The new EU2-1000MF delivers higher productivity and a more predictable production
workflow for sign and display businesses.

IRVINE, Calif., July 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Roland DG Corporation, the world’s leading provider of digital printing solutions, today announced the North American launch of the EU2-1000MF, a next-generation large-format UV flatbed printer designed to simplify rigid media production by enabling efficient, direct-to-board printing in high-output environments.

Developed for businesses producing signage, retail displays, exhibitions, and interior panels, the EU2-1000MF removes the complexity of traditional roll-to-roll print, laminate and mount workflows. By allowing users to move directly from file to finished board, the new flatbed printer helps reduce manual handling, minimize rework, and deliver a more controlled, reliable production process.

Simplifying Board Production From File to Finished Output

Workflow simplification is at the core of the EU2-1000MF. Direct-to-board UV flatbed printing eliminates multiple production stages associated with roll printing, laminating, and mounting, enabling print businesses to streamline operations while improving consistency and turnaround times.

By reducing labor-intensive steps and material handling, the EU2-1000MF supports a more predictable production workflow, helping operators maintain quality and efficiency even in demanding, high-volume environments.

Built for Production, Designed for Consistency

The EU2-1000MF is engineered for daily, production-scale board printing. Designed to deliver stable output and consistent image quality, it provides a dependable flatbed solution for businesses handling rigid signage, display panels, and decorative applications.

Supporting media sizes up to 48 in. x 96 in. (1,220 mm x 2,440 mm)* and materials up to 3.74 in. (95 mm) thick, the EU2-1000MF accommodates a wide range of rigid substrates, making it suitable for both established flatbed users and screen printers transitioning to digital production.

Higher Output Without Added Complexity

Built with a new high-definition printhead, the EU2-1000MF delivers approximately 1.5 times higher productivity than the previous EU-1000MF, while maintaining image quality and operational approachability. Despite the performance increase, pricing remains unchanged from the outgoing model, offering a clear step forward without disruption.

This balance of higher output and familiar operation enables businesses to increase capacity and efficiency without adding complexity to existing workflows.

“With the EU2-1000MF, we focused on helping print businesses simplify how rigid media work gets done,” said Ryugo Nimura, Executive Officer, Global Sales and Marketing Division, Roland DG. “By moving directly from file to finished board, users can reduce manual steps, improve consistency, and increase output – all while maintaining the stable, repeatable quality needed for daily production.”

A Complete Flatbed Production System

The EU2-1000MF is positioned as part of a complete production ecosystem, combining a UV flatbed printer optimized for rigid and thick materials with VersaWorks 7 RIP software for organized, accurate and repeatable output, new E-US inks that deliver controlled running costs and stable performance, and Roland DG service and warranty support designed for production environments. Together, these elements provide print businesses with a reliable, end-to-end solution for efficient board production.

The EU2-1000MF is available now in the U.S., Canada, and Latin America through authorized Roland DGA dealers.

* The default setting is 44 in. x 96 in. (1,120 mm × 2,440 mm), and it can be expanded to 48 in. x 96 in. (1,220 mm x 2,440 mm) by a service engineer.

Racquel Oden to Receive The ELC’s 2026 Achievement Award for Leadership in Financial Services and Expanding Opportunity

Published

HSBC executive recognized for a career building businesses, developing talent, and widening access to wealth and financial prosperity

WASHINGTON, Oct. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Executive Leadership Council (ELC) will honor Racquel Oden, HSBC’s U.S. Head of International Wealth and Premier Banking and Private Banking, with the 2026 ELC Achievement Award at The ELC Recognition Gala on October 30, 2026, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland.

With more than 25 years of financial services experience, Oden has built a career at the intersection of business growth, client leadership, and talent development. At HSBC, she leads businesses serving affluent and globally connected clients in the United States, bringing a client-first approach to one of the world’s largest financial services organizations.

“Racquel brings a rare combination of commercial discipline and genuine investment in people,” said Michael C. Hyter, President and CEO of The Executive Leadership Council. “She understands that leadership is measured in business results, certainly, but also in the people you prepare for greater responsibility and the doors you make easier for others to open. Her career reflects the kind of enterprise leadership The ELC has championed for 40 years.”

Oden’s career spans some of the world’s most prominent financial institutions. Prior to HSBC, she served as a Managing Director at JPMorgan Chase, where she led Network Expansion and held leadership roles across national sales, Consumer Banking and Wealth Management. She previously spent eight years at Merrill Lynch in several Managing Director roles and more than a decade at UBS in senior leadership positions. She began her Wall Street career in equity trading at Morgan Stanley.

Throughout that journey, Oden has described her leadership philosophy as one rooted in service and in helping people become the strongest versions of themselves. That philosophy also informs her work to expand access to wealth, opportunity, and financial fluency.

Her leadership extends across corporate and civic institutions. Oden serves on the corporate board of National Life Group and chairs the Board of Directors of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund. She also serves on the boards of the Apollo Theater and the New York City Police Foundation.

Her honors include the National Urban League’s 2026 Women of Power award and recognition among Barron’s Most Influential Women in Finance, American Banker’s Most Powerful Women in Finance and Forbes’ 50 Over 50.

Oden holds a Bachelor of Arts from James Madison University and an MBA from Hampton University.

The ELC Achievement Award recognizes corporate executives whose careers reflect exceptional professional accomplishment, leadership and impact. Oden joins a distinguished group of past ELC honorees whose influence has reached across companies, industries and communities.

The ELC Marks 40 Years of Developing Leaders
Oden will receive the Achievement Award during a milestone year for The Executive Leadership Council. Founded in 1986, The ELC is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2026, marking four decades of developing leaders who perform at the highest levels of business and strengthening the leadership pipeline that sustains that excellence.

The 2026 ELC Recognition Gala will take place Friday, October 30, at the Gaylord National Resort & Convention Center in National Harbor, Maryland. Hosted by Emmy Award-winning television journalist and Entertainment Tonight co-host Kevin Frazier, the black-tie celebration will feature a special musical performance by 10-time GRAMMY Award winner Chaka Khan.

The Gala is the signature fundraising event of The ELC’s 2026 Gala Week, October 28–31, which will bring together more than 3,000 members, students, senior executives and business leaders as The ELC celebrates its 40th anniversary.

Gala Week is designed to span the leadership journey. The Honors Symposium connects ELC Scholars with senior executives and hiring managers as they prepare to enter the workplace. The Mid-Level Managers’ Symposium develops high-performing professionals preparing for greater leadership responsibility. Corporate Board Navigator helps ELC members prepare for corporate board service.
