State-of-the-Art Ink Printing
Print graphics with smooth colour and exceptional detail on a virtually limitless range of merchandise, materials and products.
- CMYK, White and Gloss ECO-UV inks offer stunning results.
- ECO-UVinks are engineered for use on all applications— you don’t need to purchase multiple ink sets for different media use.
- Create colours that pop on dark or clear substrates with White ink that acts as a spot colour.
- Optional Primer ink enables you to prep the surface of materials like acrylic and plastic for full-color customisation.*
- An Automated Ink Circulation System stops ink pigments from settling in the ink lines for even consistency.
- Mist Filters catch the surplus ink that mists off the edges of your media to avoid overspray and keep ink from falling on internal components.
* For optimum primer results, it’s highly recommended that users test for adhesion to media items before final production
A Choice of Productivity and Printing Areas
The LEF2 lineup includes two models with different work sizes and printing speeds. Choose the one that best suits your work volume and the size of the material you wish to print.
The LEF2 series incorporates a host of advanced functions to simplify high quality print jobs.
A Start Timer Function completes setup procedures for printhead cleaning and white ink circulation automatically by your designated start time, so you can begin printing immediately after loading the materials. A positioning jig makes it easy to align items on the print table.
The LEF2 series adopts a Multiple Print function that can perform continuous printing efficiently. Previously, when printing the same data continuously, it was necessary to send print data from the included software each time when loading materials. Now with the the Multiple Print function, you can perform the next print just by pressing the start button on the machine without returning to the software.
"Roland DG Printer Status Monitor" supports smart printing operations so you can instantly check the operation status of multiple printers, including printing, waiting, and emergency stop errors on a monitor. You can manage your entire printing operation remotely, allowing you to set up your next production process without wasting time.
Supported models: VersaUV LEF / LEF2 series
High Reliability and Safety
The LEF2 series adopts a new cleaning system for improved operation and reliability. A Head Refresh feature removes any ink remaining on the print heads and cleans the print head surface to maintain the health of your printer.
Should a print head clog, a new Nozzle Mask function allows you to continue printing while using the remaining part of the print head. An airtight cover protects operators from UV light and prevents dust from settling onto the surface of materials while printing. The LEF2 series UV printers require no special electrical requirements, are simple to operate and run safe, clean and cool.

This device is capable of printing on a wide variety of substrates. However, the print quality or the ink adhesion may vary according to the substrate used and it is strongly recommended to test the substrate for compatibility to ensure optimal print results.
Vaporized components may slightly irritate the eyes, nose and/or throat during and following printing with this product. If continuously printing in a closed space, the density of volatile compositions will accumulate and may irritate the eyes, nose and /or throat. Roland DG strongly recommends that you install a ventilation system and use this product in a well-ventilated room. For more information, please contact your local distributor or dealer.
