Roland releases new graphic transfer system

Roland DGA introduces a new Graphic Transfer System (GTS) that enables users to apply pre-printed UV ink graphics to irregularly shaped items – including those with uneven surfaces, rounded corners, or extended edges – that are difficult or impossible to print on directly, or not suitable for decals.

The Graphic Transfer System consists of multiple components needed to print and transfer graphics, including Roland DGA’s new GTS Print Sheets and GTS Transfer Film, V-BOND UV ink, and LEF2 Series benchtop UV flatbed printers (each sold separately).

“Just because objects are large or unusually shaped doesn’t mean you can’t enhance them with stunning UV-printed designs,” said Roland DGA product manager Kitt Jones. “Our new Graphic Transfer System makes it incredibly simple to decorate items that can’t be direct-printed on, or even those that could but where an alternative is beneficial. With the pre-printed transfer in hand, you can apply colourful, detailed graphics and unique dimensional and textural effects in seconds.”
