Last month Roland Digital Group released a wide format machine that we guess was a good few months in the making and then a number of months in testing as well. The new Soljet III XC-540 MT with metallic ink.
The The fact that the machine was not launched at some big expo also says that the timing was off – whether it was production or testing delays – and the company needed to bring this machine to market quickly.

What came through very strongly was my inexperience in removing adhesive vinyl from surfaces, because if you look very closely you can actually see that i’m scraping the chromadeck in order to lift the edges of the vinyl. Now if that was someone’s vehicle, they would not be very happy with me.

Charnia kicked it off with how the company started and how far they’ve come. She ran through a number of slides (that could have been done better since they have access to an entire industry of creatives) that explained briefly the point she was talking about at the time. Then Dyelan went through the changes. The one I like the most is that their website will undergo an overhaul soon. The new one looks like a Wordpress or Joomla site. I love the fact that they’re building a site that plugs into the social tools available online. Dyelan proceeded to explain that the 2010 show will now become a “roadshow’ and will be hosted in Polokwane and Nelspruit as well.

So I walk into our new premises, and our Technical Assistant Norman is busy with test prints on our GCC Stellarjet 250UV. I go to have closer look and this is what I saw. Complete borderless printing. I mean printing right up to the edge, and no ink sprayed beyond the borders of the media. WOW !!

It is a PVC based, CAD-cut material that is cut on the same cutters that sign makers cut vinyl signs and is used mainly in the decorating and customising of sports apparel. This product has been adopted by sports organisations globally due to its opacity and the appearance its matt finish lends to garments decorated or cutomised with this product.

The Expert 24 is by far the best choice for beginners and provides sign makers with optimum speed to deliver projects on time, a superior quality mechanical device, solid reliability and the enablement to add unmatched value to sign-making endeavours.
As far as features go, it has dual port connectivity so the type of computer you have doesn’t really matter. It cuts at a speed of up to 400 mm per second to shorten the time it takes to get jobs done and has up to 250 grams of cutting force for handling any media thickness.

Do you need someone to breathe life into your drab, monochromatic walls at home.. the office.. the pub.. perhaps the country club even. Watch what this guy does to plain and simple walls.

n his new role Daniel will be responsile for training customers and owners of large format solvent and UV digital printers, cutting plotters and CNC routers. In addition he’ll oversee servicing, repairs and maintenance on all Sytech Supplies.

Earlier this year I stumbled on an American website with awesome LED technology. I got so busy with organising our going to Sign Africa 2009 that i completely forgot about it. I just found the website again. have a look at this mindblowing digital signage technology.

Now that the fresh stock is here and we’re still getting enquiries about the machine, we made an observation. A lot of people interested in the machine are into crafts, scrapbooking etc. Their most important question is always: “So where can I find templates for this cutter?”
