In the competitive world of printing, businesses are constantly on the lookout for innovative ways to stand out and diversify their offerings. One of the most exciting advancements in this space is UV print and cut technology, a game-changer that’s opening up new revenue streams and customer possibilities. With Roland DG’s cutting-edge UV print and cut machines, businesses can now offer new applications while building upon their existing equipments and expertise.
What is UV Print and Cut?
UV print and cut technology combines the capabilities of UV printing with cutting, all in one seamless process. Unlike traditional printing methods, UV printers use ultraviolet light to cure or dry the ink as it is printed. This results in vibrant, durable prints that adhere to a wide range of materials, from paper and plastic to metal, glass, and even wood. (For printing on rigid materials, a flatbed printer is required with a separate flatbed cutter.) The cutting feature on roll substrates allows precise contour cuts around printed designs, making it perfect for creating detailed and intricate shapes. Furthermore, adding cutting functionality creates an all-in-one print-cut workflow, reducing production time and labour costs too, maximising throughput and turnaround time for customer orders.

Unlocking New Revenue Opportunities
Investing in a UV print and cut machine from Roland DG can open up a wealth of new revenue opportunities. Here’s how:
Expand Your Product Range:
With UV print and cut technology, the possibilities are virtually endless. You can print on a vast array of flexible roll media, including vinyl, synthetic paper and canvas. This opens the door to creating a wide range of products, such as custom signage, promotional items, packaging prototypes, and more. The ability to cut intricate shapes and designs further enhances your creative potential, allowing you to offer unique, customized products that cater to niche markets.
Tap into High-Margin Markets:
Customization is a growing trend, and consumers are willing to pay a premium for personalized products. UV print and cut technology allows you to offer bespoke items, from personalized labels, decals, vehicle graphics, wall graphics, floor graphics and more. By tapping into this demand, you can command higher prices and increase your profit margins.
Short Runs and Prototyping:
Traditional printing methods often require large minimum orders, which can be a barrier for small businesses or those looking to test new products. UV print and cut machines are ideal for short runs and prototyping, allowing you to meet the needs of these customers without the high costs associated with traditional printing.
Reduce Lead Times:
The combination of printing and cutting in one machine streamlines the production process, reducing lead times and allowing you to deliver orders faster. This is a significant competitive advantage in today’s fast-paced market, where customers expect quick turnaround times.
Expand Your Customer Base
By offering a wider range of products and services, you can attract new customers and tap into new markets. For example, a business that previously specialized in vinyl signage can now offer new finishing services like creating raised textures and UV spot varnish ink printing. This method can be applied onto custom packaging, labels, promotional products, and more. The diversification not only increases your revenue potential but also helps to build long-term customer relationships by offering a one-stop solution for their printing needs.
