The EPSON A3+ roll to roll Digital printer configuration answers a simple production reality: many of the most profitable packaging products don’t arrive as sheets they arrive as rolls. Wrapping paper, label stock, kraft rolls, paper tablecloths, food wrap, and continuous bag stock all flow through converting lines by the meter, and this machine prints them the same way: unwinding, printing full-color CMYK through Epson’s stationary PrecisionCore line head, and rewinding continuously, for as long as the roll lasts.
Built on the same heat-free WF-C20590 head engine as our sheet-fed A3+ machine, it brings water-based, food-safe digital printing to roll workflows at a fraction single pass digital printer of the cost of conventional roll presses and with zero setup per design.

No length limit means new products. Sheet-fed machines print what fits the table; roll machines print until the roll ends. Repeating patterns for wrapping paper, continuous branding on kraft rolls, and meter-priced printed materials become single-file jobs — design once, print kilometers.
One operator, continuous output. Load the roll, start the job, and the unwind–print–rewind cycle runs itself with tension control keeping registration true. Where sheet workflows need constant loading, roll workflows need supervision — a different labor equation entirely.
Digital removes the plate wall. Conventional roll printing (flexo, gravure) demands cylinders and plates that only make sense at massive volume. This machine prints a 50-meter custom wrapping paper order as economically per meter as a 5,000-meter run — the entire short-run roll market that conventional presses refuse becomes yours.
Roll printing punishes moving-carriage printers: the material advances continuously, so a shuttling head means stop-start compromises. Epson’s stationary line head spans the full print width and fires as the material flows beneath it — the same single-pass architecture inside high-speed industrial presses, at accessible scale.
The heat-free PrecisionCore MicroTFP chip places droplets at micron accuracy perfectly round dots, precise placement — which is what keeps repeating patterns seamless across meters and small label text crisp roll after roll. And because the head never heats the ink, power consumption stays low and head stress stays minimal through long continuous jobs.
Kraft paper rolls and food wrap, custom wrapping and gift paper, continuous label stock and sticker rolls, paper tablecloths and placemats, bakery and deli wrap, paper bag stock before converting, banner paper, ribbon and packaging tape stock, and continuous stationery any absorbent paper-based roll material up to 329 mm print width.
Water-based dye ink delivers maximum vibrancy for gift wrap and décor products; pigment ink adds water and light resistance for food wrap and packaging that faces handling. Food-grade formulations cover direct food-contact applications and the open ink system keeps every option at market consumable prices.
For non-absorbent films, vinyl, and laminates, our UV-based [Industrial Roll to Roll] platform with Epson i3200U or Ricoh heads is the correct chemistry we’ll route you to the right machine during consultation.
Gift wrap and stationery brands printing seasonal and custom designs on demand instead of gambling on imported inventory. Bakeries, cafés, and food brands with branded food-safe wrap and deli paper at short-run economics. Label and sticker producers serving the custom market where every order is a different file. Packaging converters printing bag and wrap stock in-house before forming. Event and personalization businesses selling printed-to-order rolls names, dates, logos at premium margins with zero setup cost.
Continuous printing lives on tension: the platform’s unwind and rewind systems hold the web steady through the print zone, so registration doesn’t drift across a 500-meter job. Automatic media guidance corrects lateral wander, the continuous ink supply alarms before running dry mid-roll, and the steel frame keeps head-to-web geometry fixed through long production days.
RobotJet’s own control board and RIP software our in-house foundation since 2015 handle seamless pattern tiling, ICC color, and job queuing with every feature included, no license fees, and lifetime updates.
Choose the EPSON A3+ Roll to Roll if your products are absorbent paper rolls wrap, kraft, labels, food paper and you want continuous water-based printing at accessible cost.
Choose the [EPSON I3200U / RICOH Roll to Roll] if your rolls are film, vinyl, or laminate requiring UV chemistry, or your volumes demand heavier industrial head options.
Choose the sheet-fed [WF-C20590 Epson A3+] if your materials arrive as sheets and boxes rather than rolls.
Send a sample of your roll stock with your artwork we’ll print meters of it and ship the roll back to you as proof.
The sample process for roll buyers is literal: your material, printed continuously, rewound, and couriered to you inspect the registration across the full length yourself. Then a live video acceptance test of your machine before shipment from Beijing, itemized FOB pricing, remote installation, operator training, a 2-year warranty, and free lifetime support. RobotJet equipment runs in over 120 countries; see roll printing demonstrated at the events in our exhibition gallery.
What is the EPSON A3+ roll to roll printer used for? It prints continuous full color designs onto flexible paper roll materials kraft rolls, wrapping paper, label stock, food wrap, and bag stock up to 329 mm wide with unlimited length, using food-safe water based inks and no plates or setup costs.
Is there really no length limit? Correct the machine prints as long as the roll lasts, with tension control maintaining registration throughout. Repeating patterns tile seamlessly across the entire run.
Can it print food-safe wrap? Yes water-based inks meet food packaging standards with food-grade formulations for direct contact applications like bakery wrap and deli paper.
How do repeating patterns stay aligned over long runs? The stationary line head prints as the web advances under precise tension control, and the RIP software tiles patterns seamlessly no carriage movement means no stitching errors across meters.
What roll widths and materials does it accept? Any absorbent paper-based roll stock with print coverage up to 329 mm wide. For film, vinyl, and laminated rolls, our UV roll platform is the correct match send a material sample and we’ll confirm chemistry.
What does printing cost per meter? With one liter covering approximately 200 m² and open-system ink at market rates, the ink cost per printed meter is a small fraction of what custom roll products retail for we’ll calculate your exact per-meter economics in the quote.
Ship us your roll stock and artwork we’ll print continuous meters, rewind it, and courier the evidence to your door with an itemized quote within 24 hours.
