Roland VersaOBJECT MO-240

The VersaOBJECT MO-240 is a comprehensive solution that enables anyone to easily print directly onto 3D objects made of a variety of materials. It is a UV printer, meaning it is a specialised printer that can print directly onto a wide range of materials including acrylic, wood, fabric, leather, etc. It is ideal for personalising a wide range of goods including pens, mobile phone cases, personalised awards, industrial goods, etc. Any business enterprise will soon re-coup the cost of the machine just by selling personalised mobile phone cases, for example.

The MO-240 is engineered to deliver high productivity with print speeds up to 1.2 times faster than comparable models from other brands. The staggered print head configuration, powerful lamps and increased bed-size deliver printing speeds of up to 2.07 m2/h in standard mode, letting you get more done. Denser white ink means you can print white twice as fast as previous models and Gloss ink can now be printed in thicker layers, doubling the speed.

The ECO-UV ink is renowned for its broad material compatibility and excellent adhesion. With just one ink formulation, you can print onto a variety of substrates, increasing your ability to adapt to changing market demands.

Key Features:

• Staggered Print Heads - Achieve faster printing speeds than ever before with our new large print heads in a staggered array to accelerate CMYK, white and special effects printing.
  
• UV Lamps - These newly developed UV curing lamps, three times more powerful than conventional lamps, cure and fix the ink in a shorter period of time, enabling increased productivity, whilst maintaining high definition printing.
  
• Vacuum Bed - The MO-240 comes with a vacuum bed as standard, which lets you print on a wider range of substrates including thinner, more flexible materials.
  
• 7" Touch Screen - Easily operate your MO-240 and access all the features you need with a clear 7" touch screen and intuitive user interface.

The printer delivers high-quality vibrant and impactful graphics onto a vast range of 3D objects and substrates, including metal, plastic, glass, wood, canvas, vinyl, paper and much more besides, accommodating material up to 204mm height.

The MO-240 uses ECO-UV Ink which is designed for flexibility so that it can stretch around complex corners and curves. The integrated UV-LED lamp instantly cures ink during printing. The lamp requires no warm-up time, making it efficient to use and cool to touch.

The printer features a protective cover to fully encase moving parts and prevent dust entering the print area. It also serves to protect the operator from UV light during operation. The long-life, low temperature UV-LED curing lamp is ozone free and is a safe alternative to conventional UV lamps. The ECO-UV ink is contained inside cartridges so the user never comes into direct contact with it before it has been cured. After curing, the ink is of course perfectly safe to touch.

Images can be designed in virtually any graphics package, though we would, of course, recommend TechSoft Design V3. The image is then transferred to the RIP software provided with the printer, ie., VersaWorks 6. The texture patterns, white base primer, etc., can be added to the design before outputting to the machine.
