To celebrate the success, Body of Work and Roland DG are giving away one of the unique Body of Work pieces valued at $25,000 at PacPrint & Visual Impact 2013. 

"Body of Work has a simple philosophy," said Bob Armstrong, Principal of Body of Work. "True progress is made by not following in the footsteps of others. Based on this, in 2006 we set out with the goal to produce the best printed product in the world."

The application of this philosophy has made Body of Work the benchmark in establishing and applying original creative directions primarily in communication strategy, design, photography and the establishment of new frontiers in print.

Roland DG Australia has been working closely with Body of Work team to achieve these new frontiers in print. Marc Margetts, Managing Director at Roland DG Australia was proud that Roland could play an integral part in this unique project. "Roland VersaUV technology has allowed Body of Work to push creative print boundaries," said Marc. "We are very excited to partner with Bob and the team at Body of Work. The quality and breadth of their work is simply amazing and was ultimately recognised by receiving the most prestigious print award in the world."

"In 2012, we reached our goal by winning five of the prestigious Benny awards in the US," said Bob.

With the help of Roland technology, Body of Work reached its pinnacle winning eight awards in the Printing Industries of America Awards in October 2012. Among these awards was the "Best of Show Award" from 3,000 elite international entries - Body of Work is the first Australian organisation to win this prestigious award.

The spectacular Best Of Show 'Pas De Chasse' will be on display on the Roland DG stand at PacPrint and Visual Impact 2013, along with other award winning Body of Work pieces. Further to this, Body of Work and Roland DG will also be giving away a limited edition Body of Work piece valued at $25,000 at the show.

As part of their production print demonstrations at the show, Roland DG Australia will be printing over 1000 square meters of print for several well known non profit organisations to help promote their current campaigns and causes.

Sydney, Australia, May 22, 2013 - Leading wide format manufacturer Roland DG Australia is running a unique program at PacPrint and Visual Impact that will see Roland DG delivering large format prints for several non-profit organisations as part of their printer demonstrations at the show.

Roland DG will be one of the hundreds of exhibitors at PacPrint that will be showcasing the latest in print technology. A big part of showcasing these devices is of course printing samples in order to demonstrate the printing speeds, print quality and range of applications possible.

Having attended many exhibitions over the years, John Wall, Sales Director at Roland DG Australia, is very familiar with the amount of sample print that is produced at a big trade show such as PacPrint. "Typically, we produce lots of print over the five days of the exhibition, running sample prints to demonstrate our wide format devices," said John. "In fact, our new PRO4 XF-640 in particular runs so fast that it can literally go through a 50 metre roll of media with commercial grade print, in under an hour."

"Too often this print just go to waste, with much of it simply thrown out by visitors or exhibitors. You can only imagine the total amount of 'demonstration' print that will be printed at this show by all the exhibitors! So at Roland DG, we plan to give this print purpose."

Roland DG Australia is partnering with Oxfam Australia, World Vision Australia, SurfAid and industry organisation VISA, to deliver over 1000 square metersof useable print for various campaigns these organisations are running. Thanks to media partners, Shil and Avery, Roland DG will be using Sihl Quadrosorb 3526 matte poster paper and Avery 4130 for banners.

SurfAid's Director, Marketing and Communications, Kirk Willcox, said it was a great initiative from Roland DG Australia and much appreciated. "Being a small, non-profit organisation we have little budget for printing new marketing collateral," Willcox said. "This is of great benefit for our organization in helping to promote awareness of our work and we applaud Roland DG Australia for their creative thinking to benefit non-profits."

Zane Kuramoto, Creative Director at World Vision Australia was also grateful for the support - "These generously donated large scale prints will offer our staff and supporters the opportunity to see a selection of our beautiful photographs like never before and reconnect with the people we serve from communities all around the world. For this, we're truly thankful."

"We are excited to be able to support these great causes," said Marc Margetts, Managing Director at Roland DG Australia. "What better way to use our printing at the show than to offer it to organisations that do such good work in the community and around the world. We hope these prints help to make a great impact for these organisations."

With a blistering start to sales, only matched by its print speed, the new PRO4 XF-640 has already made an impact on the market and is expected to be a big draw card at PacPrint and Visual Impact 2013. Roland DG will be showcasing a range of exciting new wide format solutions and will have several surprises that will be revealed at the event next week.

Sydney, Australia, May 14, 2013 - Leading wide format manufacturer Roland DG Australia is anticipating that the ground breaking new PRO4 XF-640 wide format printer will be a big draw card at PacPrint and Visual Impact next week.

This good start to sales doesn't come as a huge surprise to Roland DG who expected the XF-640 to be very popular - "With the new technology delivering blistering print speeds up to 102 m2/hr, while maintaining exceptional print quality, the XF-640 is truly a ground breaking development in wide format," said John Wall, Roland DG Australia Sales Director. "We knew the XF would be popular but we are still very pleased with the sales so far and look forward to showcasing it to the industry."

The popular PRO4 XR-640 Printer/cutter launched late 2012, will also be a big draw card with the last chance to go into the draw win a Ford XR6*. In addition, Roland DG will be demonstrating real soft-signage and textile solutions, and the VersaUV LEJ-640 Hybrid UV printer for a variety of applications.
