Roland DG launches EU2-1000MF ‘Direct-to-Board’ printer

15 April 2026

Roland DG Corporation has announced the launched of the EU2-1000MF, a next-generation large-format UV flatbed printer designed to simplify rigid media production by enabling efficient, direct-to-board printing in high-output environments.

Developed for businesses producing signage, retail displays, exhibitions and interior panels, the EU2-1000MF removes the complexity of traditional roll-to-roll print, laminate and mount workflows. By allowing users to move directly from file to finished board, the new flatbed printer helps reduce manual handling, minimise rework, and deliver a more controlled, reliable production process.

Ryugo Nimura, Executive Officer, Global Sales and Marketing Division, Roland DG, says: “With the EU2-1000MF, we have focused on helping print businesses simplify how rigid media work gets done. By moving directly from file to finished board, users can reduce manual steps, improve consistency, and increase output – all while maintaining the stable, repeatable quality needed for daily production.”

Workflow simplification is at the core of the EU2-1000MF. Direct-to-board UV flatbed printing eliminates multiple production stages associated with roll printing, laminating and mounting, enabling print businesses to streamline operations while improving consistency and turnaround times.

By reducing labour-intensive steps and material handling, the EU2-1000MF supports a more predictable production workflow, helping operators maintain quality and efficiency even in demanding, high-volume environments.

The EU2-1000MF supports media sizes up to 1,220 x 2,440mm and materials up to 95mm thick, accommodating a wide range of rigid substrates, making it suitable for both established flatbed users and screen printers transitioning to digital production. The printer has been engineered for daily, production-scale board printing, to provide a dependable flatbed solution for businesses handling rigid signage, display panels, and decorative applications.

The EU2-1000MF has also been built with a new high-definition printhead to deliver approximately 1.5 times higher productivity than the previous EU-1000MF, while maintaining image quality and operational approachability. The recommended production ecosystem also includes Roland DG’s VersaWorks 7 RIP software for organised, accurate and repeatable output, E-US inks delivering controlled running costs and stable performance, and dedicated service and warranty support.
