Roland EU2-1000MF UV LED Flatbed Printer
The Roland EU2-1000MF is a production-grade UV LED flatbed printer built for direct-to-board output at scale. Printing onto rigid substrates up to 2,440 × 1,220 mm and 95 mm thick, it removes the laminating and mounting steps associated with roll-to-board workflows. The new-generation flatbed platform delivers up to 1.5× faster output versus previous generations, while E-US UV inks — available in CMYK, White and Gloss — support the full range of signage, retail display and interior panel applications. GREENGUARD Gold certified for compliant indoor production environments.
Available in 4-head (CMYK) and 6-head (CMYK + White + Gloss) configurations. Includes VersaWorks 7 RIP and Roland DG Care installation and warranty.
Roland EU2-1000MF — UV LED Flatbed Printer for Direct-to-Board Production
The Roland EU2-1000MF is a new-generation UV LED flatbed printer engineered for high-output direct-to-board production. Where traditional workflows require separate printing, laminating and mounting steps, the EU2-1000MF prints UV-cured graphics directly onto rigid substrates — eliminating handling stages, reducing turnaround times and lowering per-job costs for businesses running production volumes of signage, retail panels and interior graphics.
With a maximum print area of 2,440 × 1,120 mm (extendable to 2,440 × 1,220 mm with service adjustment), substrate thicknesses up to 95 mm and load weights up to 45 kg/m², the EU2-1000MF handles the standard panel formats and board weights used across signage and display production. The new flatbed platform delivers up to 1.5× the output speed of the previous generation, supporting high-shift production schedules without sacrificing print quality.

What Can the Roland EU2-1000MF Produce?
The EU2-1000MF is designed for businesses producing rigid-substrate graphics at commercial volumes. Applications supported include:
- Signage Panels: PVC foamboard, aluminium composite and Dibond panels for outdoor and indoor signage — printed direct-to-board at production speed, with no lamination required for many applications.
- Exhibition & Event Displays: Trade show panels, pop-up display boards and exhibition graphics produced at full-board size with sharp detail and consistent colour across multi-panel sets.
- Architectural Wall Panels: Large-format decorative panels for retail interiors, hospitality environments and corporate spaces — printed on MDF, foam, acrylic or composite board substrates.
- Retail & POS Displays: Point-of-sale stands, product display units and promotional panels with brand-accurate colour and UV-durable surface finishes.
- Transparent Acrylic Graphics: UV printing on clear and frosted acrylic substrates for premium signage, interior displays and decorative applications.
- Decorative & Specialty Substrates: Printing on wood, glass, tile, leather and other rigid materials for bespoke decorative and technical applications.
Substrate Handling and Registration
Accurate, repeatable substrate positioning is critical for multi-pass work, white underlayer printing and high-volume board runs. The EU2-1000MF addresses this with a precision flatbed mechanism, vacuum bed and physical alignment features:
Vacuum bed keeps boards flat and stable during printing
Supports boards up to 2,440 × 1,220 mm and 95 mm thick
Alignment pins support fast, repeatable substrate loading for production runs
- Vacuum Bed: Holds rigid substrates flat and stationary during printing, preventing substrate movement that could cause image registration errors or print quality variation.
- Alignment Pins: Physical alignment pins enable fast, repeatable board positioning, making them particularly valuable for multi-pass white/gloss workflows and batch production of identically-sized boards.
- Automatic Height Sensing: The printhead height is automatically detected and adjusted based on the substrate thickness — supporting the EU2’s wide 95 mm thickness range without manual adjustment.
- Media Collision Detection: Protects the printheads from impact with raised edges or surface irregularities on the substrate.
UV-LED Curing System
Built-in UV-LED lamps cure ink immediately on the substrate surface
The EU2-1000MF incorporates a built-in UV-LED curing lamp array that cures ink immediately as it is deposited on the substrate surface. Benefits of UV-LED curing include:
- Boards can be handled, stacked and moved immediately after printing
- No solvent off-gassing period required — the ink is fully cured at the point of output
- UV-LED technology is energy-efficient and has a long operational life compared with mercury-vapour UV systems
- Consistent cure quality across the full print width, even at production speeds
E-US UV Inks — Economical, Durable and GREENGUARD Gold Certified
The EU2-1000MF uses Roland DG’s E-US UV ink system, configurable at installation for either four-colour (CMYK) or six-colour (CMYK + White + Gloss) printing. Key ink system features:
- GREENGUARD Gold Certified: E-US inks carry GREENGUARD Gold certification, making them suitable for use in sensitive indoor environments including retail, hospitality, healthcare and commercial spaces.
- 2.5-Litre Ink Tanks: High-capacity 2.5L tanks support continuous production runs. Tanks can be refilled during operation, eliminating downtime for ink changes mid-job.
- LCD Ink Level Display: Real-time ink level monitoring from the control panel supports planned refilling and prevents unexpected production interruptions.
- White Ink Agitation: Automatic agitation of the white ink channels prevents pigment settling, maintaining consistent opacity and density across long production runs without manual intervention.
- Controlled Running Costs: Predictable ink consumption with E-US UV inks provides stable per-job cost control across high-volume flatbed production.
Production Safety Features
The EU2-1000MF is built for production environments where operator safety and compliance are essential:
- Anti-Static Control System: Integrated ionisation reduces static build-up on rigid substrates, preventing dust attraction and maintaining consistent print quality.
- Emergency Stop System: Four-quadrant emergency stops, a gantry safety panel and a detection beam are integrated as standard.
- Industrial Casters and Levelling: Heavy-duty casters with precision levelling feet for stable, vibration-free production and straightforward repositioning.
- Side Control Station: A dedicated side table provides workspace for a production PC and convenient machine management.
VersaWorks 7 RIP — Included as Standard
