Description Technical Specs
 

With the 30" and 54" VersaUV LEC printer/cutters, you can easily create vibrant prototypes and short runs on a variety of actual press substrates, in one seamless workflow. Flexible bag media. Folding cartons. Pressure-sensitive labels. Clear film. CMYK. White, Varnish, Emboss, Crease and Contour Cut. All with a single device.

One device. Unlimited possibilities.

From roll stock to card stock, the VersaUV delivers detailed image quality at resolutions up to 1440 dpi. Print flawless graphics and text with vibrant Roland Eco-UV inks including CMYK, White and Clear Coat for remarkable special effects ranging from gloss or matte finishes to custom textures and simulated embossing. Plus, the VersaUV LEC automatically scores and contour cuts virtually any size and shape for unmatched versatility.

Materials matter.

Low heat UV LED lamps allow the VersaUV to handle a vast array of press substrates, including foils, BOPP, PE, PET film, clear and metallic stock. In addition, you can print directly onto synthetic and natural leathers, window coverings, fabrics and other specialty materials. The VersaUV includes a straight media path for printing on semi-rigid sheets such as card stocks and polycarbonates up to 1mm thick.

Package prototyping made easy.

Whether it's a label, box, bag or sleeve, brand packaging customers require a proof of concept before going to press with a packaging job. But printing even a single proof on the press can be costly in both time and money. Traditional proofing devices are limited in materials and special effects, and require time-consuming hand processes for scoring and cutting. The LEC series eliminates these issues and allows you to create dynamic prototypes and custom short runs from start to finish, on virtually any substrate.

The proof is in the print.

For critical proofing applications, the VersaUV is compatible with popular color proofing software, including CGS ORIS Color Tuner, GMG Color Proof and FlexoProof/Dot Proof and EFI Color Proof XF and Fiery XF RIP.

Features

Feel the color.

One of the most powerful features of the VersaUV is the ability to use Eco-UV Clear Coat ink to create a wide range of special effects, from matte or gloss finishes to stunning spot treatments. By laying down multiple layers of Clear Coat, and automatically repositioning the UV lamps, the LEC allows you to simulate embossing as well as create truly unique custom-textured effects from water droplets to faux leather to crocodile skin...even Braille.

Integrated printing and contour cutting.

The LEC series streamlines the production process by automatically contour cutting printed graphics, saving valuable time and effort. The LEC can contour cut through the top layer of lined media or create a perforated cut on non-lined media such as card stock. By switching out the cutting tool, the LEC can also crease your media for easy, accurate folding.

Advanced UV inks

Instant drying and flexible, Eco-UV ink delivers high density and a wide color gamut. Choose from two formulations - original Eco-UV in CMYK, White and Clear, or Eco-UV S in CMYK and White. Both Eco-UV formulations produce prints that require no degassing and can be stretched around curved surfaces and edges without cracking. Eco-UV S stretches over 200%, ideal for printing on shrink sleeves and wraps and for thermo-forming applications.

Choose from four ink configurations:

  • Eco-UV CMYK + Whie + Clear
  • Eco-UV CMYK + Clear + Clear
  • Eco-UV CMYK + White + White
  • Eco-UV S CMYK + White + White

For indoor graphics, Eco-UV inks offer superior scratch and chemical resistance. Outdoors, Eco-UV inks last up to six months without coating (both formulations), and up to two years when Clear Coat is applied as a finish (Eco-UV only).

Eco-UV inks are packaged in no-mess 500ml cartridges and safe after curing. Proper ventilation is required. The LEC series is ventilation-ready, featuring a ventilation hood for easy connection with an air filtration system.

Roland Intelligent Pass Control

Across a wide variety of applications and media, Roland Intelligent Pass Control technology delivers outstanding image quality in all print modes while eliminating virtually any signs of banding. This patent-pending system ensures that graphics look great when viewed indoors or outdoors, up close and at a distance.

Production print speeds

The LEC-540 features larger UV LED lamps to expedite production. Equipped with six high-precision print heads, the LEC-540 delivers a maximum print speed of 126 sqft./hr. in High Speed mode. The LEC-330 prints up to 101 sqft./hr. Each print mode has been meticulously fine tuned for the head configuration to deliver optimized performance and superior print quality.

Energy efficient and ozone free.

The LEC requires a fraction of the power required by conventional UV printers and can be operated on a standard electrical outlet without an additional power supply. The LEC series is also Energy Star certified and automatically enters a low power mode when it is not used for an extended period of time. This low power design automatically saves thousands of dollars in electric bills each year and reduces considerably the emission of green house gases.

The VersaUV's UV-curing system uses safe, low heat LED lamps that last up to 10,000 hours -- ten times longer than conventional UV lamps. LED lamps can also be turned on and off instantly for true on-demand operation, requiring no warm up time. The low heat UV LED lamps allow printing on heat-sensitive media with no risk of damaging the substrate.

The LEC uses a light source that is completely ozone free and emits light in the range called Near-UV of the UV spectrum, making it a safe alternative to conventional UV lamps. The LEC series carries Roland’s Eco-Label for environmental compliance.

Efficient ink usage.

The VersaUV's Automated Ink Circulation System prevents pigments from settling in the ink lines for consistent density and reduced white and clear ink waste. The circulation system dramatically lowers running costs while ensuring exceptional image quality throughout the longest production runs.

Advanced media take-up system

The LEC series includes an automated media take-up system to facilitate precision unattended printing and cutting. This pre-assembled unit includes an advanced tension-controlled take-up system for optimum media feed and tracking..

Ethernet connectivity

Printing white and CMYK onto bottles and cylindrical objects is an absolute snap with the new RotaPrint attachment for the VersaUV LEF-300 flatbed printer. Simple to install and remove, it utilizes the LEF-300’s existing feed system and enables the LEF to print cleanly and precisely onto a wide range of materials with a diameter between 1.6 to 3 inches (40 mm to 77 mm).

With its sturdy build, RotaPrint is also consistently and reliably accurate, ensuring precise stepping during rotation.

Roland OnSupport for Remotely Managing Your Printer

The LEF-300 features Roland OnSupport, an online customer support system that allows users to remotely track the printer status and send e-mails to users notifying them when a job is completed or when ink is running low. Users can download firmware updates and important product information at an exclusive website in just one click.
