Roland Introduces New Printer/Cutter

November 15, 2011

Roland DGA Corp., Irvine, Calif., has introduced the VersaStudio BN-20 — a 20-inch metallic desktop eco-solvent printer/cutter.

This printer is ideal for a range of applications, including apparel heat transfers, labels and decals, comps, as well as POP and promotional signage.

Additionally, this printer can be configured with the company's Eco-SOL MAX ink in either CMYK only or with CMYK + metallic silver for brilliant metallic effects. Metallic Silver Eco-SOL MAX allows users to create their own custom metallic colors or choose from 512 spot colors offered in the Roland Metallic Color System Library, which is part of VersaWorks. A Metallic Texture System Library also is included in VersaWorks. For users focused on indoor applications, VersaStudio can be configured with Roland FPG aqueous pigment ink in CMYK only, according to the company.

VersaStudio includes Roland R-Works design software and VersaWorks professional RIP software. R-Works allows users to draw and edit circles and curves, add text, and import both stock photos and images taken with a digital camera in .jpg and .bmp file formats. Also, it supports 12 ready-to-use metallic colors, so users can add metallic effects to posters, labels and decals.
