===How does this machine work===
The Roland VersaObject MO-240 (a.k.a. 'The Mimaki') is a UV flatbed printer that uses a number of highly chemical inks to print on surfaces a normal printer cannot. The way it does this, is by moving over a subject and spraying very fine dots of ink over the material much the same way an inkjet printer does. However, unlike an inkjet print, the Roland immediately exposes the freshly sprayed ink with the UV-light attached to its printer head. The chemicals in the ink react and harden in response to the UV-light allowing you to print on a wide array of surfaces. Another unique feature of the Roland is that it can print white. Most printers cannot print white, instead relying on the whiteness in paper to accommodate the whites in your design (both the obvious white parts and the white in light colors). Because this machine can do this, it opens up a whole range of potentially printable surfaces without losing the colors of your design.
