Roland DGA to Showcase Innovative VersaUV LEJ-640FT Flatbed UV Printer at SGIA 2015

Roland DGA will be showcasing its VersaUV LEJ-640FT flatbed UV printer at SGIA 2015, a unique, industrial-strength 64-inch inkjet capable of printing on substrates up to six inches thick and weighing as much as 220 pounds.

The LEJ-640FT printer’s innovative design and robust construction allows it to print directly on a vast array of substrates and objects, including thick substrates and three-dimensional objects, opening a new world of opportunities for users.

With its 64” (W) by 98” (L) bed, the LEJ-640FT flatbed UV printer can also easily handle popular 4’ by 8’ sheets. The LEJ-640FT’s rigid, all-steel frame reduces vibration for maximum stability. Adjustable pinpoint guides allow for precise registration and a zoned vacuum bed optimizes suction to keep substrates of different sizes flat. Dual stepper motors incorporated with a rack and pinion drive system also help ensure accurate printing.

In addition to CMYK, the LEJ-640FT offers White and Clear Coat inks for POP displays, art, architectural signs and two-sided signs with high visual impact and unique dimensional effects. Roland’s ECO-UV inks adhere to a wide range of treated and untreated materials with an exceptional color gamut. A patented Roland Automated Ink Circulation System™ prevents unnecessary discharges and minimizes the settling of pigments in the ink lines.

The LEJ-640FT flatbed UV printer is operated through a handheld EZ Controller with a user-friendly interface. The EZ Controller is programmed to deliver 1/1000th of an inch accuracy for precision print registration and print head height adjustment.

According to Jay Roberts, Roland product manager, the new flatbed’s six-inch gap and 220-pound capacity allows users to print on the widest range of materials and objects, opening up new opportunities for product decoration and industrial applications. Like Roland’s other VersaUV series printers, it can produce 1440 x 1440 dpi prints with flawless gradations, super fine details and sharp text.

The LEJ-640FT comes bundled with powerful VersaWorks® RIP software, which includes the Roland Color System and PANTONE® libraries for spot color matching.

Other features that add to the LEJ-640FT’s ease-of-use and productivity include dual sensors for automatic media thickness detection and print head protection, plus a cross-hair laser guide for precise base-point selection.

The VersaUV LEJ-640FT flatbed printer is backed by a Two-Year Trouble-Free Warranty and Roland’s world-class service and support. Roland owners and users can also take advantage of helpful resources available through the Roland Academy, including webinars, videos and hands-on instruction covering everything from printer basics to advanced applications and production techniques.
