All products are currently in the announcement phase, with availability planned for the second half of 2026, subject to final specifications. The VersaObject IO-300, VersaObject RC-300 Series, and Hard UV Ink are currently in the preview phase and will be showcased at FESPA 2026 (May 19-22 in Barcelona, Spain) and ProPak Asia 2026 (June 10-13 in Bangkok, Thailand).

“Industrial manufacturers are increasingly looking for ways to improve flexibility and responsiveness while maintaining quality and durability,” said Kevin Shigenoya, Executive Officer, New Business Office, Roland DG. “We’re strengthening our industrial portfolio later this year to help manufacturers address evolving production demands, enabling greater agility, responsiveness, and application versatility as digital industrial printing continues to expand.”

The VersaObject RC-300 and RC-300c LED UV inkjet printers are designed for direct decoration of cylindrical and lightly tapered objects. The series is intended to support short runs, premium customization, and fast set-up for applications such as bottles, containers, promotional items, and limited-edition packaging.

The RC-300c variant is specifically suited to printing on clear and translucent bottles without filling, supporting beverage brands, packaging specialists, and manufacturers seeking digital alternatives to traditional decoration methods.

Alongside the hardware preview, Roland DG is also announcing the development of a new Hard UV Ink, designed to meet industrial durability requirements traditionally addressed through analog printing. The ink is planned to be compatible with VersaObject systems and future industrial platforms, enabling durable output for industrial parts, electronic components, nameplates, and functional markings.
