The Roland VersaUV LEF-12i is a compact desktop UV flatbed printer. It prints directly onto flat items and three-dimensional objects up to 3.94 inches thick, such as pens, smartphone covers, golf balls, keyrings, USB drives, photo frames and giftware. It is small enough to fit in a studio, office, workshop or retail space.
It uses UV inks in CMYK, White and Gloss. White ink can be used as a spot color or as a flood behind CMYK on dark or clear materials. Gloss ink can be cured for a gloss or matte finish. Multiple layers of Gloss ink simulate embossing and 3D textures. The included VersaWorks Dual RIP software has 72 ready-to-use texture patterns.
The UV-LED lamp runs at low heat, so heat-sensitive materials can be printed. It switches on and off instantly and has an automatic low-power mode. An Automated Ink Circulation System keeps pigments from settling in the ink lines, which keeps ink density consistent on long runs. Proper ventilation is required during UV printing.
