Following participation in last year’s inaugural program, Roland DG employees joined the Hamamatsu Innovation Challenge 2022, a program organized by local Hamamatsu companies aimed at developing new business ideas, and won the Excellence Award.

Roland DG showcased the latest models of the TrueVIS inkjet series, which were launched on January 26, at JAPAN SHOP 2023, the 52nd International Exhibition for Shop Systems and Fixturing, held at Tokyo Big Sight from February 28 to March 3, 2023. Roland DG unveiled resin, UV, and eco-solvent inkjet printers. Members of the Japan sales department as well as those involved in product development participated daily as staff.

A ceiling painting by legendary Ukiyo-e artist Katsushika Hokusai has been digitally reproduced (as shown in the photo) in its original size using Roland DG’s UV printer. It was on display in the “Digital x Hokusai” Special Exhibition that ran until July 3, 2022 at NTT’s InterCommunication Center [ICC] Gallery A in Shinjuku, Tokyo.

The latest models of Roland DG’s TrueVIS VG3 series wide-format printer/cutters were unveiled at JAPAN SHOP 2022, the 51st International Exhibition for Shop Systems and Fixturing, which was held at Tokyo Big Sight from March 1 to 4.

Roland DG employees recently took part in a program organized by local Hamamatsu companies aimed at developing new business ideas by interacting with like-minded people within each individual company.

In autumn, Zou-no-hana Park in Yokohama Port, Japan, was illuminated by the Hikari no Mi (Shining Smile Fruit) light-based installation that featured trees adorned with smiling faces drawn by children. Visitors normally take part in person during the annual event to create drawings. Since this was difficult to achieve this year, however, the event took on a new online approach, where Roland DG's UV printers were utilized for the event.
