Why NOW Is the Best Time to Upgrade
Colorado print businesses are operating in a highly diversified environment—outdoor graphics, ski resort branding, retail signage, and trade show materials all demand speed and precision. Here’s why 2025 is the sweet spot to upgrade your Roland equipment:
- Market Shifts: Shorter lead times, higher personalization, and increased material variety are reshaping client expectations.
- Better ROI: New Roland devices dramatically increase productivity while opening new markets (textured print, UV object printing, custom gifts).
- Labor Efficiency: With staffing still tight, automated job management and RIP software help stretch your team’s capacity.
- Technology Leap: Waiting could put your business behind competitors who adopt now and start capturing new revenue streams.
- Tax Planning: Upgrading before year-end may qualify for equipment deductions and financing advantages.
How to Choose the Right Roland for Your Business
Not all upgrades are created equal. Before pulling the trigger, assess your needs based on:
- Job Type: Are you producing wraps, decals, wall graphics, or gift items?
- Substrate Range: Do you need to print on rigid, flexible, 3D, or textured materials?
- Speed & Volume: How many jobs are you handling daily? Are peak seasons stressing your equipment?
- Space: Do you have room for new equipment, or do you need compact solutions?
- Workforce: How experienced is your team? Do you need easier, more automated interfaces?
Match your needs to the right device:
- XP-640 / XG-640: High-volume wrap, signage, decal production
- MO Series: Personalization and rigid object printing
- BN2-30 / BD-12: Entry-level or supplemental shop operations
- DA-640: Textured graphics for decor or high-impact branding
What to Expect from Roland in 2026
If you’re future-planning, Roland has already signaled big moves for next year:
- Advanced Automation: Expect integrated finishing, robotic handling, and enhanced AI job-routing.
