The VersaCAMM™ SP-i series is the perfect print system for busy mixed production environments -the 30” and 54” models can be left unattended for long production runs and require virtually no operator maintenance. Combined with Roland’s proven Eco-Sol Max ink technology – a safe and virtually odourless ink specifically designed to dry rapidly, be highly scratch-resistant and deliver high density 3 year durability on both coated and uncoated materials – the VersaCAMM™ is ideal for a vast range of sign, display and graphic applications. With Roland Intelligent Pass Control® technology, the VersaCAMM SP-i series can produce superior image quality and 1.5 times the productivity of previous SP models in standard print mode and with the print time and ink usage calculation tools available in VersaWorks®, the software RIP developed by Roland for Roland machines to guarantee optimum performance and output, the VersaCAMM™ SP-i series becomes the ultimate business tool.

"the perfect print system for busy mixed

production environments"

The combination of printer and cutter in one machine means that not only do you save on floor space but you also save on energy consumption, maintenance, labour, and efficiency costs. Better registration and less chance of human error can result in such benefits as less media wastage. What’s more, operators will even be taught how to get the best out of their VersaCAMM™ SP-i model with a bespoke training at the Roland DG Academy.

VersaCAMM™ SP-540i - Return on Investment Example

Situation: Jack runs a VersaCAMM™ SP-540i with Eco-Sol Max ink for 4 hours a day. He produces his work at 720 x 720 dpi. This gives him an output of 4.8m² per hour. Jack’s assistant spends roughly 1 hour per day setting up and checking the machine.

Ink costs are calculated at a maximum of £1.94 per square metre for heavy ink coverage and media costs are estimated at £2.46 per square metre, so Jack sells his output for £30.00 per square metre.
