Platinum expo sponsor Roland DG South Africa will premiere a range of new printers that will be showcased for the first time in Africa at the Sign Africa and FESPA Africa Expo, taking place from 9-11 September (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) at the Gallagher Convention Centre, 9am-5pm.
Roland will debut these printers:
TY-300 DTF Printer
The printer delivers stunning graphics and bold designs for heat transfer onto a wide range of materials, including cotton, polyester, denim, nylon, rayon, and more. Users can transform custom apparel and textiles with technology that enables them to produce vibrant colours, razor-sharp text, and fine details with unprecedented cost effectiveness, speed, and efficiency.
TrueVIS XG-640
The printer uses new GBL-free TR3 ink to deliver rich, vivid colour in a wide colour gamut, with a choice of ink configurations up to 8 colours. White ink printing is three times faster and 1.3 times denser than the VG3, delivering excellent opacity for window graphics and base coats.
TrueVIS XP-640
The printer delivers speed and productivity without compromising on image quality. The machine features high print speeds paired with TrueVIS colour, vibrancy, and detail. Backed by Roland DG’s trusted reliability and customer support, this inkjet printer delivers versatility and performance.
VersaOBJECT MO-180 / 240
Users can expand their business with high-definition, high-speed digital printing thanks to the VersaOBJECT MO Series. The advanced UV flatbed printer gives users the power to dominate a growing direct-print market.
DIMENSE DA-640
The large format water-based printer enables the user to control the media’s surface structure through specialised media, ink, and heat rather than building up layers of ink, creating richer finishes that meet industry professionals’ expectations and demands. DIMENSE technology and the DA-640 printer take the user beyond interior design and add an unforgettable, textured twist to their digital print applications. The DA-640’s combination of newly developed dual printheads, which eject fine ink droplets at high density, and state-of-the-art ceramic heaters, delivers high-definition, vivid image quality, along with embossing that’s strikingly precise, crisp, and clear.
