How TINY can it print? Quality Test | Roland BD-8 UV Printer

I'm curious how tiny we can print. Watch to see the results!
I'm printing on the Roland BD-8 Desktop UV Printer. I'm printing directly onto the object- in this case a plastic measuring tape. There's no paint, no sublimation, no vinyl cutting!

Amazing that you’re working with one of these units. I can’t justify the expense yet at 10K. You must have a large volume to be able to get a return on that investment. Great job!

That's awesome. Even the small type is still clear to read.

How often are you going through ink?

I've had this since late march/ early april and so far I've only replaced the White and Primer ink cartridges once each
