Roland MPX-70 Now A Complete Business Solution

LAKE FOREST, CA - The MPX-70 Photo Impact Printer is now Roland BizTools® Certified, making it a complete solution that comes with everything required to start and run a successful business. This includes a smart business guide loaded with market research and case studies, bundled software, materials, merchandising support and technical assistance.

“The MPX-70 is our first BizTools® certified product,” said David Olson, Roland ASD business development manager. “After customers register the product, we literally ship them an entire business in a box. It is packed full of everything needed to launch a successful personalization business.”

The MPX-70 permanently imprints photos into everything from jewelry and awards to key chains and Zippo® lighters. The high-end desktop device removes no material and operates quietly, making it ideal for jewelry stores, mall kiosks and photography studios.

Roland MPX-70 BizTools® include the following:

Materials Starter Kit
The MPX-70 materials starter kit comes with $2,000 of built-in profit potential. The starter kit is valued at $200 and includes a wide variety of the most popular blanks, from dog tags and charms to pendants and chains. They come in a full range of attractive metals, including gold and rhodium-plate. Once personalized, the starter kit materials enable retailers to earn up to $2000 very quickly.

Merchandising Kit
The Roland MPX-70 merchandising kit makes it easy to show potential customers the latest personalized products. A handsome display case shows off the MPX-70’s brilliant, photo-realistic output. This powerful marketing tool also comes with window posters, counter cards and brochures.

Software
Bundled Dr. METAZA2 photo editing software makes it easy to manage images and add text, frames and borders. It even allows users to remove backgrounds and rotate text and images. The software imports data files in JPEG or BMP format and accepts data from digital cameras and compatible scanners. No other program is needed.

Setup & Training
With a USB port, the MPX-70 sets up as easily as a desktop printer. Once up and running, customers are ready to imprint in just three quick steps. Import an image via scanner or digital camera. Layout and edit their graphics. And press print!

As if this three-step workflow was not easy enough, Roland has included a training DVD for new users. Narrated by Rick Rivera, Roland ASD engraving & cutting application engineer, the video demonstrates each step of the process. It also covers tips and tricks that will help customers produce best possible output.
