Roland DG Expands into Industrial Digital Printing with New Portfolio

Roland DG signaled its intent to expand into the global industrial decoration market by previewing a new portfolio of industrial printing technologies. 

The expansion includes industrial flatbed and cylindrical printing systems as well as durable ink solutions reflects industry demand for innovative production methods that support on-demand, flexible, and highly customizable digital manufacturing.

The previewed range includes the VersaObject IO-300, an industrial UV flatbed inkjet printer; the VersaObject RC-300 Series of cylindrical UV printers; and a newly developed Hard UV Ink engineered for enhanced durability in demanding industrial applications. 

“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, enabling greater agility, responsiveness, and application versatility as digital industrial printing continues to expand.”

All products are currently in the announcement phase, with availability planned for the second half of 2026, subject to final specifications.

The New Portfolio

The VersaObject IO-300 is a B2-size class industrial UV flatbed inkjet printer planned to support high-mix, low-volume industrial production. Positioned as a bridge between analog and digital methods, the IO-300 is expected to enable rapid design changes and consistent output across a wide range of substrates, including plastics, metals, glass, and composites.

The VersaObject RC-300 and RC-300c LED UV inkjet printers are designed for direct decoration of cylindrical and lightly tapered objects. The series is intended to support short runs, customization, and fast set-up for applications such as bottles, containers, promotional items, and limited-edition packaging.

Alongside the hardware preview, Roland DG is also announcing the development of a new Hard UV Ink, designed to meet industrial durability requirements traditionally addressed through analog printing. The ink is planned to be compatible with VersaObject systems and future industrial platforms, enabling durable output for industrial parts, electronic components, nameplates, and functional markings.

The portfolio preview builds on Roland DG’s existing industrial capabilities. Together, the previewed solutions reflect Roland DG’s continued investment in scalable, application-driven industrial printing.
