The Roland VersaUV LEF-12i is a compact benchtop UV flatbed printer that prints directly onto objects and flat substrates. It is small enough to fit in a studio, office, workshop or retail space. It prints on three-dimensional items up to 3.94" thick, such as pens, smartphone covers, keyrings, golf balls, USB drives, photo frames and giftware.
It uses ECO-UV ink 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 create embossed effects and 3D textures. The ink stretches around corners and curves without cracking.
The printer can print on PVC and plastics such as PET, ABS and polycarbonate. It also prints on soft materials such as TPU, leather and fabric, and on canvas, metal, glass and wood. Its low-heat UV-LED lamp suits heat-sensitive materials. The lamp lasts up to ten times longer than conventional UV lamps, switches on and off instantly, and enters an automatic low-power mode when idle. An automated ink circulation system keeps pigments from settling in the ink lines.
