Roland RC-300 Features

Dedicated Helical Printing Technology

Rather than printing an object in multiple steps, the RC-300 grips and rotates the product while printing the graphic in a continuous spiral motion. This enables seamless 360° decoration and supports faster production across a variety of cylindrical shapes.

Fast Production

Designed for repeat production, the RC-300 can achieve a cycle time of under 60 seconds for White + CMYK, depending on the object and print conditions. Roland's dealer guide lists 46 seconds for CMYK and 57 seconds for White + CMYK under its specified test conditions.

Print More Than Straight Cylinders

The RC-300 isn't limited to perfectly straight bottles and tumblers. Its printing system supports parallel, tapered, convex and concave cylindrical objects, giving you greater freedom to work with different products and applications.

Roland DG Smart Jet Control

A built-in laser sensor measures the distance between the printhead and object, helping maintain consistent print quality across uneven surfaces.

The system supports height differences of up to 7 mm, excluding the 3 mm head gap, allowing smooth, sharp output across more complex cylindrical shapes.

Industrial-Grade GEN6 Printheads

Two new multi-channel GEN6 industrial printheads provide precise droplet control for detailed, vibrant and consistent output, while supporting Roland's high-viscosity EUV-H inks and Primer.

New EUV-H UV Ink

Roland's newly developed EUV-H ink has been created for industrial applications requiring increased durability.

The ink offers improved dry friction performance and solvent resistance, while Roland states wash durability of up to 125 cycles, depending on the print conditions and material.

CMYK + White + Gloss + Primer

Go beyond standard colour printing with White, Gloss and Primer alongside CMYK.

White allows you to work with a wider range of coloured and specialist objects, Gloss provides additional decorative possibilities, while the on-board jettable Primer can improve adhesion to materials including metal, glass and plastic.

Store Up to 50 Object Presets

Save the dimensions and settings for up to 50 different object types directly on the printer.

When a repeat job comes back, the table can automatically adjust to the stored base position and tilt, reducing the need for repeated alignment and helping speed up changeovers.

Jigs Included

The RC-300 is supplied with 10 jigs for common open-top objects, helping businesses get started with a range of popular cylindrical products without having to develop every jig from scratch.

7" Touchscreen

An intuitive 7-inch touchscreen interface provides straightforward control of the printer and helps simplify everyday operation, including repeat production tasks.

VersaWorks 7 Included

Roland's VersaWorks 7 RIP software is included and has functionality specifically designed around the cylindrical printing workflow.

Enter the object dimensions and shape and VersaWorks can make the necessary adjustments, including automatically calculating artwork for tapered objects to produce seamless 360° prints.

Roland DG Connect & Designer

The bundled software package also includes Roland DG Connect and Roland DG Connect Designer, providing cloud-based tools for designing, printing and monitoring production.

Why the Roland RC-300?

Built Specifically for Cylindrical Printing

The RC-300 isn't a standard UV flatbed with a rotary attachment added to it. It's a purpose-built cylindrical printing system designed around the requirements of repeat 360° production.

That means quicker loading, a simpler workflow and support for a much broader variety of cylindrical shapes.

Turn Personalisation into Production

Personalised drinkware and cylindrical products can be valuable applications, but producing them efficiently becomes increasingly important as order volumes grow.

With cycle times of under 60 seconds for White + CMYK under Roland's stated conditions, the RC-300 provides a route from occasional personalised products towards repeat professional and light-industrial production.

Produce a Huge Range of Products

Potential applications include:

Tumblers
Water bottles
Drinkware
Cans and bottles
Cosmetic containers
Candle holders
Home décor
Packaging and mailing tubes
Containers for adhesives, sealants and paints
Specialist and promotional products

Quick Changeovers for Repeat Work

If you're producing multiple product lines, constantly setting up the next object can quickly eat into production time.

The ability to store up to 50 object presets allows frequently used products to be recalled quickly, with automatic adjustment of the table position and tilt helping reduce setup and realignment between jobs.

Designed to Be Straightforward to Operate

Despite being designed for professional production, Roland has placed a strong emphasis on ease of use.

The touchscreen interface, bundled jigs, object presets, VersaWorks workflow and reduced operational steps are designed to make the RC-300 accessible even to operators without extensive digital printing experience.

Durable Ink for Real-World Applications

EUV-H ink isn't simply designed to look good. Roland developed it for applications requiring greater durability, with improved resistance to friction and solvents.

The jettable Primer also helps improve adhesion across challenging materials including glass, metal and plastic, giving businesses more flexibility when choosing products to decorate.

A Complete Roland Workflow

With VersaWorks 7, Roland DG Connect, Roland DG Connect Designer, jigs and a stand included, the RC-300 provides an integrated hardware and software workflow rather than simply supplying the printer itself.

Built for Businesses Ready to Do More with Cylindrical Printing

For print businesses already producing personalised products, the RC-300 offers a way to increase capacity and move into more repeatable production.

For manufacturers and brands, it provides the flexibility to produce short and medium runs, seasonal products, limited editions and multiple design variations without relying solely on conventional labelling or decoration methods.
