On another corner of the same booth is what is billed the world’s first UV inkjet printer/cutter, the Roland DG VersaUV LEC-300 with a list price of USD52,495, that’s more than RM173,000!

The “Ekspo Industri Desa Malaysia dan Pameran Mesin IKS Antarabangsa 2010″ (2010 Malaysian Rural Industries Expo and International SME Machinery Exhibition) is on at Sabah Trade Centre, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah 18-21st March 2010.
Among the things I saw on display is the world’s first inkjet printer/cutter with metallic silver ink, the Roland DG Soljet Pro III XC-540MT, which is a 54” (137cm) inkjet printer/cutter featuring CMYK, white and new, metallic silver, ink. According to the manufacturer’s website, its cost is almost USD40,000 (more than RM132,000!).
But what caught my eye initially was the brand name: the very name Roland evokes images of keyboards/synthesisers in my head, much like the name Omnipage reminds me of scanning software.
Also on display is the only slightly less expensive Roland DG VersaCAMM VS-640, which, according to the same website, costs more than USD26,000 (more than RM85,000).

Yup Roland sounds like synthesizer stuff :)
When I asked the (Singaporean) exhibitor again, she said yes, Roland does both music and this. The other guy said Roland has been doing printers/plotters for many years already.
as for criminal-minded persons, this machine is perfect to print fake money!!!!!
