Desktop UV flatbed printers for product personalisation and prototyping

Designed for creators, makers, and in-house brands.

Key Features:

• Print directly onto 3D and curved objects

• Built-in fume extraction for safe desktop use
• BD-8: A5 size | BD-12: full A4 size
• AR marker alignment with smartphone camera (BD-12 only)

Why choose a BD Series printer?

The Roland DG VersaSTUDIO BD Series gives you true desktop UV printing power in two distinct formats. Both the BD-8 and BD-12 let you print in vibrant CMYK, opaque white, and special layers like gloss or matte varnish for tactile effects and embossed finishes. They also support primer ink, enabling strong adhesion on challenging substrates like glass, metal, and certain plastics. Whether you're customising flat items or experimenting with textured surfaces, the BD Series delivers premium output using the same high-end EUV5 inks found in Roland’s flagship UV printers.

The BD-12 raises the bar with a full A4 print area, support for objects up to 5kg in weight, and advanced usability features like AR-marker-based alignment using your smartphone. It also includes an optional rotary attachment for cylindrical printing on objects like bottles and lipsticks. Meanwhile, the BD-8 offers the same exceptional print quality in a more compact A5 format, ideal for smaller items and businesses just starting out with desktop personalisation. Both models come with built-in fume extraction and intuitive controls designed for safe, efficient operation in tight spaces.

What can I create with the BD Series?

These affordable UV printers can not only print on flat objects like smartphone cases, stationery and cosmetic items. They can print on wide variety of substrates including cylindrical and rounded objects too such as bottles, lipsticks, tin cans, golf balls, jars and pens using the optional rotary axis. These compact UV printers are compatible with numerous materials, from soft textures like fabric and leather to hard textures like wood, plastic, glass and metal enabling greater productivity. 

Which BD model is right for you?

If you’re looking to get started with desktop UV printing, the BD-8 is a reliable and cost-effective option. It’s compact, user-friendly, and perfectly suited for small-format personalisation, think keyrings, phone cases, and product sampling. For professionals needing greater output flexibility, precision alignment tools, and support for larger or cylindrical objects, the BD-12 is the upgrade to beat. With its full A4 print bed, enhanced material handling, AR-guided positioning, and rotary support, it’s perfect for businesses ready to scale or prototype professionally.
