment,” Nye said. “Congratulations to all the winners.”
