Lasercut.London has paid tribute to its recent investment in a Roland VersaUV LEF-12i, saying it has been able to use the device for much more than the one function for which it was installed.

Lasercut.London has even used the Roland VersaUV LEF-12i to print onto a pancake to celebrate Shrove Tuesday
The company has evolved from a laser-cutting business to a problem-solving consultancy for high-end brands, offering services such as the design and manufacture of awards, furniture and automotive products.
Having initially purchased the machine for one area of the business, Chris McGee, managing director of Lasercut.London, realised that the company could use the Roland DG device for a number of production processes.
“We bought the machine for one specific application, like many of our devices. But once it was installed and I started playing around with what it can do, I discovered many more of its functions,” McGee says.
“I love the white ink and the surface textures possible with printing layers of gloss UV ink. It brings 3D effects into traditional print.”

McGee continues: “It was the only machine in its class that was fully enclosed; we like things to be as clean as possible in our studio environment.
“While it is fun, the LEF-12i is also a technical machine and our training at the Roland Creative Centre was really worthwhile.
“I would definitely recommend other users go on a course. The experts there steer you much quicker to what the machine can do for you than YouTube videos or the manual can. In fact, the whole experience with Roland is really great, right from the beginning.”
