Eco-UV S ‘elastic’ ink ups versatility of the VersaUV printer series
A new formulation of UV-curable ink that enables prints to be stretched up to 220% has been developed to extend the capabilities of Roland’s VersaUV family of printers: the LEC-300, 330, 540 and the recently launched hybrid LEJ-640.
The Eco-UV S ink is formulated to retain flawless image quality across uneven shapes, corrugated and irregular surfaces, indentations, corners and curves. Used in conjunction with Roland’s VersaUV printers, the new inks are said to offer high levels of durability, with their tough output complemented by the curing capabilities of LED long life lamps.
These new inks are available in CMYK plus one channel of white, or a configuration of CMYK plus two channels of white.
?“Demand for our machines to be able to print increasingly to different, often difficult shapes, has resulted in the development of Roland’s new Eco-UV S ink formulation which addresses the requirements for a highly elastic UV-curable formulation,” explained Steve Chappell, Roland DG (UK).
Existing users of Roland’s LEC-330, LEC-540, LEC-300 and LEJ-640 UV-curable machines can upgrade the printers to accommodate the new Eco-UV S ink products. Those buying a new machine can specify their ink preferences at the time of ordering.?
