Hardware - Wide Format Print

Roland DG is delighted to announce launch of the Roland VersaEXPRESS RF-640 8 Colour eco-solvent printer, and confidently states that this game-changing device offers the widest colour gamut in its class for outdoor durable graphics.

Founded by Mr. Edouard Borney in 1880, Borney started off in textiles, moving on to flags and banners in the 1920s, and finally expanding into printed fabrics in the 1980s. BorneyUK was established in 1993 and celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, as well as 138 years of growth for the company as a whole.

Canon Solutions America, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Canon U.S.A., Inc. today announced that Spectrum Print Plus, a digital cut-sheet commercial print service provider located in Canton, Massachusetts, recently installed an Océ Colorado 1640 roll-to-roll wide-format printer in its quest to enter the wide-format market.

Cheltenham's Fatree5 installed two Roland printing systems three years ago after seeing an exciting niche market and has seen its business snowball ever since.

Micheal Hawes spent 18 years in the education sector but this summer turned the tables to receive training himself, in digital printing and vehicle wrapping. The result is Devil is in the Detail, a brand-new vehicle wrap and signage business running a Roland DG True-VIS VG-640 printer/cutter.
