Clevedon, UK - Roland DG is pleased to announce it has appointed garment and textile sector specialist, The Magic Touch, to its Roland Authorised Dealer network.  The Dunstable-headquartered company, will be tasked with selling a selection of Roland DG’s market-leading wide format products to customers in the garment decoration industry.

Says Jerry Davies, Managing Director, Roland DG UK:  “The Magic Touch has been appointed to grow sales and awareness of the Roland DG products in the textile and garment decoration industry. It is a well-established UK arm of a highly successful international business and well regarded in the industry for its knowledge and technical expertise and I believe we have found an outstanding partner to work with in this market.

Mr Davies says the focus for The Magic Touch will initially be on the marketing and selling of the desktop VersaSTUDIO BN-20 and the VersaCAMM SP300i.

Says Jim Nicol, Managing Director, The Magic Touch: “We’re proud to have been appointed as a Roland Authorised Dealer. We have been firmly established in the SME garment and textile sector for many years and have worked hard to secure a strong reputation for great products backed by high levels of service and customer satisfaction.  The inclusion of Roland DG products in our portfolio means we now have an even more comprehensive offering to support all our clients and their ambitions as they grow their businesses.

“Our market is changing rapidly as more entrepreneurs enter the sector with highly creative niche and online businesses that can be run from home or a small office with low level of initial investment. As such, the excellent ROI and production versatility of Roland’s BN-20 and VersaCAMM SP300i machines make them the ideal solutions for this vibrant and diverse market. Combine these machines with a heat press and you have a ready-made garment and textile decoration business at your fingertips, for a comparatively low cost of entry.”

The VersaSTUDIO BN-20 is Roland’s most compact wide format eco-solvent print & cut machine – a desktop 20 inch wide device that prints full colour, plus metallic or white, and contour cuts on a full spectrum of media. It can produce everything from t-shirt transfers, garment decorations, stickers, decals, labels, photo prints, posters to small format signage. 

The VersaCAMM SP300i is another a great solution for printing on a wide range of colourfast heat-applied materials such as flock, reflective, neon, glitter and twill. It is compatible with industry standard specialised heat transfer materials (HTM) which have been specifically designed for printed inkjet transfers onto cotton or cotton blend garments. The machine can also be used solely as a stand-alone cutter, so is the perfect tool for cutting a vast range of colourfast heat-applied materials, offering  maximum flexibility in a single machine.
