Roland DG Unveils Enhanced Features of the TY-300 Direct-to-Film Printer

In a recent announcement, Roland DG Corporation, recognized globally as a leader in digital printing solutions, revealed substantial enhancements to its TY-300 Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer. These updates are designed to boost both performance and engineering, making this printer an ideal choice for high-duty-cycle apparel production.

Key Enhancements

One of the standout features of the updated TY-300 is the doubling of its on-board white ink capacity. This is particularly important for DTF printing, which requires a continuous supply of high-density white ink for underbases and opacity. The increased capacity not only means less frequent cartridge replacements but also allows for uninterrupted circulation, significantly reducing interruptions in multi-shift production environments.

Moreover, the TY-300 maintains industry-leading print speeds, achieving up to 47 linear feet per hour in standard mode and a remarkable 75 linear feet per hour in high-speed mode. This performance enhancement is attributed to its innovative dual-printhead architecture and advanced drying control, allowing for stable CMYK + White layering with minimal grain and banding.

Advanced Color Management

Roland DG's new True Rich Color® technology enhances the printer’s color management capabilities, delivering an expanded color gamut and smoother gradients. The system’s four-cartridge white ink setup ensures consistent opacity across large areas, which is crucial for maintaining edge sharpness and fine detail, even in fast-pass conditions.

These improvements turn the TY-300 into a reliable production tool that manages white ink effectively, addressing common issues faced during long print runs. By automating the ink management process, the device reduces the need for manual interventions and downtime, making it an efficient choice for high-volume DTF operations.

Reliability and Automation

Reliability has been a significant focus in the updates as well. The TY-300 features an automatic maintenance system that includes continuous ink circulation and scheduled head-refresh cycles, minimizing downtime. This ensures that operators can count on consistent performance, a vital requirement for busy production facilities.

Automation extends further with the option to integrate a shaker and dryer unit. This allows for full automation of the powder stage and smooth transitions into high-volume production capabilities, significantly easing setup complexities for apparel decorators.

Environmental Compliance and Performance

Beyond performance, the TY-300 complies with industry safety standards. Roland DG’s S-PG2 inks boast OEKO-TEX® ECO PASSPORT certification, appealing to compliance-conscious apparel manufacturers. These inks are not only environmentally friendly but also designed for low waste, reduced consumption, and lasting durability in wash tests, enhancing overall ROI.

Availability

The upgraded TY-300 Direct-to-Film printer is available now through authorized Roland DGA dealers across the U.S., Canada, and Latin America. Interested users can learn more about its features and capabilities by visiting Roland DGA's official website.

Conclusion

As the demand for digital textile printing continues to evolve rapidly, Roland DG remains committed to providing advanced, reliable solutions that enhance productivity. With the updated TY-300 printer, users can expect superior performance tailored for high-volume production, keeping them ahead of the competition in the dynamic world of apparel printing.
