Description

Make an impact with the NEW Roland VersaSTUDIO BY-20

The new Roland VersaSTUDIO BY-20 Desktop Direct-to-Film Printer will change the way you print. Direct-to-Film (DTF) printing is one of the newest technologies in the graphic arts & printing industries. Unlike direct-to-garment and sublimation printing, direct-to-film allows you to transfer your graphics on both light and dark fabrics, and in a wide variety of materials, including cotton, polyester, denim, nylon, rayon, and more.

Roland has embraced this technology and is making it more accessible for all. Reliability, efficiency, versatility, and productivity are all wrapped up in this compact and powerful printer. Couple that with an affordable starting price, and you have a printing innovation that’s reshaping the apparel market.

The Roland VersaSTUDIO BY-20 Desktop Direct-to-Film Printer comes complete with design and output software. Intuitive, and feature-filled, the software offers a variety of tools for creating graphics, managing output, and monitoring performance while also simplifying the workflow. Even those without printing experience can successfully produce high-quality graphics in little to no time.

Compact Size, Big Results

The compact design of the Roland VersaSTUDIO BY-20 Desktop Direct-to-Film Printer has a footprint that is 20% smaller than previous models, allowing it to fit on just about any desktop.
