Roland DGA Introduces VersaSTUDIO GS2-24 Desktop Vinyl Cutter

Roland DGA Corporation has announced the newest addition to Roland DG’s VersaSTUDIO series of desktop devices – the compact GS2-24 vinyl cutter.

VersaSTUDIO’s twenty-year history of innovation and industry experience in vinyl cutter manufacturing means that the new VersaSTUDIO G2-24-24 offers users the best combination of media compatibility and precision. It also features an easy-to-use interface and a low price. The GS2 is the first Roland DG cutter to be sold under the VersaSTUDIO label. It offers small and home-based businesses a professional cutting solution with superior performance than other devices on the market.

The GS2 increases productivity and cutting power by allowing for a higher cutting pressure up to 500 gf, and a cutting speed of 850 mm per sec. It’s capable of cutting a wide variety of materials – ranging from thin heat transfer sheets and window films to thick paper and rubber sheets for sandblasting, as well as commonly used vinyl sheets – quickly and accurately. The GS2 is small enough to fit on a desktop. If desired, the included stand can be used to free up some desk space.

The GS2 combines exceptional functionality with unparalleled Roland DG durability. This makes it unbeatable for many applications such as sports apparel, T-shirt customization and indoor and outdoor advertising and signs, vehicle graphics and office displays. It is also possible to produce stickers and labels quickly and efficiently by using photos or illustrations printed on commercial inkjets. The GS2 automatically reads the four crop marks printed on the material and cuts along the designated cut line. This allows for fast and precise finishing of complex stickers that are difficult to make by hand.

Roland DG CutStudio design program is included. It makes it easy to create cut data, such as text, simple shapes and illustrations. This user-friendly software is powerful enough to extract the outline from images. The GS2 comes with a plug-in program that allows you to export directly from CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator, both of which are widely used in design.

The company says users will also appreciate the GS2’s compatibility with Roland DG Connect, a cloud-based app that optimizes customer satisfaction and success by providing a more powerful operating environment, improved workflow, and increased business insights, while benefiting people with different skills, goals, and requirements. Roland DG Connect includes a dashboard function, which allows users to see product availability and performance in an easily-understand way.

“The compact size, ease of use, and affordability of our VersaSTUDIO Series offerings, including the new GS2-24 vinyl cutter, make these devices ideal for anyone who wants to launch a new business, grow a current business, or work from home,” says Roland DGA’s product manager of digital print, Daniel Valade. “Like our recently introduced VersaSTUDIO BN-20A desktop printer/cutter, the GS2-24 vinyl cutter is a solution that fits in perfectly with today’s growing interest in digital technologies and diversification of work styles.”

Roland DGA’s Small Business Segment Manager, Angelyn Cubacub, points out that the company’s VersaSTUDIO family is continuously growing, offering entrepreneurs seeking to start up home-based online businesses a range of innovative desktop machines to choose from. “The next-generation GS2 cutter complements other state-of-the-art products like the BN-20 printer/cutter and BT-12 direct-to-garment printer, within this series,” she says. “Whatever your specific needs may be, we offer a value-packed, simple-to-operate VersaSTUDIO device to help you build your business.”
