In addition, the SG2 printer/cutters with TR2 ink have earned print durability warranty program certifications from the industry’s top media manufacturers, including the 3M MCS Warranty and Avery Dennison’s ICS Performance Guarantee.

Like all Roland TrueVIS series printer/cutters, the new SG2-640, SG2-540 and SG2-300 are designed to provide unsurpassed image quality, versatility, productivity and ease of use for wide-format graphics providers. With its two FlexFire™ print heads, new TR2 eco-solvent inks in a CMYK configuration, and low operating costs, the SG2 makes TrueVIS performance and reliability more affordable than ever.

To take full advantage of its superior color reproduction capability and the wide color gamut provided by Roland’s specially formulated TR2 ink, the SG2 includes a new True Rich Color preset. Now, vibrant color can be combined with neutral grays, smooth gradations and natural skin tones to create stunning graphics.

To ensure optimum image quality, the SG2 printer/cutter’s FlexFire print heads incorporate new waveform technology to control the precise firing of TR2 ink droplets. Simultaneous control of variable droplets results in unparalleled image quality, print after print. In addition, the SG2 is equipped with innovative features that minimize running costs and increase profitability, including a newly developed ink delivery system that automates maintenance sequences to reduce ink consumption by up to 54 percent.*

Flip Electronics Extends Authorized IDT Distribution Agreement with the Addition of Renesas and Intersil Portfolios for EOL Supply Chain Solutions


Flip Electronics, a provider of end-of-life (EOL) component solutions, has signed an extended agreement with IDT and Renesas Electronics Corp. to deliver EOL and obsolete products for their extensive line of trusted embedded design and semiconductor solutions. A global leader in microcontrollers, analog, power, and SoC products, Renesas provides comprehensive solutions for a broad range of automotive, industrial, home electronics, office automation, and information communication technology applications. Included in the agreement are Intersil semiconductor products.

IDT’s market-leading products in RF, high-performance timing, memory interface, real-time interconnect, optical interconnect, wireless power, and smart sensors are among the company’s broad array of complete mixed-signal solutions for the communications, computing, consumer, automotive, and industrial segments.

“This expansion of our partnership will bring the outstanding brand names of Renesas and Intersil to our authorized product portfolio to help the industry seeking supply chain solutions and to avoid line shutdowns due to obsolete components,” said Jason Murphy, CEO of Flip. “Authorization eliminates the fear of sourcing gray market parts. We have been growing substantially, and this strategic move will indeed put us on a faster track.”

As component makers release new products faster, the pace of obsolescence has also increased. OEMs and EMS providers may no longer be able to source a part that was designed into their equipment. Manufacturers often turn to the open market to source obsolete electronic components.

“This is a natural move with Flip, which has done an excellent job with IDT to enhance its customer service to support all of Renesas’ EOL and obsolete products efficiently with an authorized distributor that understands their unique supply chain needs,” said Michael Bennett, Head of Renesas Global Distribution.

As component makers release new products faster, the pace of obsolescence has also increased. OEMs and EMS providers may no longer be able to source a part that was designed into their equipment. Manufacturers often turn to the open market to source obsolete electronic components.

Sunrise Hitek Debuts Custom Playing Cards In a Variety of Finishes


Custom Playing Cards

Custom Playing Cards

One of the best perks to working with Sunrise Hitek is that using an all digital workflow allows for low minimum quantities.

Playing Cards from Sunrise Hitek are 100% customizable. Simply provide the artwork and they will do the rest. They can produce a standard playing card deck as well as other more out of the box ideas. Trading cards, flash cards, and game cards are just a few ideas. With in-house digital die-cutting these can also be cut into virtually any shape desired.

After deciding on size and shape there are also various paper stocks and finishes to choose from. In addition to the standard weight stock used for a playing card deck, buyers can choose a heavier weight paper stock, or even add painted edges to their thicker cards! While a standard gloss finish is popular, there is also matte, satin, and spot UV coating which can make a specific logo or photo pop for added depth.

Another great feature is printing on metallic stock. While a metallic finish is definitely shiny and aesthetically pleasing, it has other added benefits. They can even be used to create special effects or anti-counterfeit measures.. Anything printed with a metallic finish gives an instant wow factor.

One of the best perks to working with Sunrise Hitek is that using an all digital workflow allows for low minimum quantities. This makes for a great opportunity to make mock-ups for a new game design, photo prop for a movie, advertising campaign or simply to have a unique set of playing cards as a corporate giveaway or memorable party favor.

About Sunrise Hitek

Sunrise Hitek is an Inc. 5000 company established in 1988 and offers speedy and innovative print marketing execution for the world’s leading brands. Sunrise employs the most advanced equipment and technology, such as G7-certified HP Indigo & UV flatbed presses, digital die-cutting, and specialty coating/lamination, to create best-in-class color printing, packaging, trade show & display graphics, plus a wide variety of promo products.
