Clear Support Capabilities

The RC-300c is specifically configured for printing on transparent and translucent bottles without requiring blackout filling. This allows businesses to decorate clear packaging while maintaining product visibility.

Its ability to print on certain filled and previously labeled containers also provides additional flexibility for post-production customization and specialty packaging applications.

Material adhesion and print performance may vary depending on surface coatings, substrate composition, and object geometry. Testing is recommended before production.

The VersaOBJECT RC-300c Clear Support replaces the limitations of add-on rotary printing with a dedicated cylindrical UV production system engineered to support transparent, translucent and liquid-filled containers. Helical 360° printing, industrial Gen 6 printheads, intelligent surface compensation and a motor-controlled object handling system combine to produce precise, repeatable graphics across a wide variety of clear and cylindrical products.

With high-opacity White, Gloss and onboard Primer, support for objects up to 5" in diameter, 50 stored product presets and a complete Roland DG software workflow, the RC-300c gives beverage producers, product decorators, print providers and manufacturers a versatile platform for producing premium bottles, personalized products, prototypes and efficient short-run cylindrical production—including applications where clear or filled containers are required.

What is the difference between the Roland RC-300 and RC-300c?

The RC-300 is designed for general cylindrical, tapered, and curved-profile printing. The RC-300c Clear Support includes specialized capabilities for printing on transparent, translucent, and liquid-filled bottles without requiring blackout filling. Both models share the same core printing technology and general object-handling capabilities.

Can the RC-300c print directly on clear glass bottles?

Yes. The RC-300c is specifically designed for direct printing on transparent and translucent bottles, including clear glass containers. Its Clear Support configuration enables high-quality graphics without requiring the bottle to be filled with an opaque material.

Can the RC-300c print on bottles that already contain liquid?

Yes. The RC-300c supports printing on certain liquid-filled bottles, making it particularly useful for wineries, distilleries, beverage manufacturers, and businesses that customize finished products.

Can the RC-300c print on empty transparent bottles?

Yes. The RC-300c supports both empty and filled transparent bottles, providing flexibility for packaging manufacturers and product decorators.

Does the RC-300c support full 360-degree printing?

Yes. The RC-300c uses advanced helical printing technology to produce continuous, seamless graphics around cylindrical objects. This eliminates the need to print designs in separate sections.

Can the RC-300c print on tapered bottles?

Yes. The printer supports tapered objects with angles up to 10°. It can also accommodate certain concave and convex surfaces, expanding its capabilities beyond standard straight-sided cylinders.

What materials can the RC-300c print on?

The RC-300c supports a variety of materials, including glass, PET, rigid plastics, aluminum, and steel. Its printable primer helps improve adhesion on certain surfaces. Material testing is recommended to confirm compatibility.

What inks does the RC-300c use?

The RC-300c uses Roland ECO-UV EUV-HB hard UV inks in Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black, White, Gloss, and Primer. These inks support vibrant colors, durable graphics, decorative effects, and improved adhesion on compatible substrates.

Can the RC-300c print white ink on transparent bottles?

Yes. The RC-300c features high-opacity white ink, allowing businesses to produce vibrant graphics and opaque design elements on clear and translucent containers.

Can the RC-300c create textured or raised printing effects?

Yes. The printer's Gloss ink capabilities allow for decorative surface effects, including selective highlights and subtle raised textures that enhance premium packaging and personalized products.

Can the RC-300c print on previously labeled bottles?

Yes. The RC-300c supports certain post-production decoration applications, including adding customized graphics to previously labeled or preprinted bottles. Compatibility depends on the existing label or coating.

What is the maximum object size supported by the RC-300c?

The RC-300c supports objects measuring 1.78" to 5" in diameter and up to 13.9" in overall length. The maximum printable length is 11.8", and the maximum supported object weight is 6.6 lb.

What software does the RC-300c use?

The RC-300c uses Roland VersaWorks 7 RIP software for print preparation, color management, and production workflows. Roland DG Connect provides additional printer monitoring and management capabilities.

Is the RC-300c suitable for short-run production?

Yes. The RC-300c is designed for short-run production, premium customization, prototyping, and limited-edition products. Digital printing eliminates many of the setup requirements associated with traditional decoration methods.

Who sells and supports the Roland RC-300c?

The Roland VersaObject RC-300c Clear Support UV Cylindrical Printer is sold and supported by LogoJET, providing customers with a knowledgeable resource for their cylindrical UV printing needs.
