Roland DGA launches new Semi-Gloss Canvas & View Thru Film

Wide-format digital imaging leader Roland DGA has announced the addition of two new media offerings to its product lineup – Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas (ESM-SGAC) and View Thru Adhesive Film (ESM-VTAF). The introduction of these premium products further expands the selection of high-quality media Roland DGA currently offers for a wide range of applications.

Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas images beautifully on eco-solvent, latex/resin, and UV ink platforms while also offering greater impact, versatility, and tear resistance than paper-based media, making it perfect for the “on demand” photographic reproduction market. The proprietary, permanent synthetic mounting adhesive makes it possible to apply canvas images almost anywhere, allowing for simple mounting to a multitude of surfaces without the stretcher bars or gasket framing traditional canvas/fabric prints typically require. Semi-Gloss Adhesive can also be applied quickly and easily to a variety of challenging flat wall, panel, and display surfaces, such as Ecor, HDF, Paper, Aluminum, Glass, Rigid PVC, Masonite Board, and Polycarbonate. Plus, the simplified adhesion process eliminates the wrinkles and frustration end users often experience when applying other adhesive vinyl media.

Designed for both residential and commercial use, Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas is perfect for producing wall murals, décor, signage, POP displays, especially as canvas art on rigid boards for temporary or permanent installations. Its semi-gloss canvas texture creates a highly professional graphic without the reflection or sheen produced by high-gloss media, resulting in output with a greater perceived value compared to vinyl prints.

In addition, this material can be rolled and shipped for installation resulting in reduced shipping costs. This flexibility also makes positioning and mounting a breeze. Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas is available in 20-inch and 30-inch widths offered in affordable 50-foot rolls. For production environments that require greater media width, a 60-inch wide, 100-foot roll size is available as well.

Also joining the Roland DGA media family is new View Thru Adhesive Film – a universally printable 80/20 perforated one-way vision media with removable adhesive that’s ideal for use on glass in offices, stores, medical facilities, schools, and other settings where privacy is important. This 6.5 mil PVC film allows for 80% of the media to be printed on, while the other 20% of the media, with its perforated 1.5 mm hole pattern, enables one-way, see-through security.

View-Thru Adhesive Film enables the end user to create the décor, retail messaging, and graphic imagery desired, while still maintaining a functional viewing window for those inside. Additionally, it helps protect interior furnishings from direct sunlight that can result in fading.

This media has a one-year shelf life and is offered in 20-inch wide/40-foot rolls, 30-inch wide/82-foot rolls, and 60-inch wide/82-foot rolls.

“We are excited about the addition of these great new products to our ever-growing media family,” said Roland DGA’s Media Product Manager, Dave Hawkes. “At Roland DGA, we pride ourselves on supplying print professionals with not only the best digital printing devices on the market, but also an extensive lineup of top-quality consumables – including media and inks – to suit their specific needs.”

Both Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas and View Thru Adhesive Film are available now and can be purchased through Roland DGA’s dealer channel partners.
