Roland DG, a provider of digital printing solutions, has signaled its intent to further its strategic expansion into the global industrial decoration market by previewing a new portfolio of industrial printing technologies. The expansion which includes industrial flatbed and cylindrical printing systems as well as durable ink solutions reflects growing industry demand for innovative production methods that support on-demand, flexible, and highly customisable digital manufacturing.

The previewed range includes the VersaObject IO-300, an industrial UV flatbed inkjet printer; the VersaObject RC-300 Series of cylindrical UV printers; and a newly developed Hard UV Ink engineered for enhanced durability in demanding industrial applications. All products are currently in the announcement phase, with availability planned for the second half of 2026, subject to final specifications.

The portfolio preview builds on Roland DG’s existing industrial capabilities, including the LSINC Peri Series, an industrial direct‑to‑object solution already available and in use across production environments. Together with the previewed IO‑300, RC‑300 Series, and new Hard UV Ink, these solutions reflect Roland DG’s continued investment in scalable, application‑driven industrial printing.

A Strategic Expansion into the Industrial Market

“Industrial manufacturers are increasingly looking for ways to improve flexibility and responsiveness while maintaining quality and durability,” said Kevin Shigenoya, Executive Officer, New Business Office, Roland DG. “We’re strengthening our industrial portfolio later this year to help manufacturers address evolving production demands, enabling greater agility, responsiveness and application versatility as digital industrial printing continues to expand.”

By focusing on production flexibility, reduced set-up times and greater in-house control, Roland DG’s industrial solutions are positioned as enablers of mass customisation, decentralised production and more resilient supply chains.

Supporting the Shift from Analogue to Digital Industrial Production

Roland DG’s industrial solutions are designed to complement and extend existing production environments by introducing digital workflows where flexibility and speed are critical. Together, the IO-300, RC-300 Series and Hard UV Ink form a practical pathway for customers wanting to modernise decoration processes without compromising durability expectations.

The VersaObject IO-300, VersaObject RC-300 Series and Hard UV Ink are currently in the preview phase and will be showcased at FESPA 2026 (May 19th-22nd in Barcelona, Spain) and ProPak Asia 2026 (June 10th-13th in Bangkok, Thailand). General market availability is planned for the second half of 2026.
