Roland’s eco-solvent print & cut technology to star in live multi-discipline demonstrations under the theme: “Make New Technologies Work for You”
The third Print Efficiently event is to take place in October at the Apex Digital Graphics showroom in Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire. Visitors will be able to see live demonstrations of the latest digital and litho printing technologies and automated finishing systems over a two-week period beginning on 1st October, including Roland DG’s wide format digital printer/cutters, the VersaCAMM VS-540 and SOLJET PRO4 XR-640.
Mat Drake, Business Manager - Commercial Print, Roland DG (UK) said: “As a production solution, wide format inkjet is an excellent way to supplement declining commercial print margins and this collaborative event is the perfect place for Roland to demonstrate how easily its wide format inkjet solutions are integrated efficiently into a typical commercial workflow.
“There is simply no more efficient method for producing contour-cut graphics for exhibitions, signage, POS displays or packaging prototypes than integrated print and cut, a concept pioneered by Roland. We’re proud to take our place among other industry leaders at Print Efficiently 2013 and look forward to engaging with visitors and discussing their business requirements in detail.”
