Roland Announces New Texture Library for VersaUV

Hamamatsu, Japan — Roland DG Corporation, the pioneer of integrated Print&Cut technology, today introduced the new Roland Texture System Library for its VersaUV LEC series of 30” UV-LED inkjet printer/cutters. Included in version 3.31 of Roland VersaWorks RIP software, the Roland Texture System Library is supported by popular design packages including Adobe® Illustrator and consists of 22 textures and patterns that can be produced by layering the VersaUV’s ECO-UV Gloss ink.

Designed for versatility, VersaUV inkjets feature 6 colors (CMYK + White + Gloss) and an integrated contour cutter that together produce rich, textured graphics in virtually any shape on a wide range of flexible and rigid media. The VersaUV is ideal for applications ranging from high-end packaging prototypes and comps to control panels, specialty graphics and small lot production of labels and decals.

“The new Roland Texture System Library makes it easier than ever to enhance VersaUV graphics with unique textures and patterns,” said T. Niyama Roland DG color product manager. “With the new system, users simply select a texture or pattern from the swatch library and apply it to their graphics for instant, dramatic effects.”
