Roland DG TY-300: A Remarkable Achievement in Printing
Roland DG, a leader in the field of digital printing solutions, is thrilled to share that their TY-300 direct-to-film printer received the prestigious BLI 2026 Pick Award from Keypoint Intelligence. This award, granted to products demonstrating exceptional performance through rigorous testing, recognizes the TY-300 for its outstanding quality and innovation in direct-to-film printing.
Outstanding Performance Evaluated
After an extensive assessment focused on image quality, color performance, durability, productivity, and user-friendliness, the TY-300 earned accolades in the 1 and 2 printhead category for printers measuring 60-80 cm. This recognition was based on a comprehensive evaluation of currently tested products from manufacturers worldwide.
Exceptional Image Quality and Color Precision
David Sweetnam, Director of EMEA/APAC Research & Lab Services at Keypoint Intelligence, noted the impressive capabilities of the TY-300, stating, "The TY-300 delivered an exceptionally strong overall performance during our testing. Its image quality was consistently impressive, and we recorded the largest color gamut to date for a CMYK-only DTF device. This capability translates into vibrant graphics even on dark garments in high-quality mode." He added that these attributes firmly establish the TY-300 as a strong competitor in the growing field of direct-to-film printing.
Superior Washability and Reliability
Furthermore, the analysis underscored the printer's washability, which is crucial for garment decoration. After undergoing twenty wash-and-tumble-dry cycles, the TY-300 showcased minimal color shift and no deterioration in detail or clarity. Both text and graphics maintained their appearance, highlighting the printer's reliability for long-lasting and high-quality output.
Boosting Productivity in the Printing Process
Productivity also stood out in the TY-300's tests, with the machine achieving an impressive 117.33 square feet per hour in Roland DG's recommended production mode. For those prioritizing speed, the printer exceeded 188.11 square feet per hour in a faster 4-pass mode. This functionality ensures continuous operation through innovative features like white ink cartridge swapping and nozzle-blockage compensation.
Enhanced Production Capabilities
Roland DG Connect adds another layer of support with its cloud-based device monitoring, reporting, and business analytics capabilities, enhancing overall workflow visibility and operational efficiency. Ryugo Nimura, President of Roland DG's Global Sales and Marketing Division, expressed pride in receiving the Pick Award, affirming the company's commitment to innovation in the garment decoration sector and their customers' creative growth.
