Platinum sponsor Roland DG South Africa will launch the new VersaSTUDIO BD-8 UV flatbed printer, and showcase its range of other printing solutions, at the Sign Africa Expo in Bloemfontein, being held on 15 February at Ilanga Estate, from 9am-5pm.
The VersaSTUDIO BD-8 makes it quick and easy for anyone, even those with no prior experience, to print vibrant and detailed graphics on a wide range of objects. The printer fits on the user’s desktop, making it ideal for use in home businesses, small offices, retail spaces and classroom settings. With a BD-8, adding value and appeal to items like phone covers, cosmetic cases, fashion accessories, sports memorabilia, gifts, bottles and more is a breeze.
The printer allows users to print vibrant graphics and detailed text directly on objects up to 102mm high, whether personalising creations for customers or crafting branded products for businesses. With the BD-8, designs can be printed onto a wide variety of materials, including plastics, paper, leather and wood, even glass and metal with the onboard primer ink. The printer supports True Rich Colour 3, a print setting that helps optimise colour vibrancy and accuracy, and has a variety of print modes with built-in setting information for specific applications, ensuring optimal results on smooth, curved and uneven surfaces.
Users can print light colours on dark surfaces with the white ink cartridge, and with the onboard Primer ink, designs can be printed on textures like glass and metal. The BD-8 printer is a powerhouse in a compact frame. It can be placed on a desk, and its front-access media setup, ink loading and maintenance allow for installation against a wall. The BD-8 is safe to operate as well, thanks to its full-cover design for UV light protection, GREENGUARD Gold certified inks and built-in fume extractor.
Users get professional-grade print performance at an entry-level price, designed to suit the budgets of start-ups and small, growing businesses. The printer also comes with a built-in fume extractor, so there’s no need to purchase a separate, costly air filtration unit. Users will also appreciate the included, simple-to-install design and output software.
The BD-8 makes it possible to print fully around cylindrical and curved objects up to 5.08cm (2 inches) in diameter, such as pens, jars and small bottles, with the optional rotary printing accessory.
