Sydney, Australia, 12 September, 2007 — Roland DG Corporation today announced the new EGX-350
desktop engraver, a complete, compact professional engraving solution including new Roland EngraveStudio
software.
The EGX-350 quickly engraves a wide variety of materials to create beautiful indoor and outdoor custom signs,
treasured mementos, and personalised gifts, awards, promotional items and apparel. For increased productivity
and fast turn-around of finished items, the EGX-350 is 50 percent faster than
Roland’s previous model. Upgrades include a more powerful spindle motor and an increased maximum spindle speed of 20,000 rpm.
The EGX-350 is designed for the highest quality engraving and has been enhanced with a V-Carving mode that produces an attractive hand-carved look.
To ensure easy operation and quality results, the EGX-350 also includes an automatic surface detector which
accurately detects the height of the material (Z-zero) for consistent engraving depths throughout the production
process.*1
“The EGX-350 is remarkably easy to use and highly versatile for both traditional engraving and specialty
applications,” said Matthew Landrigan, Roland DG engineering product specialist. “The EGX-350 is also
equipped with advanced features such as an automatic surface detector, allowing users to quickly
and easily produce quality products without complicated setup procedures. With the EGX-350,
users can even design templates for heat pressing rhinestones onto apparel items.”
