Roland DG Connect Designer offers easy design tools for beginners and includes a library of images, shapes, fonts, and illustrations.
Roland DGA has released a new software application, Roland DG Connect Designer, which allows users to create print-ready graphics tailored for their Roland DG printers.
As part of the Roland DG Connect software suite, the Designer application—available with the free Basic Roland DG Connect plan—provides three main functions. One of these is a simplified design creation tool intended for users with limited experience in professional design software, such as in-store staff or small business owners. The application streamlines the design process and includes a library of images, shapes, fonts, and illustrations.
A second function is the generation of automated print settings. Instead of having to set detailed print settings in the dedicated VersaWorks 7 RIP software running the printer, Roland DG Connect Designer produces the necessary print settings automatically during the design phase and enables printing to begin immediately once the job is sent to the printer, allowing for a faster, more streamlined workflow.
A third set of capabilities allows for the unique functions of various printers to be incorporated into the design by utilizing modules specific to each device. With Roland DG Connect Designer, users can choose to add the desired design features made possible by their printer and work requirements, and install only the functions they require, for a simpler and more cost-effective operation. Initially, for users of the new DA-640 dimensional surface printer, a DIMENSE module offers preset embossing effects, file preparation, and visualization for creating textured output on the DA-640.
