Roland DG, a manufacturer of wide-format printers, cutters and engraving devices, announces that it has expanded its network of dealers by adding two UK-based companies to its network of distributors: R A Smart and i-Sub Ltd.

Both are already established suppliers of digital textile print systems. They will be adding the Roland DG Texart XT-640 dye-sublimation transfer machine to their collection of printers.

The Texart XT-640 is the newest addition to Roland DG’s dye-sub transfer range, providing a solution for textile businesses across a range of industries, according to the company.
