Developed to offer new prototyping capabilities to the packaging market, Roland DG's 30in UV-curable VersaUV LEC-330 will be showcased at Packaging Innovations 2010.
With its ability to print onto almost any substrate and a white ink facility, this integrated inkjet printer/cutter is said to offer cost-effective proofing for specialist packaging mock-ups. Not only is it able to print CMYK, cut and crease onto a variety of materials, but it also uses both gloss and matte spot UV varnish to produce doming and embossing for use in effects like faux animal skin and Braille.
Print product manager, Roland DG, Mat Drake, said: “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. As it’s UV-curable, it will print on almost anything, increasing the scope for creativity, while reducing proofing times and costs.”
Roland DG will be demonstrating the LEC-330 and its integration with workflow solutions such as EskoArtwork Visualiser software and GMG’s ColorServer.
