IRVINE, CA, Apr 22, 2025 – Roland DGA Corp. has announced the launch of V-BOND UV ink formulated for use with Roland DG VersaOBJECT MO Series UV flatbed printers. V-BOND continues to be a widely used ink for Roland DG’s VersaOBJECT CO-i Series large-format UV flatbeds, however, the availability of this ink for the MO Series opens up creative opportunities for users of benchtop UV printers like the MO-240 and new MO-180.
V-BOND ink is used for a range of printing applications, including indoor and outdoor signage, product customization, and personalized items. It is compatible with coroplast and can be used with MO Series or CO-i Series flatbed printers. The ink cures under UV light and is designed to produce graphics that are resistant to scratching and suitable for direct printing on various substrates and three-dimensional objects. V-BOND ink is nickel-free, CPSIA certified, and compliant with California Proposition 65. This allows it to be considered for use on products such as children’s toys, lunch boxes, school supplies, pet supplies and food packaging. It is also suitable for the production of enhancing electronics, promotional items, awards, giftware and other items that require detailed graphics or text.
Available in CMYK, gloss, and white, V-BOND ink is formulated for use with VersaOBJECT UV flatbed printers. When used with Roland DG’s VersaWorks RIP software, the CMYK inks work with rich color profiles to support the reproduction of a vibrant colors, including reds, skin tones, and grayscale. Gloss and white inks can be used to create textured effects, depending on the printer settings and substrate.
“Our VersaOBJECT benchtop and large-format UV flatbed printers can print directly on virtually any material or item with speed and precision, making them unbeatable for direct-to-object printing applications,” said Roland DGA’s UV printer product manager, Philip Chu. “Their compatibility with CPSIA/Toy Safety compliant V-BOND ink makes these advanced, easy-to-use machines even more versatile, significantly expanding the creative possibilities for users.”
VersaOBJECT MO Series models include the MO-240, a highly productive benchtop UV flatbed with a 24” x 18” print area that direct-prints on substrates up to eight inches (203 mm) thick, and the new MO-180, which has an 18” x 12” print area and offers the same features and capabilities as the MO-240 in a compact package. VersaOBJECT CO-i Series large-format UV flatbeds include the 30-inch CO-300i-F2 and the 64-inch CO-640i, both of which can print on objects up to 9.5 inches (242 mm) thick.
