  • UV Printer Manufacturer LogoJET Partners with Roland DGA to Broaden Its Direct-to-Object Lineup

    Through a new partnership with Roland DGA, LogoJET adds VersaStudio, VersaObject, and EU2-1000MF UV flatbed printers to its portfolio — pairing them with the five-star support, product-decoration knowledge, direct-to-object expertise, and complete solutions the company is known for.

    LAFAYETTE, La. — September 21, 2026 — LogoJET, a leading manufacturer of direct-to-object UV printing solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with Roland DGA to bring Roland DG VersaStudio and VersaObject UV flatbed printers and RC-300 Series cylindrical printers to its customers. Adding these products to its current offerings enables LogoJET to provide a wider range of machine sizes and features, while also ensuring that the company is fully equipped to sell, install, and support these products from day one.

    The partnership broadens LogoJET’s line in both directions: from smaller, desktop-friendly models built for entry-level and price-sensitive applications, to larger-format solutions that reach beyond the company’s current award-winning R-Series UVx40R PLUS-SE and UVx90R-SE direct-to-substrate printers. Through this partnership, LogoJET can now meet a wider range of customer needs without sending anyone elsewhere.

    For LogoJET, the fit goes beyond the products. As more companies bring customization in-house, they need a partner who provides the training, support, custom trays, and software expertise required for long-term success. Helping customers build efficient, repeatable production workflows has always been at the heart of LogoJET’s approach. Paired with Roland DG’s trusted products, it gives customers a more complete experience than ever.

    Just as important, the two companies share closely aligned values and a “customers for life” approach. Roland DGA’s philosophy of being “the best rather than the biggest,” as well as its purpose of empowering creativity, mirror LogoJET’s own values of putting customers first, finding solutions, and helping businesses turn their imagination into finished products. Both companies believe growth comes from serving customers exceptionally well rather than simply chasing size, and both have earned deep, lasting loyalty the same way, through service that stays with the customer long after the sale. This shared foundation allows LogoJET to continue developing manufacturing and industrial solutions while incorporating select Roland DG products into its portfolio, giving customers a single, trusted partner as their production needs evolve and scale.

    “Partnering with Roland DGA was a deliberate, strategic choice,” said Susan Cox, Founder and CEO of LogoJET. “We explored building new solutions ourselves and working with other manufacturing partners, and Roland DGA was the right choice and the faster path to market. Beyond great products, we saw a company whose values mirror our own. This relationship lets us say yes to more of what our customers ask for. By adding Roland DG printers to our own lineup, LogoJET can now serve a broader segment of the UV direct-to-object market, offering our customers a solution to fit any price point, bed size, or production need, from entry-level desktop models to larger-format production systems, while backing every device with the training, support, custom trays, and expertise LogoJET is known for. Together, we are giving businesses more ways to grow, expand into customization, and turn new opportunities into reality.”

    “Roland DGA is committed to growth within industrial printing markets as direct-to-object manufacturing continues to expand at a rapid pace,” said Roland DGA’s Vice President of Business Development, Dan Johansen. “LogoJET has been a pioneer in providing solutions to the market, and this strategic partnership creates tremendous opportunity for us to rapidly expand our mutual businesses to meet and exceed the growing needs of our customers.”

  • LogoJET Announces Partnership with MakerFlo

    LogoJET has announced a strategic partnership with MakerFlo, expanding LogoJET’s blank-media ecosystem and its turnkey Print-to-Profit solutions for high-demand drinkware and tumbler applications.

    Central to the partnership is MakerFlo’s MakerTwist Tumbler. The purpose-built drinkware line is engineered to increase production efficiency and unlock full-wrap decoration on handled tumblers. 

    Designed specifically with UV printers and engravers in mind, the MakerTwist Tumbler eliminates common limitations associated with handles by allowing full 360-degree wraps without removing handles, modifying fixtures, or settling for partial prints.

    “Customers don’t just want printers. They want a clear path to profitability,” said Michele Choate, vice president of marketing at LogoJET. “Our partnership with MakerFlo, and innovations like the MakerTwist Tumbler, bring together trusted blank media, proven rotary printing capability, and real-world application support, making it easier for customers to produce more, waste less, and scale faster.”

    LogoJET notes that its UV rotary technology allows businesses to bring tumbler production in-house, reducing overhead, accelerating turnaround times, and improving margin control.

    “The MakerTwist Tumbler was designed to solve real production challenges,” said John Modi, founder of MakerFlo. “By reducing handling time and enabling true full-wrap decoration on handled tumblers, we’re helping customers be more productive with their equipment. Partnering with LogoJET allows us to pair that innovation with a proven UV-printing platform.”

    “This partnership removes barriers between setup and success,” said Sumita Patel, customer engagement manager at LogoJET. “By connecting customers to proven blank solutions like MakerTwist and backing them with ongoing support, we’re reinforcing our commitment to delivering complete, scalable production systems.”

As part of the partnership, Ricoh said it will offer LogoJET DTO printers in its portfolio of production hardware, software, workflow, and services.

    The company attributes the growing demand for more customized, on-demand, and efficient printing solutions across a wide range of industries, noting that the U.S. DTO market is projected to grow at a 9.5% CAGR from 2025-2030. 

    “DTO represents a natural extension of digital production for customers looking to diversify and grow,” said Andrew Vecci, director, product & portfolio management at Ricoh USA. “By combining LogoJET’s DTO platforms with Ricoh’s expertise in production print integration, customers gain a scalable way to add new applications while fitting DTO seamlessly into their existing production environments.”

    As LogoJET’s first distribution partner in North America, Ricoh said the partnership expands access to specialized DTO technology “while supporting customers through consulting, workflow design, software integration, and services aligned with their broader print operations.” 

    “Direct-to-object printing is one of the fastest ways for print providers to expand into higher-margin applications, from signage to promotional products,” said Susan Cox, CEO and founder of LogoJET. “Through our partnership with Ricoh, we’re extending this capability across their vast network, with aligned support and a shared customer-first culture. We’re excited and proud to take this step beyond our direct sales model, and Ricoh was a very intentional choice.” 

    LogoJET’s DTO printers are designed specifically for printing on dimensional and specialty items, supporting a wide range of substrates and applications. Through this partnership, Ricoh said its customers can incorporate DTO into “mixed production environments alongside sheetfed, inkjet, wide-format, and finishing solutions.”
