01 / Graphics production
From artwork to a finished graphic.
Create decals, posters, banners, window graphics, and printable heat-transfer designs using the right media for the job.
Featured / TrueVIS VG4
Room for bigger ideas.
Control over your color.
VG4 combines eco-solvent printing and contour cutting with TR3 ink configurations. Select the color set that matches your work; white and expanded-color options depend on the configuration.
- VG4-540: up to 1,346 mm print/cut width.
- VG4-640: up to 1,600 mm print/cut width.
- Integrated take-up and 7-inch touchscreen.
BN2-30
Compact eco-solvent print/cut for labels, decals, and printable heat-transfer media.
- 30-inch media capacity; up to 736 mm print/cut width.
- CMYK or CMYK + white configurations.
- Apparel applications use compatible transfer media and a heat press.
TrueVIS SG3
A CMYK eco-solvent workflow for everyday roll-fed graphics.
- TEC lists SG3-300 and SG3-540 with take-up units.
- SG3-300: up to 736 mm print/cut width.
- SG3-540: up to 1,346 mm print/cut width.
02 / Apparel transfers
Put your design
into everyday wear.
TY-300 direct-to-film printing for garment and textile customization.
Print artwork onto transfer film, apply hot-melt powder, cure the transfer, and heat-press it onto the garment. This is a separate workflow from printing and cutting heat-transfer vinyl.
Print
Artwork onto DTF film.
Powder & cure
Prepare the adhesive layer.
Heat press
Transfer to the garment.
Ask TEC to confirm the printer version, compatible consumables, curing equipment, heat press, and workspace requirements for your complete setup.
03 / Direct-to-object printing
Make the product personal.
Add color and artwork to compatible gifts, promotional items, prototypes, and product surfaces.
VersaSTUDIO BD-8
Desktop UV printing for smaller items and short-run customization.
- Maximum print area: 210 × 148 mm.
- Objects up to 102 mm thick, subject to clearance and setup.
- CMYK + white, with primer or gloss configuration.
VersaOBJECT MO-240
A larger benchtop UV platform for object customization and batch layouts.
- Maximum print area: 610 × 458 mm.
- Objects up to 204 mm thick, subject to clearance and setup.
- Ink, fixture, and rotary requirements depend on the application.
04 / Cut vinyl and lettering
Clean cuts.
Clear communication.
GS2-24 for cut lettering, decals, labels, and compatible heat-transfer vinyl.
Use colored material for single-color designs, or cut compatible graphics printed by a separate printer using registration marks. GS2-24 is a cutter and does not print ink.
- Maximum cutting width: 584 mm.
- Accepts media 50–700 mm wide.
- Up to 850 mm/s cutting speed and 500 gf instantaneous blade force; settings depend on material.
05 / Subtractive fabrication
Design it. Machine it. Test it.
Explore CNC toolpaths and physical prototypes in suitable plastics, modeling wax, and other supported materials.
monoFab SRM-20
A compact enclosed mill for an introduction to subtractive fabrication.
- XYZ travel: 203.2 × 152.4 × 60.5 mm.
- Applications include small models and supported PCB workflows.
- Match tooling, workholding, and toolpaths to the material.
MODELA MDX-50
A larger benchtop mill for multi-tool prototypes and more involved machining projects.
- XYZ travel: 400 × 305 × 135 mm.
- Automatic tool changer with five positions.
- Optional rotary hardware requires a separate configuration.
XYZ travel is machine-axis movement, not a guarantee of usable part size. Fixtures, tool length, and workholding reduce the available envelope. These models are intended for supported non-metal materials.
Additional catalog options
UV print/cut on roll media.
TEC also lists LG-300, MG-300, and MG-640 for UV roll-fed graphics. Roland currently classifies these models as legacy products. Ask TEC to confirm availability, configuration, and alternatives before selecting one for a new installation.
LG-300
UV-LED printing and integrated contour cutting on compatible roll media.
MG-300
UV-LED printing and integrated contour cutting on compatible roll media.
MG-640
UV-LED printing and integrated contour cutting on compatible roll media.
