Roland shows packaging sector potential of VersaUV LEC-330
Roland DG will use Packaging Innovations 2010 to showcase the 30in UV-curable VersaUV LEC-330 and its prototyping capabilities to the packaging market. With its versatility to print onto almost any substrate and with white ink capability, the integrated inkjet printer/cutter could be used as a proofing mechanism for specialist packaging mock-ups. Not only is it able to print CMYK, cut and crease onto a wide variety of materials, but it also uses gloss and matte spot UV varnish to produce doming and embossing for use in creating effects like faux animal skin and Braille.
"We believe that the LEC-330 can give packaging companies a distinct advantage over their competitors by adding real value," said Mat Drake, print product manager, Roland DG (UK). ?"The LEC-330 prints white ink, allowing for full colour proofing of packaging designs or prototypes on clear and plastic stocks. It can also profile cut intricate shapes and patterns, removing the need to manually cut the package or prototype following the printing process. In addition, as it's UV-curable, it will print on almost anything, making the scope for packaging creativity almost limitless."
Roland DG will be demonstrating the potential of the LEC-330 and its integration with standard workflow solutions such as EskoArtwork Visualiser software and GMG's ColorServer. List price for the VersaUV LEC-330 is ?36,999?
