The Roland VersaSTUDIO BD-8 is a compact UV flatbed printer for customizing objects. It prints graphics and detailed text directly onto items such as phone covers, cosmetic cases, fashion accessories, sports memorabilia, gifts and bottles. It can also print UV DTF transfers to apply later, with no weeding required.
It prints on plastics, paper, leather and wood. With the onboard primer ink, it also prints on glass and metal. A white ink cartridge lets it print light colors on dark surfaces. UV Gloss ink adds raised, tactile texture and is used as the final adhesive layer for UV DTF transfers. UV Primer ink has a matte finish and improves ink bonding on smooth or non-porous surfaces like glass and metal.
The printer sits on a desk, and its media setup, ink loading and maintenance are all done from the front, so it can be placed against a wall. It has a full-cover design for UV light protection, a built-in fume extractor and GREENGUARD Gold certified inks. An automatic cleaning function cleans the surface of the printhead to remove impurities and debris. Roland DG Connect Designer software is included for setting up artwork, templates and jig layouts.
