According to Roland, the new LEC-540 is significantly faster than Roland’s previous VersaUV models and offers greater versatility for applications ranging from packaging prototypes, short-run labels and membrane panels to interior décor items and large-format graphics.

With the new LEC-540, professionals can print, crease, contour and perf-cut graphics all on one device. VersaUV prints on an unprecedented range of materials including popular large-format media such as transparent film used for custom decorative window graphics and paper banner media for trade show displays, according to the manufacturer.

The company adds that new built-in front and back tables secure less flexible substrates for folding cartons and other packaging prototypes.

Conrad Birkett, business development manager at Roland DG says, “The LEC-540 is the perfect size for large-format graphics and supports direct printing onto less flexible materials including clay-coated newsback board (CCNB) used to produce folding cartons.

“It also includes a new tool to crease packaging designs for easy box assembly and perforated cutting capabilities for easy removal of excess materials.”

Roland DG adds that the LEC-540 features high-quality artistic print mode (1440 x 1440 dpi) for sharp, detailed graphics. In standard mode, the LEC-540 is twice as fast as the LEC-330 due to new larger UV-LED lamps that expedite production.
