The Roland BD Series: Compact UV Quality with Great Possibilities

In a world where personalization and customization are becoming increasingly important, the Roland BD series offers a powerful solution for those who want to professionally print on objects and materials. Whether you are active in retail, promotion, gifts, or a creative maker, the BD-8 and BD-12 provide flexibility, quality, and reliability in a surprisingly compact design.

💡 What makes the BD series so special?

The Roland BD series consists of desktop UV flatbed printers that print directly onto three-dimensional objects — think keychains, packaging, gadgets, pens, wooden displays, glass, or metal surfaces.

With the latest ECO-UV5 inks (including primer or gloss), you print in high resolution (up to 1440 dpi) with stunning detail. You can choose matte or glossy effects, white as a spot color or primer for difficult surfaces. Thanks to built-in UV-LED curing, your print is ready to use immediately.

Additionally, features such as:

  • user-friendly software (VersaWorks + FlexiDesigner),

  • the Roland DG Connect app for monitoring,

  • and built-in smoke extraction,

ensure you can work safely, cleanly, and easily.

🔍 BD-8 vs. BD-12: what are the differences?

Feature BD-8 BD-12
Print area 210 x 148 mm (A5 size) 305 x 210 mm (almost A4)
Max. material width 240 mm 335 mm
Max. object weight 3 kg 5 kg
Printer dimensions 768 x 586 x 580 mm 995 x 710 x 583 mm

🔹 The BD-8 is ideal for those starting small or with limited space — perfect for personalizing gadgets, corporate gifts, and promotional items.

🔹 The BD-12 offers a larger work area and more flexibility in object size and weight. Ideal if you want to personalize larger products or multiple objects at once.

🛠️ Applications
With the BD series, you can:

  • print promotional items (pens, keychains, USB sticks),

  • produce small series of product packaging,

  • create personalized gifts,

  • decorate wood, glass, leather, or metal with unique visuals,

  • print on cylindrical objects (such as bottles or jars) with an optional rotation unit.

🤝 Who is the BD series for?

This series is perfect for:

  • starting entrepreneurs and small studios,

  • shops or photo businesses offering personalization as an additional service,

  • makers who want to add unique prints to their own products,

  • educational institutions and creative hubs.

Conclusion

Whether you start small with the BD-8 or need more flexibility with the BD-12, the Roland BD series brings a powerful UV printer ready for professional results. Thanks to ease of use, reliability, and wide material compatibility, the BD series is the solution for creative personalization in a compact workspace.
