Roland users are a proud bunch! (29/05/2012)
|
Roland DG’s “I’m a Roland user and proud of it” campaign has met with happy customers around the country and the first video testimonials live on Roland DG’s website
Proud Roland users Jayson Godridge, owner of Freestyle Designs, Bath, and Harry Walker of Pro-Tect Safety Signs, Weston-Super-Mare can be seen discussing the company’s market-leading technology and high levels of service at www.rolanddg.co.uk/iamproud.
Loud and proud
With a VersaCAMM SP-540i and Eco-Sol Max inks, Freestyle Designs is enjoying roaring success producing a wide range of signage, shop facades, vehicle graphics and full-colour printed graphics for almost any application.
Jayson invested in the machine three years ago and believes the quality is still as it was on day one. Even at the highest speed setting (7.8sqm/hr), the quality and solidness of the colours produced by the VersaCAMM are excellent, according to Jayson, who runs 95 per cent of his work at this speed.
“This machine stood out because we’re quite limited on space so one of the key things that sold it to me was the integrated print and cut,” said Jayson. “Everything is produced on one machine which makes it fast and efficient and cuts down on waste.”
“It was also very easy to use from the day the engineer came out to install it - within just four hours of installation we were producing work on it that was going out the door.”
Safety first!
Busy Pro-Tect Safety Signs prints an array of rigid and flexible signs on materials ranging from self-adhesives and banner material to reflective media, canvases and everything in between. Its four Roland SolJet XC-540s run almost constantly, producing hundreds of signs a day.
“It’s important for us to be able to produce high quality work, quickly and the Roland machines tick all the boxes,” said Harry. “They really are up to the challenge posed by the versatility of the work that comes in for us and the roll-up mechanism makes them very attractive. You can literally put a whole roll on the back and leave it to print straight through - unless there’s a problem with way the material is manufactured, the Roland won’t let you down.”
Roland cares
Both Freestyle Designs and Pro-Tect use Roland’s VersaWorks RIP software, which every Roland wide format printer comes equipped with as standard. The powerful VersaWorks is a core part of the Roland synergy – hardware, inks and RIP – which makes for easy to use yet powerful signmaking solutions. Updates to VersaWorks are made available for free download online so users always have the latest version.
Jayson’s VersaCAMM and all of Harry’s SolJet XC-540’s came with a 12 month Original Silver RolandCare warranty, which includes accidental print head damage, technical support and an engineer on-site within guaranteed response times along with all parts, labour and transport costs. After the 12 months, both extended their RolandCare warranties to ensure their guaranteed peace of mind, Harry after being let down by a third party warranty.
Harry concluded: “The service has been fantastic. It’s usually the same engineer that comes in every time and he even showed me some tricks on illustrator recently! Thanks to him we can now get the files from the computer to the machine with the correct spot colour, which is priceless.”
