Roland DG is expanding the possibilities of direct-to-object printing with the VersaOBJECT IO-300 UV Flatbed Printer, a production-focused solution built for businesses that need greater precision, higher throughput, and repeatable results from their digital printing workflow.
Designed for industrial components, product decoration, parts marking, customized goods, and fixture-based manufacturing, the IO-300 combines a generous B2-size flatbed, industrial printheads, durable EUV-H UV inks, and an integrated Roland DG production workflow.
Built for Production, Not Just Customization
The VersaOBJECT IO-300 is designed to bridge the gap between traditional analog decoration methods and digital production. Businesses can quickly change artwork, produce shorter runs, customize individual products, and repeat jobs without preparing new screens or plates for every design.
A Production-Focused B2 UV Flatbed
At the center of the IO-300 is a 30.3 × 20.2-inch printable area capable of accommodating objects up to approximately 8 inches thick and 44 pounds. This gives print businesses and manufacturers the capacity to decorate a wide variety of rigid substrates, finished products, manufactured components, panels, cases, and dimensional objects.
An integrated vacuum table helps secure materials during printing, while media alignment pins simplify positioning and make accurate registration easier to repeat from one production run to the next.
For operations producing multiple pieces using fixtures or jigs, these features can help streamline setup while improving consistency across every printed item.
Industrial Print Quality with Higher Throughput
The IO-300 features newly developed, long-life industrial piezo printheads engineered for both production speed and precise output. Advanced dot control and UV-LED curing allow the printer to reproduce fine text, detailed graphics, smooth gradients, and accurate positioning at resolutions up to 1,800 dpi.
Production speeds reach up to 37.7 square feet per hour with CMYK and up to 34.4 square feet per hour with CMYK plus White, giving businesses the ability to increase throughput without giving up the detail required for premium and industrial applications.
Precision & Registration
Accurate positioning, alignment pins, and an integrated vacuum table help maintain repeatable registration across production runs.
Industrial Printheads
Long-life piezo printheads provide the fine detail, smooth gradients, and consistency required for demanding production environments.
Dimensional Printing
Print directly onto objects up to approximately 8 inches high, expanding production beyond traditional flat sheets and substrates.
On-Demand Production
Digital production makes design changes, prototypes, customization, and short-run jobs easier without traditional screen or plate preparation.
Introducing Roland DG EUV-H Hard UV Ink
The IO-300 uses Roland DG's EUV-H Hard UV Ink, developed for applications that require greater durability, resistance, and adhesion than conventional product decoration workflows may demand.
EUV-H provides strong abrasion and chemical resistance and improved adhesion to challenging rigid surfaces, including materials such as glass, metal, and acrylic. A dedicated primer option further expands compatibility with difficult substrates.
Available ink configurations include CMYK along with options for White, Gloss, and Primer. This allows businesses to produce white underbases, specialty finishes, textured effects, and detailed graphics while maintaining the durability required for functional and finished products.
What Can You Print with the VersaOBJECT IO-300?
The IO-300 is designed to serve both industrial production and premium product customization. Potential applications include:
- Industrial Components
- Control Panels
- Electrical Components
- Equipment Cases
- Product Housings
- Nameplates
- Premium Cosmetics
- Toys & Games
- Leather Goods
- Consumer Products
- Braille & Textured Prints
- Custom Promotional Products
Move from Analog to Digital Production
One of the biggest advantages of direct-to-object digital printing is the ability to respond quickly to changing production requirements.
Traditional processes such as screen printing and pad printing can require screens, plates, setup time, and additional production steps. The IO-300 gives businesses another option for short runs, prototypes, variable designs, and customized production where those setup requirements may not be economical.
Businesses can produce what they need when they need it, helping reduce finished-goods inventory, minimize waste, shorten lead times, and keep more production under their own control.
Designed for High-Mix, On-Demand Manufacturing
The IO-300 is particularly suited for businesses producing multiple product types, shorter production runs, customized designs, or frequently changing artwork. Digital direct-to-object printing gives operators greater flexibility to respond without rebuilding an entire analog production setup.
A Connected Roland DG Production Workflow
Hardware is only part of the IO-300 production system. Roland DG has also integrated the printer with its software ecosystem to simplify artwork preparation, printing, monitoring, and repeat production.
