CAIBI EQUIPMENT ASSESSMENTRoland DG

VersaSTUDIO BD-8

Professional compact UV flatbed with an 210 x 148 mm printable area, white ink plus primer or gloss, built-in extraction and Roland dealer/service ecosystem.

CAIBI · PROVISIONALThe comparison point for supported commercial desktop UV rather than the cheapest route. Its small bed is restrictive, but dealer support and controlled ownership are part of what the price buys.
