The Roland VersaUV S-Series LEC-330S-F200 at The Sign Shed
A Roland DG VersaUV S-Series flatbed printer from supplier printMAX has been installed at The Sign Shed.
Founded around four years ago, the company is one of the UK’s leading online suppliers of health and safety signage. With an expansion into new purpose-built premises planned for this summer, at the heart of the new space will be a Roland VersaUV S-Series LEC-330S-F200.
The company was previously printing graphics and letters onto vinyl for application onto signage materials. Now, it can print accurate CMYK, white and gloss directly onto typical signage substrates such as composite aluminum, rigid plastics, Foamex and Corex. By removing the vinyl application step, this makes the sign-making process faster while also freeing up The Sign Shed’s Roland TrueVIS VG-540 for work such as sticker production.
‘We’ve used Roland printers from the start, beginning with a Roland BN-20,’ commented Rob Haywood, director. ‘Our customers expect the best and we want them to be proud of their signage; we’re not cheap and cheerful, we rely on Roland to deliver top quality. Our customers also want a fast turnaround and the addition of our new machine has reduced manufacturing times by three-quarters.’
Mr Haywood added, ‘It’s important for The Sign Shed to have the most up-to-date technology possible, and the new Roland printer has the latest UV inks. It’ll also fit neatly into our new premises!’
