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.
