InfoTrends Reports Roland DG as World's Number One Seller of Wide-Format Printers for the Durable Graphics Market

Hamamatsu, Japan, March 22, 2016 – Roland DG Corporation today announced that the company was again recognized as the leading wide-format printer manufacturer in the durable graphics market for 2015 in a recent report compiled by InfoTrends.

According to the InfoTrends 2015 Quarterly Wide-Format Tracking Shipping report, Roland DG shipped more units than any other manufacturer in the 30-inch and up category. The study suggests price point and technology type are key factors driving global demand for Roland DG products and enabling the company to achieve this level of continued leadership.

The InfoTrends product tracker is considered a reliable source of sales information. "Our data shows that Roland DG is the leading seller of wide-format durable graphics printers in 2015, as they have been for many years prior," noted Steve Urmano, InfoTrends analyst for the wide-format printing market.

The InfoTrends report covers all four reporting quarters in 2015 and takes into consideration all wide-format inkjets 30-inches wide and larger, priced under $50,000 USD, including solvent and latex ink technologies considered to be the largest segments of the wide-format digital printing market.

"We are thrilled, but not surprised, to learn that Roland DG remains the leader in worldwide sales within this market," said Eli Keersmaekers, president of global sales for Roland DG Corporation. "Especially in today's competitive landscape, with manufacturers introducing alternative solutions, this achievement shows that our technology continues to offer the best combination of quality, durability, and overall return-on-investment. Add to that our industry-best service, support and reseller channels, and it's clear why we continue to be the top choice."

The report by InfoTrends follows Roland DG's recent introduction of several new wide-format models: TrueVIS VG series printer/cutters which introduce new core technology and innovative features to Roland DG's leading eco-solvent technology; the SOLJET EJ-640, an eco-solvent printer that combines outstanding print speed and image quality with low running costs; the Texart XT-640, a dye-sublimation printer designed for high-volume production; and the VersaUV LEF-300 UV-LED, the largest addition to Roland DG's LEF series of benchtop UV flatbed printers.

"Roland DG is committed to continuously innovating and providing products that meet the high demands of graphics professionals around the world," noted Keersmaekers. "Users know they can count on Roland DG products to deliver unmatched versatility, performance and reliability day in and day out. Our customers also know that we will be with them every step of the way, ensuring that they get the most out of their products. That's what differentiates us from the competition."
