Industrial Flatbed, Cylindrical Printing, and Durable Ink Technologies Previewed as Part of Wider Industrial Market Expansion
IRVINE | California – June 2026 – Roland DG, the world’s leading provider of digital printing solutions, has signaled a strategic expansion into the global industrial decoration market with a preview of new industrial printing technologies planned for the second half of 2026. The announcement encompasses industrial flatbed and cylindrical printing systems alongside a new durable ink platform designed for demanding production environments.
Industrial Flatbed Printing: VersaObject IO-300
The VersaObject IO-300 is a B2-size class industrial UV flatbed inkjet printer designed to support high-mix, low-volume industrial production. Positioned as a bridge between analog and digital workflows, the IO-300 is engineered to enable rapid design changes and consistent output across substrates including plastics, metals, glass, and composites. Target applications include industrial parts decoration, nameplates, control panels, housings, and functional components.
Cylindrical Printing: VersaObject RC-300 Series
The VersaObject RC-300 and RC-300c are UV inkjet printers built for direct decoration of cylindrical and lightly tapered objects. The series addresses short runs, premium customization, and fast setup across bottles, containers, promotional items, and limited-edition packaging. The RC-300c variant supports printing on clear and translucent bottles without filling — a capability aimed at beverage brands and packaging specialists seeking digital alternatives to traditional decoration methods.
New Hard UV Ink
Roland DG is also developing a new Hard UV Ink engineered to meet the durability requirements traditionally handled by analog printing. Planned for compatibility with VersaObject systems and future industrial platforms, the ink is intended for industrial parts, electronic components, nameplates, and functional markings.
“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.”
The IO-300, RC-300 Series, and Hard UV Ink are currently in the preview phase. All three were showcased at FESPA 2026 in Barcelona and will also appear at ProPak Asia 2026 (June 10–13, Bangkok). General market availability is planned for the second half of 2026.
