Is this genuine Roland ink?
Yes. These are genuine Roland ECO-UV5 (EUV5) ink cartridges designed for compatible Roland UV printing systems.
Which printers are these ECO-UV5 inks compatible with?
These 220 cc ECO-UV5 cartridges are offered for the Roland VersaSTUDIO BD-8 and BD-12 desktop UV flatbed printers.
What is the difference between CMYK, White, Gloss, and Primer?
CMYK produces standard full-color graphics and images. White provides opacity on dark, colored, and transparent substrates and can be used as an underbase for CMYK. Gloss creates clear specialty finishes, textures, and dimensional effects. Primer helps improve ink adhesion on compatible difficult-to-print materials.
Why should I use genuine Roland ECO-UV5 ink?
Genuine Roland ink is formulated specifically for compatible Roland printing systems to support consistent print quality, curing, ink delivery, and printer performance. Using genuine Roland inks also helps maintain applicable manufacturer warranty coverage.
What does White ink do?
White ink can be printed independently or beneath CMYK graphics to provide opacity and improve color vibrancy on clear, dark, or colored materials.
What can I create with Gloss ink?
Gloss can be used for spot gloss, clear highlights, textures, patterns, simulated embossing, and dimensional effects that add visual and tactile interest to printed products.
When should I use Primer?
Primer can help improve adhesion on certain substrates that are more challenging for UV ink. Because material composition and surface treatments vary, test the substrate before beginning a production run.
Does ECO-UV5 ink dry immediately?
ECO-UV5 is UV-curable ink. Rather than air drying like conventional ink, it is rapidly cured by the printer's UV-LED system, allowing printed products to be handled shortly after printing.
Is Roland ECO-UV5 ink GREENGUARD Gold certified?
Yes. ECO-UV5 ink has GREENGUARD Gold certification for low chemical emissions, making it suitable for use in a wide range of indoor environments.
Can I use ECO-UV5 ink on any material?
No ink can be assumed to adhere equally well to every surface. ECO-UV5 supports a broad range of compatible materials, but adhesion can vary based on the substrate, coating, surface treatment, and application. Testing is recommended, and Primer may improve adhesion on certain materials.
