Who wants to be fast needs a good running style
Winners don’t make any unnecessary movements. The ROLAND 500 has the world’s flattest sheet travel and even with substrates up to 1 millimeter* thick and speeds up to 18,000 sheets per hour* it delivers outstanding printing quality. An exceptional performance that is almost the rule for our “Value Added Printing” strategy.



Flat and gentle sheet travel Flat because the center points of the double-diameter impression cylinders and transferters are arranged virtually in a line to provide the world’s flattest sheet travel from the feedboard right through to the delivery pile. Gentle because, in addition to automatic substrate thickness adjustment, there are three* different height settings for the transferter gripper bars. As a result, sheets from 0.04 to 1 millimeter* are always transported through the press gently and contact-free over the air tracks.

Highly stable register The massive integrally-cast base frame guarantees precise register. This combined with the stable mountings ensures smooth running for the lifetime of the press, and the double-diameter impression cylinders and transferters reduce the number of sheet transfers and thus the risk of register problems.

Highly stable inking The fast-reacting 16-roller inking unit* with large storage capacity provides an outstanding printing quality – with consistent inking over the entire run. And the Deltamatic damping unit eliminates the need for mechanical hickey pickers which avoids any loss of quality and reduces the number of waste sheets.

Best coating results* The unique positioning of the chambered doctor blade system at the delivery side of the coating module prevents splashes and foaming from impairing printing quality. The long distance between where the coating is applied to the coating form and where it is applied to the substrate means there is sufficient time for it to spread and form an even, uniform and high-quality surface.
