Roland DG Unveils Industrial UV Printing Solutions to Enhance Manufacturing Operations

In September 2026, Roland DG unveiled the VersaObject IO-300 and VersaObject RC-300 Series, which are new industrial UV printing solutions that have been developed to assist enterprises in catering to the rising demand for high-mix, short-run production and product decoration. The IO-300 enables highly precise UV flatbed printing for industrial components, product decoration, and custom commodities across rigid substrates.

The RC-300 Series allows direct cylindrical printing on bottles, tumblers, drinkware, packaging, marketing products, etc. The launch of these solutions increases the presence of Roland DG in the direct-to-object printing segment. It provides producers, decorators, and printing service providers with new alternatives to develop personalized goods, cater to the needs of customers quickly, and decrease the expenditures and intricacies that come with conventional manufacturing workflows.

According to Kevin Shigenoya, Executive Officer, New Business Office, Roland DG, modern enterprises need manufacturing solutions that are flexible enough to adapt to dynamic demands of the customers while maintaining the quality of the final product and profit margins. He said that the IO-300 and RC-300 Series have been developed to be utilized in different manufacturing settings and applications.

VersaObject IO-300: This solution is intended to be used for industrial components decoration, product personalization, and applications where precision, repeatability, and reliability are of utmost importance. It comes with advanced printheads, next-generation dot control, and the latest UV ink technology developed by the company.

VersaObject RC-300: This series consists of 2 helical UV printers, the RC-300 and the RC-300c, which facilitate direct-to-object printing for various cylindrical and tapered products. It has the capability to print top-end graphics directly on bottles, tumblers, drinkware, cans, and marketing and consumer products, and can be used on convex as well as concave surfaces.

Impact on the Machinery and Equipment Industry

According to Precedence Research, the launch of the VersaObject IO-300 and VersaObject RC-300 Series is expected to modernize the machinery and equipment industry. UV printing has been a groundbreaking transformation in industry-grade printing, as it has increased the pace, ease, and affordability of sophisticated printing on hard surfaces with variable geometries. A UV printer sprays ink on the hard surface and dries it out almost instantly by using UV light that is emitted from LED lamps fitted onto the printer. It does not require evaporation or absorption for curing, and the instantaneous drying leads to extremely low spatial deviation of ink on the surface. This enables manufacturers to print intricate designs precisely on hard surfaces with random geometries.

Impact on the UV Curing System Market

The global UV curing system market size accounted for USD 3.00 billion in 2025 and is predicted to increase from USD 3.21 billion in 2026 to approximately USD 5.90 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 7.00% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the introduction of the VersaObject IO-300 and VersaObject RC-300 Series is expected to boost the UV curing system market. These solutions use next-generation UV curing technology to instantly harden or cure the ink on the hard surface.

UV curing is used to print, coat, decorate, in stereolithography, and in assembling various materials. This technology is being widely adopted in the manufacturing sector as it provides various advantages such as precision printing, a decrease in the time required for production, and it also enables high-gloss and matte finishes due to enhanced surface control. 

Impact on the Print On Demand Market

The global print on demand market size is accounted for USD 12.96 billion in 2025, and is expected to reach around USD 118.85 billion by 2035, expanding at a CAGR of 24.81% from 2026 to 2035.

According to Precedence Research, the launch of the VersaObject IO-300 and VersaObject RC-300 Series is expected to positively impact the print on demand market. These solutions help manufacturers speed up their printing pipelines, as they enable instant curing and imprint sophisticated designs on curved surfaces. This helps them cater to the dynamic demands of modern consumers who need high-quality graphics on various surfaces. Customers today are increasingly asking for customized designs on various objects.
