*UV printers use ink very efficiently and only use very small amounts of ink when printing. A 30x30mm full colour logo printed onto a golf ball would use apx. 0.015ml of ink, so 4x220ml (CMYK) ink cartridges could print over 58,000 golf balls.
**UV printers automatically utilise 'cleaning cycles', where ink is circulated inside the printer and expelled through the print head (into the waste tank). Cleaning cycles can use several milliliters of ink per day.

Roland's optional BD-8 rotary attachment allows rotational printing of cylindrical items.
