LEC-540i

Let your Imagination Soar With Our NEW, Larger and Faster UV-LED Inkjet Printer/Cutter:

With its ability to print CMYK plus White and Clear ink for varnishing and embossing effects on a wide array of substrates, our VersaUV printer/cutters quickly revolutionized the packaging prototype and short-run label industries. Now, our 54″ model takes your creativity to an even larger scale. Our newest model further enhances your workflow by printing and contour cutting designs, producing folds and perforated cuts, and providing built-in support for rigid substrates all in just one device. In addition to packaging prototypes and labels, you can print and contour cut control panels and large, decorative graphics including fine art.

Roland’s Unique UV-LED Technology Expands Your Creative Reach:
The LEC-540 accepts media up to 1372mm wide for large-scale graphics that are highly customized. Create realistic packaging prototypes for your clients to review, or textured fine art posters that look and feel just like hand-painted art. Labels, decals, and even control panels are easy to produce, all from one device through one seamless workflow. Choose from vinyl, polyester film, synthetic paper, PET, banner, and even clay-coated newsback board (CCNB) and other rigid substrates* up to 1mm thick. An integrated crease tool allows you to crease cardboard for easy folding of packaging prototypes. You can also perforate the contours of your designs for easy removal of excess media.
For optimum results, built-in front and back tables support flawless feeding of thicker materials. Artistic print mode delivers 1440 x 1440 dpi resolution for uncompromising image quality. Add unique design elements with high-density white ink, or choose from our library of 72 pre-designed patterns and textures created by layers of ECO-UV Gloss ink.

New Larger UV-LED Lamps Provide Twice the Productivity:

The LEC-540 features new, larger LED lamps that increase the UV ink curing area and your productivity. As a result, the LEC-540 is twice as fast as the 30″ model in Standard CMYK print mode (720 x 1080). The LEC’s UV LED lamps reposition themselves automatically depending on the mode to allow high-speed printing while maintaining exceptional print quality.

This groundbreaking technology makes it easy to produce outstanding results on large customized items such as decorative window graphics printed with both white and clear inks for unique design elements and textures. You can even print directly on paper banners for trade show graphics that stand out from the rest.

Renowned Roland Print & CUt Technology and Powerful VersaWorks RIP Software:

The LEC-540 contour cuts or perforates materials up to 0.4mm thick* for easy removal of excess media. An advanced media take-up system collects printed and cut graphics for reliable unattended production. Roland VersaWorks is included and is built on the genuine Adobe® PostScript® 3™ engine for reliable quality print after print. VersaWorks features the Roland Texture System Library including 72 textures and patterns that can be produced by layering the LEC-540’s ECO-UV Gloss ink. VersaWorks automatically estimates the ink usage and print time for each graphic so you can accurately monitor your time and costs.

* For best results, professionals should test print LEC-330 graphics and cut on each substrate before production.

Advanced Ink Circulation System Dramatically Lowers Running Costs:

The LEC-540 comes with Roland’s unique, automated ink circulation system that prevents the pigment in white inks from settling. This system automatically reduces waste of white inks, lowers running costs, produces exceptional image quality, and ensures consistent white density throughout the longest production runs.
