Roland TY-300 Wins BLI 2026 Pick Award for Outstanding Direct-to-Film Performance
The Roland TY-300 direct-to-film printer has been recognized with a 2026 Pick Award from Keypoint Intelligence, earning distinction for Outstanding Direct-to-Film Performance in the 1- and 2-printhead (60–80 cm) category.
After undergoing comprehensive laboratory evaluation across image quality, color performance, durability, productivity, and usability, the TY-300 demonstrated exceptional performance in commercial DTF production environments.
Independent Testing Confirms Industry-Leading DTF Performance
Keypoint Intelligence is known for its rigorous, hands-on product testing in the digital imaging industry. In controlled evaluations, the TY-300 delivered:
- Exceptional color gamut performance on white garments
- Improved vibrancy and white ink laydown on dark fabrics
- Strong spot color accuracy across challenging brand tones
- Consistent reproduction of fine text and halftone graphics
These results position the TY-300 platform as one of the strongest performers in the rapidly expanding direct-to-film apparel market.
Wash Durability and Long-Term Garment Performance
Durability testing showed strong resistance to wash degradation. Across 20 wash-and-dry cycles, prints retained clarity with minimal color shift and no visible breakdown of fine details or halftone fills.
This level of performance is critical for commercial decorators serving retail brands, workwear clients, sportswear programs, and promotional apparel markets.
High Throughput Production Speeds
In production mode, the TY-300 achieved speeds exceeding 117 square feet per hour, with faster modes exceeding 188 square feet per hour when speed is prioritized.
The next-generation Roland TY-300i builds on this award-recognized platform with:
- Dual white ink slots for extended uninterrupted production
- Dual printhead configuration for higher throughput
- Integrated print & cut functionality
- VersaWorks 7 RIP software included
- Roland DG Connect cloud monitoring
