Roland DG Boosts Speed of Large-format UV Flatbed Lineup for Faster Direct-to-Object Decoration

Hamamatsu, Japan, April 10, 2025 – Roland DG Corporation, a leading manufacturer of wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters worldwide, is excited to announce the VersaOBJECT LO-640/300 series on-demand printing solution that enables anyone to easily perform high-precision direct printing on three-dimensional objects of almost any material which are generally done by pad or screen printing.

A key feature of the new LO series is their excellent productivity. In the CMYK + White simultaneous printing, the LO-640 achieves a printing speed of 5.0 m²/h, approximately 3 times faster than the previous models,* while the LO-300 achieves a printing speed of 3.4 m²/h, approximately 2.6 times faster than the previous model.*
*Comparison with CO-640i and CO-300i

Ryugo Nimura, President, Global Sales and Marketing Division, said, “This is truly an ideal device for customers who want to produce high quality customized decorations with large production volumes. The combination of two high-precision print heads and high-power UV-LED lamps allows for beautiful, high-definition printing of small characters, fine textures, and gradations, even at high output speeds.”

The LO series is capable of printing detailed graphics on a wide variety of substrates, including plastic, leather, wood, cloth, etc. The LO-640 offers a large printable area of 1,520 mm (W) x 2,450 mm (D), while the LO-300 offers 656 mm (W) x 1,450 mm (D). Both models can accommodate objects up to 242 mm in height and 100 kg/m² in weight.

LO series printers support EUV5 inks in CMYKOrRe plus Clear, White, and Primer. High-opacity White ink is often used as a base coat when printing on transparent film or dark objects, while Orange (Or) and Red (Re) inks enable accurate color reproduction of brand colors as well as unparalleled rich, vivid color expressions. The use of Clear ink produces unique finishing effects such as gloss or matte textures and simulated embossing.

Primer ink enables printing on materials that were previously difficult, such as glass and metal, making it ideal for personalizing a large variety of consumer products as well as the customization of industrial products and parts, interior decoration, sign graphics, POP displays, packaging, and other high-mix, low-volume production.

The printers also come standard with the latest RIP software, VersaWorks 7, which has greatly enhanced processing capacity and is compatible with macOS as well as Windows. In addition, LO series printers are compatible with Roland DG Connect, a powerful, comprehensive cloud platform providing information such as operating status and profit calculations to help users streamline their workflow and grow their businesses. Also included is PrintAutoMate which supports high-mix, low-volume printing to realize more efficient and accurate personalization services.

“With the diversification and individualization of consumer needs, there is a growing demand for timely and flexible responses tailored to each customer’s individual requirements,” Nimura said. “The LO series is a powerful solution to support customers who are looking to grow their customization business by enabling shorter delivery times, reduced costs, and higher profitability. We will continue to enhance the possibilities of on-demand decoration through the expansion of the VersaOBJECT lineup, to contribute to our customers’ creativity and value.”
