Roland DG VersaSTUDIO GS2-24
Roland DG's current desktop vinyl cutter: 584 mm maximum cutting width, 30–500 gf blade force and servo drive — specified from Roland DGA's product page and the April 2026 datasheet, including the warranty's registration small print.
What it is
A 24 in-class desktop vinyl cutter using a digitally controlled servo motor and media-moving cutting, taking rolls or sheets from 50 mm up to 700 mm wide and cutting up to 584 mm wide. Ships with a blade, blade holder, roller base and Roland's CutStudio software.
Who it may be relevant for: Shops cutting heat-transfer vinyl and self-adhesive sign vinyl at desktop scale — apparel decorators, sign makers, and production add-on stations.
UK market notes
- The UK is served by Roland DG's European site (rolanddg.co.uk redirects to rolanddg.eu/en-gb), where the GS2-24 is a live current product with an EU brochure.
- UK warranty: the en-gb product page states "Two-years RolandCare Original warranty included", while Roland's generic en-gb Care Plans page describes 12 months of Roland DG Care Original Warranty on every new device — both official statements are reproduced; the US 3-year registration-conditional warranty does not apply to UK purchases.
- The en-GB product page states the dedicated AC adapter's input (100–240 V AC, 50/60 Hz) and output (24 V DC, 2.7 A). The bundled blade's part number is not named on the EU/UK sources, which list a blade and blade holder; ZEC-U5032 is named only on US documentation.

Manufacturer claims
Limitations
- Roland's EU and US collateral publish no operating-environment or acoustic figures for the GS2-24.
- Roland's own en-GB pages state the UK warranty differently (two years on the product page, 12 months on the generic Care Plans page) — confirm before purchase.
- EU/UK sources include a blade and blade holder without naming the part number (US documentation names ZEC-U5032), and the physical UK mains plug supplied is not specified — confirm box contents with your dealer.
- Sold as VersaSTUDIO GS2-24; listings calling it CAMM-1 GS2-24 are using the predecessor's series name.
