Roland Expanding Into Industrial Digital Printing

Roland DG (Irvine, CA) has announced its intent to further its strategic expansion into the global industrial decoration market by previewing a new portfolio of industrial printing technologies, according to a press release. The expansion which includes industrial flatbed and cylindrical printing systems as well as durable ink solutions reflects growing industry demand for innovative production methods that support on-demand, flexible and highly customizable digital manufacturing.

The previewed range includes the VersaObject IO-300, an industrial UV flatbed inkjet printer; the VersaObject RC-300 Series of cylindrical UV printers; and a newly developed Hard UV Ink engineered for enhanced durability in demanding industrial applications. All products are currently in the announcement phase, with availability planned for the second half of 2026, subject to final specifications.

The portfolio preview builds on Roland DG’s existing industrial capabilities, including the LSINC Peri Series, an industrial direct‑to‑object solution already available and in use across production environments. Together with the previewed IO‑300, RC‑300 Series and new Hard UV Ink, these solutions reflect Roland DG’s continued investment in scalable, application‑driven industrial printing, per the release.

Several new products will be joining Roland DG’s currently available LSINC PeriQ360 high-speed direct-to-object printer (shown here).

“Industrial manufacturers are increasingly looking for ways to improve flexibility and responsiveness while maintaining quality and durability,” Kevin Shigenoya, executive officer, new business office, Roland DG, is quoted in the press release. “We’re strengthening our industrial portfolio later this year to help manufacturers address evolving production demands, enabling greater agility, responsiveness and application versatility as digital industrial printing continues to expand.”

The VersaObject IO-300, VersaObject RC-300 Series, and Hard UV Ink are currently in the preview phase. General market availability is planned for the second half of 2026. Specifications and performance details will be confirmed closer to full release.
