Print Directly on Products Up to 4 Inches Thick

Print on compatible rigid and three-dimensional objects up to 4 in (102 mm) thick and weighing up to 6.6 lb (3 kg).

The additional object clearance expands the types of products you can bring in-house, from acrylic blocks, plaques and packaging to promotional products, décor and other dimensional objects.

CMYK + White + Gloss or Primer

The BD-8 uses Roland ECO-UV5 (EUV5) 220 ml inks in CMYK + White with either Gloss or Primer, depending on the selected ink configuration.

CMYK produces vibrant full-color graphics, photographs, logos, text, and variable-data designs.

White provides opacity on clear, dark, and colored substrates and can be layered beneath CMYK to help colors stand out.

Gloss creates clear spot finishes, high-gloss or matte effects, textures, and dimensional details. Multiple layers of clear or white ink can also be used to create tactile effects.

Primer helps improve adhesion on compatible difficult-to-print substrates, including certain glass and metal applications.

Built-In Fume Extraction and Full Enclosure

The BD-8 combines a full-cover enclosure with built-in fume extraction, helping contain UV light and manage fumes generated during printing. The fume extraction system is integrated into the printer, eliminating the need for a separate secondary system in typical applications.

Roland ECO-UV5 inks are also GREENGUARD Gold certified, an important consideration for businesses, retail environments, offices, and educational settings where low chemical emissions are a priority.

UV DTF Transfer Capable

The BD-8 can also support UV DTF transfer production, extending customization to products that are curved, irregularly shaped, textured, or otherwise difficult to position directly on the flatbed.

This gives businesses two complementary workflows from one UV platform: print directly onto compatible objects or create transfers for products better suited to UV DTF application. Roland specifically identifies UV DTF capability as one of the BD-12's core selling points.

Optional Rotary Printing

Expand beyond flat products with the optional OA-RA-8 Rotary Accessory for compatible cylindrical objects.

The rotary option gives businesses another way to expand their product offering into bottles, drinkware, containers, and other compatible cylindrical products without purchasing a separate printer.

Buying your first UV printer is about more than choosing a machine. The products you want to print, substrate composition, adhesion, ink configuration, product positioning, fixtures, and expected production volume all affect the right solution.

LogoJET helps you build the workflow around what you want to produce.

Application & Substrate Guidance: LogoJET can help evaluate your intended products, including substrate compatibility, adhesion requirements, White ink, Primer, print positioning, and recommended workflows.

Custom Trays & Fixtures: For repeat products and multi-up production, LogoJET can help develop trays and fixtures that improve positioning, consistency, and operator efficiency.

Installation & Operator Training: Get your BD-8 set up correctly and learn the workflows needed to move from installation to production confidently.

Expert Technical Support: Access LogoJET's direct-to-object printing expertise and technical support as your applications and production needs evolve. Roland's training material specifically positions the combination of Roland reliability and LogoJET support as a key advantage of the BD Series.

Genuine Roland Consumables & Accessories: LogoJET supplies genuine Roland ECO-UV5 inks, cleaning supplies, filters, accessories, and other consumables for the BD-8.

A Path to Scale: Start with the compact BD-8 for smaller products and lower-volume production, then move into larger-bed and higher-production direct-to-object solutions as your business grows. Roland itself positions the BD-8 as the entry point and the BD-12 as the next step into everyday small-batch production.
