Big3D.com signs for a new ROLAND 500 six-color with inline coating

Press release from the issuing company

November 7, 2006 - Big3D.com Worldwide of Fresno, California has ordered a six-color ROLAND 500 press with inline coating and an extended delivery from MAN Roland Inc. The privately held company is the industry leader in lenticular and three-dimensional printing processes.   The versatility of the ROLAND 500, which can handle the widest range of substrates in the industry and stock thicknesses from onionskin to 40 pt board, will be put to good use on lenticular jobs at Big3D.com. The technique involves placing special lenses over a two dimensional print, allowing the eye to simultaneously view alternating sections of multiple images.   “Offset litho lenticular projects offer amazing ROI opportunities for direct mail, packaging, and retail/POP projects that can not be duplicated with traditional two dimensional printing,” says Bradley Fitzhenry, Marketing Director at Big3D.com. “As the leader in 3D/motion lenticular graphics printing, we are excited at being able to offer additional capabilities as a result of purchasing the ROLAND 500.”
