Flatbed Printer Saves Ink and Money

By Michael Jermann, Assistant Editor

To create accurate prototypes of its products, RSP Inc. relies on the Roland LEF-12 12 in. benchtop UV flatbed printer. RSP chose the LEF-12 because of its ease of use and low operating costs.

“Other printers we’ve looked at burn through $2,000 to $3,000 of ink each month just to keep running,” said Paul Ryan, co-owner of RSP. “The LEF-12 is easy to start up and shut down, and it re-circulates its inks, saving us money and time.”

RSP’s products are used in hospitals, automobiles, consumer products, military vehicles and even on the international space station.

RSP is a contract manufacturer supplying turnkey assembly packages. The company produces PCB switches, custom membrane switches, silicone rubber keypads and much more.

“The LEF-12 helps us quickly respond to the changing needs of our clients,” said Ryan. “Whenever they need a demonstration of a design idea or a short run of custom overlays, we can provide cost-effective solutions.”

“We see our growth continuing,” added Ryan. “With the LEF-12, we can produce prototypes and short runs for our clients that accurately demonstrate our production capabilities.”
