Roland DG (UK) has announced the launch of the VersaUV LEJ-640FT, the newest in its series of UV ink based printers. With improved usability, the LEJ-640FT represents the next generation of wide format flatbed printers in the VersaUV range.

Designed with production versatility in mind, the LEJ-640FT offers businesses the size and functionality of a flatbed with the flexibility of Eco-UV inks, including gloss and white for luxury effects and textures. Capable of printing on flexible or rigid substrates or objects up to 150 mm in height, and 100 kg in weight, the combination of instant curing and ability to print on a variety of non-traditional substrates makes the LEJ-640FT the ultimate in versatility in the flatbed market.

Mark Elvidge, business development manager, said: ‘The VersaUV LEJ-640FT is a product we are proud to add to our UV range. With improved production workflow, a large, robust print area and advanced Eco-UV inks, the LEJ-640FT will provide the ideal solution to businesses who need something on a larger scale than the VersaUV LEF-300.’

The LEJ-640FT offers a 1606 x 2490 mm print area, making it ideal for printing on anything from signage and packaging prototypes to guitar cases and heavier substrates. With the LEF-640FT’s quadruple zone vacuum technology, printing on large quantities of smaller substrates or items is also simple; allowing for multiple workflows within one space and improving production.

The LEJ-640FT is also ideal for a busy print shop, where technicians may run multiple machines in tandem and manpower is at a premium. With the flatbed not requiring an external compressor, the floor space required is greatly reduced and the machine is more accessible from all sides, whist the innovative Handy Panel included offers high levels of machine control without a loss of movement or being tethered to one workflow.

Mark continued, ‘With the included Handy Panel and quad zoned vacuum bed, a multi-product workflow with the LEJ-640FT is effortless. Intuitive controls, full Roland DG support and easy ways to keep track on your printing ensure using a wide format flatbed is as simple as using any of our UV printers, leaving you to achieve perfect prints and profits.’
