Features
Print Directly on a Wide Range of Materials
Unlike other inkjet printers, the LEF2 series employs UV-LED lamps to instantly cure ink on the surface of material with UV light, allowing you to print directly onto PVC and plastics, canvas, wood, leather, fabric, and more. Now the addition of Primer ink opens up the possibility of printing on an even wider variety of materials.
* For best primer results, it is strongly recommended that users test for adhesion on specific substrates prior to final production.
True-to-Life Prints Created by Exceptional Image Quality and Special Effects
With the VersaUV LEF2 series, you can produce photos, graphics and finely-detailed text with unmatched print quality. In addition, the LEF2 series enables printing amazingly lifelike textures and simulated 3D embossing as well as gloss and matte finishes by overprinting multiple layers of Clear ink and changing the timing of UV light irradiation.
In addition to CMYK and Clear inks, White ink is also available to ensure that colors pop on dark or clear substrates.
From Hard to Soft Materials and From Flat to Curved Objects
Capable of stretching around the most complex corners and curves as well as printing on soft materials such as leather and fabric, advanced Roland ECO-UV ink formulations are designed for both flexibility and beautiful imaging. Materials up to 100 mm (3.94 in.) thick can be loaded, and a height tolerance of 2mm facilitates printing on irregular and curved objects. The VersaUV LEF2 series also supports an optional rotary axis jig for printing onto bottles and other cylindrical objects.
With the LEF2 series, you can print several items or as few as one at a time on demand. This important feature gives you the versatility to create prototypes, check the finish of a printed image, produce a special one-of-a-kind gift, or print a small volume of items in-house.
High Quality Output, Performed Easily and Efficiently
The LEF2 series incorporates a host of advanced functions to simplify high quality print jobs. A Start Timer Function completes setup procedures for printhead cleaning and white ink circulation automatically by your designated start time, so you can begin printing immediately after loading the materials. A positioning jig makes it easy to align items on the print table.
More Efficient Reprinting
The LEF2 series adopts a “the Multiple Print function” that can perform continuous printing efficiently. Previously, when printing the same data continuously, it was necessary to send print data from the included software each time when loading materials. Now with the Multiple Print function, you can perform the next print just by pressing the start button on the machine without returning to the software.
Monitor Operation Status in Real Time
“Roland DG Printer Status Monitor” supports smart printing operations so you can instantly check the operation status of multiple printers, including printing, waiting, and emergency stop errors on a monitor.
Supported models: VersaUV LEF / LEF2 series
High Reliability and Safety
The LEF2 series adopts a new cleaning system for improved operation and reliability. A Head Refresh feature removes any ink remaining on the printheads and cleans the printhead surface to maintain the health of your printer.
An airtight cover protects operators from UV light and prevents dust from settling onto the surface of materials while printing. The LEF2 series UV printers require no special electrical requirements, are simple to operate and run safe, clean and cool.
Expand Your Print Business with Our Laser Engraver
With the addition of our Laser Engraver LV-290/180, you can easily cut or engrave UV-printed plastic sheets. The breadth of applications you can produce can be greatly expanded to realize a highly profitable printing business.
Intuitive VersaWorks 6 Ensures Efficient Production
The LEF2 series includes the latest VersaWorks 6 RIP & Print management software equipped with a user-friendly menu of functions to maximize performance so that high-quality printing can be performed immediately after installation. You can automatically generate White, Clear (gloss) and Primer ink layers directly in the RIP software. The Color Matching function ensures consistent color between multiple same-model printers so you can produce reliable, high-volume work.*
* Valid only when using the same model printers with the same ink type and configuration. Files must be printed with the same print settings including “Media Type” and “Print Quality.”
