IndPrint

A collaboration between Roland DG EMEA and ink manufacturer Marabu GmbH & Co KG, the new Roland VS-300iS-GO is a purpose built digital flatbed solution for the printing of graphic overlays and membrane switches.

The VS-300iS-GO is compatible with a huge range of products, including consumer electronics, vending machines, office equipment, medical devices and more.

As part of a hybrid workflow, the new VS-300iS-GO prints colour accurate images, text and logos on to media before a layer of white ink is screen printed on top. Users enjoy all the advantages of digital print technology with low set up costs, fast set up times, easy re-prints, superb proofing capabilities, variable data printing, extra durability and an incredible quality finish. Moreover, Marabu’s virtually odour free water based inks achieve the highest levels of safety, meeting the EN71-3 standard.

The new VS-300iS-GO is perfect for multi-coloured and highly detailed images with smooth gradients. The easy to use software and wide colour gamut enable users to match colours quickly and accurately – ideal for corporate branding, hitting Pantone or Ral shades, or reproducing colours from a previous job.

Paul Willems, Roland DG’s director of business development and product management EMEA, commented: ‘Roland DG EMEA and Marabu have combined their considerable specialist industry knowledge to bring to the graphic overlay market this innovative purpose built solution. The new VS-300iS-GO offers the best possible results in terms of quality, durability and efficiency and enables easy access to this profitable market with low investment costs and compact, easy operation. The VS-300iS-GO offers huge potential to printers, servicing a wide range of markets, from medical, aerospace and defence, to gaming, appliances and consumer electronics.’

Matthias Schieber, Marabu´s product manager for inkjet products, added: ‘Marabu and Roland DG joined forces to provide a dedicated solution for applications demanding the highest quality images and durability. The ink series Maqua Jet DA-RGO is a technically validated ink solution for industrial printing and at the same time it’s designed to be combined with Marabu screen printing inks. Maqua Jet DA-RGO completes Marabu´s technological leadership in industrial applications as a complementary digital ink solution for hybrid workflows.’
