Roland’s first PRINT 13 presentation, “Tap into Business with Wide-Format Printing,” will take place Sunday, Sept. 8 at 2:30 p.m. in the expo hall theater. In this informative session, Eric Zimmerman, Roland product manager, color products, will provide valuable data and insights for commercial printers interested in increasing their business opportunities and profits by expanding into the lucrative digital wide-format market. On Tuesday, Sept. 10 at 3:30 p.m., Hiroshi Ono, Roland DGA’s group product manager, UV, 3-D and Engraving Products, will introduce attendees to “New Technologies Revolutionizing the Production of Realistic Package Prototypes and Comps,” an enlightening presentation detailing the advantages of UV-LED printers and how these state-of-the-art devices are making package proofing and prototyping faster and easier than ever before.

Bob Armstrong, the winner of eight 2013 PIA Benny Awards for his “Body of Work” collection—a “new generation” of artistic photographic imagery, will be Roland’s special in-booth guest from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 8 and Monday, Sept. 9. Armstrong relies upon Roland’s innovative UV-LED printing technology to create flawless one-off prints from his original photographic masterpieces, works of art that sell for $25,000 and up.
