Roland DGA Expands Media Lineup with New Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas and View Thru Adhesive Film

Versatile new products deliver professional quality, flexibility, and performance for décor, signage, and retail applications
Published: October 30, 2025

Irvine, California — Roland DGA, a leading provider of wide-format digital imaging solutions and a Roland DG Americas company, has introduced two new additions to its expanding media portfolio: Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas (ESM-SGAC) and View Thru Adhesive Film (ESM-VTAF). These premium substrates enhance the company’s extensive lineup of high-quality media for print service providers seeking innovative, versatile, and durable solutions.

Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas: Professional Texture Meets Easy Application

Designed for eco-solvent, latex/resin, and UV ink platforms, the new Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas delivers a professional, gallery-quality texture ideal for the photographic reproduction and interior décor markets.

The material’s proprietary synthetic mounting adhesive allows canvas prints to be mounted almost anywhere — eliminating the need for stretcher bars or gasket framing. Users can apply prints directly to a range of challenging flat surfaces such as Ecor, HDF, aluminum, glass, rigid PVC, Masonite board, and polycarbonate with a simple, wrinkle-free application process.

“Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas provides greater impact, versatility, and tear resistance than paper-based media,” said Dave Hawkes, Media Product Manager at Roland DGA. “It enables print professionals to deliver stunning, professional-quality wall art and décor quickly and efficiently.”

The material’s semi-gloss finish reduces glare, enhancing visual appeal and perceived value compared to high-gloss vinyl. It can also be rolled and shipped, reducing freight costs and simplifying installation.

Available Sizes:

  • 20-inch and 30-inch widths (50-foot rolls)
  • 60-inch width (100-foot roll)

Applications: Wall murals, signage, retail displays, POP graphics, temporary or permanent installations

View Thru Adhesive Film: Privacy and Impact Combined

Also debuting in the Roland DGA media lineup is the View Thru Adhesive Film, a universally printable 80/20 perforated one-way vision media designed for glass installations in both commercial and residential settings.

This 6.5 mil PVC film features removable adhesive and an 80/20 print-to-hole ratio with a 1.5 mm perforation pattern, offering privacy for interiors while maintaining clear visibility for occupants. Ideal for use in offices, stores, medical facilities, and schools, the film allows for creative expression, brand messaging, and sun protection all without sacrificing functionality.

Available Sizes:

  • 20-inch x 40-foot rolls
  • 30-inch x 82-foot rolls
  • 60-inch x 82-foot rolls

Shelf Life: 1 year

“With both of these new offerings, we continue to expand the possibilities for our users,” added Hawkes. “Roland DGA is dedicated to providing print professionals not only with world-class printing technology but also with high-performance media that help them deliver outstanding results every time.”

Both Semi-Gloss Adhesive Canvas and View Thru Adhesive Film are available now through Roland DGA’s authorized dealer network and at the Roland DGA Online Store.
