Display and signage substrates manufacturer Brett Martin has announced that Roland DG has acquired Approved Partner status, following testing of a wide range of the former’s materials on the latter’s UV printers.

The tests included a range of Brett Martin substrates such as Foamalux, Marcryl FS, Marpet-g FS and Marlon FS, which were printed on Roland’s VersaUV LEC2 S-Series and IU-1000F flatbed printers.

Marc Artigas, EMEA sales director for Roland DG, said, ‘Our recent experience printing onto Brett Martin’s materials using our UV flatbed printers was a great success. The high quality of the material, combined with the genuine Roland UV inks, delivered outputs of excellent quality. We’re delighted to now be Approved Partners with Brett Martin across multiple European markets, including the UK & Ireland, Spain, Portugal, and Scandinavia.’

Brett Martin’s Approved Partner Programme sees the Northern Ireland-based plastics manufacturer work with a number of printing, cutting and, more recently, thermoforming machine manufacturers to test and showcase the capabilities of its semi-finished products.

Duncan Smith, sales director for Brett Martin explained, ‘It is important for us to work alongside companies such as Roland DG. We need to ensure that our products can be successfully printed on the equipment which the market uses.’
