Photo Direct has been appointed an authorised dealer for Roland DG wide-format printers.
Photo Direct customers will now have access to a broad range Roland DG printers and printer-cutters, including models which produce personalised wall paper, repositionable indoor or outdoor posters and point of sale, stickers, labels, decals, custom apparel, phone covers, backlit signs and window displays.
Roland DG printers are also capable of high-end fine art/photographic prints, with Australian photographer and designer Bob Armstrong bringing home a record 17 ‘Benny’ awards in the 2014 Printing Industry of America awards, using a 64-inch LEJ-640 hybrid UV flatbed printer.
‘Roland DG is a relative newcomer to photo industry circles but brings with it a wealth of success as reflected by its significant market share within the printing industry,’ said Tracy Lints, Photo Direct.
‘One of the key benefits we see for our customers is the Roland DG Care program. This innovative program offers a complete range of premium services and products including comprehensive warranties to assure the continuity of our customers’ business. It covers training, finance and recycling programs, as well as a number of Roland Creative Centres where customers can find inspiration for the wide and various applications possible with Roland.’
Photo Direct sees the printing and photo industries as converging at a rapid pace, ‘so this new relationship will ensure forward-looking retailers in the traditional photo space can immediately benefit from the value-added opportunities available from the Roland range of products and services.’
The Roland DG range offered by Photo Direct includes wide format printers from 64-inch down to 20-inch benchtop models.
‘Another highlight is that each Roland printer is supplied with its intuitive VersaWorks RIP software, with automatic free updates, as well as regular training courses so staff can get the most out of the investment a business has made,’ said Tracy.
