New Roland UV Flatbed Inkjet Printer Streamlines Rigid-Media Jobs

Roland DG Corporation, a leading global provider of digital printing solutions, has announced the North American launch of the EU2-1000MF large-format UV flatbed printer. The EU2-1000MF enables efficient, direct-to-board printing of signs, retail displays, exhibits, and decorative interior panels in high-output environments.

Built for reliable operation with consistent print quality, the Roland EU2-1000MF is suitable for both established flatbed printer users and screen printers transitioning to digital production.

Reducing Workflow Complexity

Print businesses equipped only with a wide-format roll-to-printer must use adhesive-backed materials and a multi-step print, mount, and laminate workflow to fulfill orders for graphics on rigid or thick substrates such as foamboards, coroplast, or aluminum composite panels.

Using a flatbed printer with UV-curable inks enables them to skip the mounting and laminating steps and print directly on the presentation boards, sign blanks, or decorative panels.

“With the EU2-1000MF, we focused on helping print businesses simplify how rigid media work gets done,” said Ryugo Nimura, Executive Officer, Global Sales and Marketing Division, Roland DG. “By moving directly from file to finished board, users can reduce manual steps, improve consistency, and increase output – all while maintaining the stable, repeatable quality needed for daily production.”

The more predictable production workflow helps operators be more efficient and meet tighter turnaround times.

New High Definition Printhead

The EU2-1000MF accommodates a wide range of rigid substrates in sizes up to 48 in. x 96 in. (1,220 mm x 2,440 mm) and materials up to 3.74 in. (95 mm) thick.

The printer uses new, economical GREENGUARD Gold certified E-US UV inks in 4-color (CMYK) or 6-color (CMYKWhGl) configurations.

Built with a new high-definition printhead, the EU2-1000MF delivers approximately 1.5 times higher productivity than Roland’s previous EU-1000MF flatbed printer without sacrificing image quality. Pricing remains unchanged from Roland’s outgoing model.

A Complete Flatbed Production System

The EU2-1000MF is positioned as part of a complete production ecosystem. The system combines a UV flatbed printer optimized for rigid and thick materials with VersaWorks 7 modular print-management software, new E-US inks that deliver controlled running costs and stable performance, and Roland DG service and warranty support.

With VersaWorks 7 RIP software, even new hires in your print business can achieve high-quality, color-accurate, repeatable output.

The EU2-1000MF is available now in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America through authorized Roland DGA dealers.
