Roland DGA Rolls Out New S-PG2 Ink for VersaSTUDIO BY-20

Roland DG Americas, a leading provider of wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters, has announced new ink and functionality enhancements for the Roland DG VersaSTUDIO BY-20 desktop DTF (Direct-to-Film) printer that create additional capabilities and potential for users.

Developed exclusively for DTF applications, S-PG2 inks, which replace Roland DG’s original S-PG inks, deliver higher image quality, better durability, and greater stability throughout the print process, while new maintenance and software upgrades increase reliability, ease of use and convenience. These improvements expand the printer’s appeal to startups, home-based businesses, and even screen printers looking for an efficient way to handle short-run jobs profitably.

The BY-20’s new S-PG2 inks offer increased White ink density and improved ink laydown, allowing for increased vibrancy and higher opacity with fewer passes. They also contribute to stable performance by reducing clogs and improving ink flow across the full production cycle. S-PG2 inks dry faster than the previous formulations as well, which helps improve DTF powder adhesion and improve the wash durability of BY-20-produced output. In addition, the new inks and firmware are optimized for the BY-20’s print modes, unlocking greater consistency and more automation when paired with powder/shaker systems.

Users will also appreciate the benefits of the BY-20’s newly available Cleaning Liquid and Head Nozzle Refresher, which make manual cleaning of the printheads easier than ever. Together these enhancements help prevent clogging and extend nozzle life, for less maintenance and greater reliability.

A new Auto White Layer Generation feature in Roland DG’s recently released VersaWorks 7 RIP software, included with the BY-20, also enhances ease of use and convenience. This functionality saves time and effort when creating White ink layers (often used in DTF printing), which previously required the use of separate design software. The Auto White Layer Generation feature is helpful for new users or volume workflows, as it simplifies file setup and reduces prepress time.
