Roland DGA Launches New UV-DTF System

Roland DGA (Irvine, CA) has launched a new UV direct-to-film (DTF) system featuring enhanced media that significantly improves ease of use, productivity and versatility compared to previous UV-DTF products, according to a press release.

The new system consists of UV-DTFA Print Sheets and UV-DTFB Transfer Film designed to work with Roland DG VersaOBJECT MO Series benchtop, VersaOBJECT CO-i Series large-format and VersaSTUDIO BD Series desktop UV flatbed printers. When used together, the UV-DTFA and UV-DTFB media provide greater dimensional stability and eliminate adhesive residue deposits, while allowing for improved adhesion up to two times better than competitive systems. In addition, the UV-DTFB film features new layered technology that increases workflow efficiency, resulting in a much improved DTF transfer process.

The new UV-DTF transfer system enhances the bold color vibrancy, durability and adhesion of Roland DG’s specially formulated V-BOND inks (compatible with VersaOBJECT flatbed printers) by enabling high-impact graphics to be printed onto transfer media and then applied directly to a wide range of objects. The system delivers great image quality with precise dot placement and fewer print layers, making it easy to create embellished graphics on items that are difficult or impossible to print on directly. VersaSTUDIO BD-8 and BD-12 desktop UV printer users can also expand production opportunities when paired with Roland DG’s ECO-UV 5 inks. The UV-DTFA Print Sheets are offered in a box of 25 A3 (11.7 x 16.5 in.) sheets, while the UV-DTFB Transfer Film is available in 12.2 x 82-in. rolls.

“UV-DTF printing is an ideal solution for retail operations, small businesses and print providers who want to increase the value and appeal of just about anything by adding eye-catching graphics,” Roland DGA’s UV Printer Product Manager Philip Chu is quoted in the release. “The introduction of our new print sheets and transfer film further improve the overall performance of the Roland DGA UV-DTF System, allowing for faster production, the customization of a wider range of substrates and even greater adhesion.”
