New scheme designed to help
SMEs, start-ups & wide format entrepreneurs.
Roland Rental logoIn an interesting and unusual marketing move, Roland DG UK has announced it is officially launching a wide format machine rental programme. The new programme has been specifically designed to enable SMEs, start-ups and businesses to move into wide format technology without the need for up-front investment or financing, by renting a Roland printer or printer/cutter for a one, two or three year period. Some of Roland’s most popular machines will be available to rent, including the VersaCAMM SP-i and new VS-i series of printer/cutters and the VersaART RE-640 printer. The recently launched VersaUV LEF-20 is also available within the scheme.
Roland DG advises that customers investigate purchasing or leasing a printer from one of its network of authorised dealers as a first step. However, it pointed out that if a customer is struggling to secure finance or is not yet ready to commit to purchasing a device, the rental scheme provides an alternative option.
James Johnson, Business Manager, RolandCare and Roland Rentals said: “The new Roland Rental programme has been designed for those SMEs, start-ups and other businesses looking to ‘dip their toes’ into the wide format sector, or for those who may, for various reasons, have difficulty securing a loan to purchase capital equipment. It is also ideal for those who may require additional short-term wide format capacity or companies that desperately want to diversify, but are currently unable to commit to up-front capital expenditure or investment.
“Joining the Roland Rental programme is as straight forward as choosing the right machine for the business’s needs, signing up for a one, two or three year rental contract, paying a three month deposit up front and preparing the business for wide format success,” commented Johnson. “The Roland Rental package includes everything a company needs to get started immediately as well as support the business throughout the entire rental period, including a full set of 220ml Roland inks, delivery and installation, a RolandCare Silver warranty for the life of the rental, VersaWorks RIP software with free updates and a place on a digital print course at the Roland DG Academy. A Roland DG Authorised Dealer will be recommended for the ongoing purchase of inks and media.
A number of Roland printers and printer-cutters are available to rent “This is a very comprehensive package,” continued Johnson, “and one we believe will give the new entrant to wide format printing everything they need to quickly see a return on their investment. The Roland Rental programme will also ensure sign makers, printers and other entrepreneurs can keep up-to-date with the very latest printing technologies.”
Johnson concluded: “At Roland, we are consistently trying to find new ways to work with customers to ensure they can take advantage of all our wide format technology has to offer. This programme could open up a whole world of new possibilities for many smaller, ambitious businesses and we are looking forward to introducing the many benefits of Roland’s technology to them.”
