New technology, innovative application ideas and informative seminars deliver another successful exhibition.

The Roland DG stand was busy throughout Sign + Digital 2016The Roland DG stand was busy throughout Sign + Digital 2016

With its central position, and five new machines on display at Sign & Digital 2016, its little wonder that the Roland DG UK stand turned out to be one of the highlights of the show. A combination of new technology, innovative application ideas and informative seminars all ensured that a record number of delegates took the time to visit the central stand.

Roland DG’s five new machines were the focus of its stand this year, so visitors had the chance to experience the next generation of print technology in person, covering a wide variety of markets. With the SOLJET EJ-640 and TrueVis VG Series being billed as offering the future of print and print & cut, the VersaUV LEF-300 and VersaUV LEJ-640FT covering the UV market for both promotional and wide format, and the Texart XT-640 demonstrating high quality dye-sublimation transfer printing to the textile market, it seems there was something on display for everyone.

Apart from the machines, attendees were drawn in by this year’s Scratch & Win prize draw. This offered visitors the chance to win a wide variety of exciting items; from caps and mugs through to the latest ECO-SOL MAX 3 inks. There was even the chance to win one of Roland DG’s latest machines; the SOLJET EJ-640 printer or TrueVIS VG-640 printer/cutter. The Grand Prize winner will be picked out by the show organisers and announced within one month of the show.

Demonstrations of the newly launched VersaUV LEJ-640FTDemonstrations of the newly launched VersaUV LEJ-640FTDarren Penny, Head of Sales at Roland DG (UK) Ltd, said:

“Sign & Digital UK 2016 has been our most successful show to date, with a fantastic buzz around the stand for the whole three days – no doubt thanks to the exciting array of new technology on display. The response to our Scratch & Win competition was also overwhelming, with an unprecedented amount of entries.”

Roland DG also populated its stand with several Roland Users; partners of Roland DG offering their unique perspective into what the company can offer customers, from the quality of the machines through to the excellence of the RolandCare services provided with RolandCare warranties. Included in the group was Pete Colman of Classic Print, Joe McNamara from the Renault Sport F1 team and James Cameron of Mission Motorsport.

Rob Goleniowski, Sales Support Manager, held open demonstrations on the TrueVIS VG-640 once a day throughout the show, giving attendees an overview of the machine’s capabilities and print quality. Mike Kryvoblocki, RolandCare Supervisor and Technical Trainer, also ran daily seminars providing existing machine owners with tips and tricks on how to maintain their eco-solvent wide format machines for longevity and maximum quality print.

Live demonstrations of the TrueVIS VG-640 by Rob Golienowski proved popular Live demonstrations of the TrueVIS VG-640 by Rob Golienowski proved popular Darren Penny summed up:

“It’s just as important to Roland DG to support our current users as it is to introduce new professionals to our products and services – and with the latest and greatest kit on display plus our RolandCare and Roland DG Academy staff on hand to explain the post-purchase support we provide, we have shown visitors the additional benefits of purchasing a Roland DG product.”
