Roland DG Corporation, worldwide provider of wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters, and GMG, developer and supplier of high-end colour management software solutions, have announced that the GMG printer driver for the UV-LED inkjet printer/cutter VersaUV LEC-330, which allows the fast creation of perfect mockups, is now available.
Working together, the Roland VersaUV LEC-330 and GMG colour management offer businesses in the packaging and labelling market – including printers, design agencies, advertising agencies, repro houses, and brand owners – ground-breaking solutions for prototyping, mockup and small lot production of packaging and labelling.
The VersaUV LEC-330 supports a wide variety of substrates including paper, paper compounds, transparent films, aluminum foils, PE and PET foils, plastic, polycarbonate and other rigid substrates which are used for offset, flexography, rotogravure and screen print production. High-opacity ECO-UV White ink is ideal for transparent media, allowing users to print brilliant colours on dark and transparent substrates. With the ECO-UV Clear ink, users can simulate gloss and matte finishes, embossed effects, and spot varnishing.
Providing unrivalled quality and repeatability, GMG colour management enables the VersaUV LEC-330 to achieve a visual match, locally and at remote locations, with the main print processes such as flexography, offset and gravure printing – even for spot colours. It ensures the highest repeatability by calibrating target printers within tight tolerances. Furthermore, the simulation of cardboard, paper structure and register variations is supported to achieve colour-accurate mockups with the VersaUV LEC-330.
Compared with traditional systems for mockup creation in the packaging and label market, the Roland/GMG solution produces highly accurate colour mockups at a fraction of current costs.
