Roland DGA launches two VersaStudio desktop devices

Roland DGA adds two new products to its VersaStudio family of desktop devices – the BD-8 UV flatbed printer and the BY-20 direct-to-film printer. The BD-8 is the first flatbed UV printer to be offered in Roland DG’s VersaStudio series.

“Both the BD-8 and BY-20 are small enough to fit on your desk, yet they’re capable of doing very big things,” said Roland DGA’s product manager of digital print, Daniel Valade. “Plus, they are priced to suit the budgets and workflows of start-ups, smaller print shops, retail stores, and home-based businesses. The addition of these advanced devices to our VersaStudio lineup complements the series’ existing selection of compact, powerful inkjet printers, cutters, engravers, metal printers, and foil transfer devices, expanding the creative options for our customers.”

The BD-8 is capable of printing on substrates and three-dimensional objects, up to A5 size and 4 in. (102 mm) in height. With a BD-8, you can produce a wide range of items, including customized smartphone cases, notebooks, and cosmetic items. The BD-8 uses EUV5 inks that are available in CMYK and White.

The BY-20 desktop direct-to-film system lets you produce customized apparel and accessories.
