Product Description
LEF-20 advanced features
The LEF-20 fits on a studio, office, or workshop benchtop and is Roland DG’s most advanced compact flatbed option. It offers the following features that make it the most versatile of flatbed printers in its class:
- Advanced UV-LED curing system to expedite production with two times faster Clear ink and CMYK ink printing
- An intuitive distance print mode to ensure brilliant print consistency on irregular and curved objects
- Up to 20 job presets to instantly allow the recall of specific media settings for your most popular applications
- New height sensor bar made with non-magnetic material for printing on magnetic items such as iPad covers
ECO-UV ink is offered in CMYK, White and Clear, while ECO-UV S in CMYK and White. It instantly dries and produces wide color gamut results with sharp detail and rich color density. ECO-UV requires no degassing and stretches up to 220 percent around curves and irregular surfaces without cracking. ECO-UV inks are extremely durable, giving indoor graphics scratch and chemical resistance, while outdoor graphics last up to six months and upward of two years when a Clear Coat ink layer is applied as a finish. ECO-UV ink is supplied in mess-free 220ml cartridges that are safe after curing. Proper ventilation is required during Eco-UV production and an optional BOFA Air Filtration Unit that was created for use with Roland DG devices is available to virtually eliminate odor and to act as a stand and storage unit for jigs, fixtures and supplies.

Energy efficient and ozone free
The LEF Series of printers simply plug-in to a standard electrical outlet. Using a fraction of the power that other flatbed printers demand, an LEF offers significant savings on electrical costs per year. The LEF Series uses LED lamps for UV-curing that last up to ten times longer than conventional UV lamps and can be instantly switched on or off, giving the user a true on-demand production without the typical warm-up time. In addition, the LEF automatically enters a low-power mode when it is not used for an extended period of time. The LEF’s Roland Eco-label represents environmentally conscious printing. By providing a light source that is entirely ozone free and emitting light in the range known as Near-UV of the UV spectrum, it offers a safe alternative to conventional UV lamps.
