Product Description

Introducing the Roland Verstastudio BD12 UV Printer

The newVersaSTUDIO BD-12 Flatbed UV Printer meets the growing demand for personalized and custom designed products. Many Retailer and SOHO (Small Office, Home Office) environments have the need to provide one-of-a-kind goods and services to increase their value. The BD-12 is the perfect solution for those businesses that require a cost-effective, reliable, and easy-to-usedesktop option that can easily provide branding and endless unique decoration options to almost any object.

While there are competitors in this space, such as the Epson v1050 and Eufymake E1, there is a gap in the market for an easy-to-use, intuitive desktop UV printer that has the printing bed size and speed needed for effective small-lot production. The new VersaSTUDIO BD-12 fills that gap.

Offering greater versatility and production capability than the BD8, tried and tested EUV5 inks, and compatibility with either a Mac or PC using VersaWorks 7, the BD-12's intuitive workflow, efficiency, and familiar operation minimizes training time and maximizes productivity for users from day one.

VersaSTUDIO BD-12 is a desktop UV flatbed designed for new users with little to no UV printing experience. This device offers high print speed, low operating costs, exceptional color, and easyto-use software right out of the box, allowing customers to see a return on investment sooner, not later.
