The printer is cool but i wished they could have made it 24 inches instead of 20 inches.
Makes you buy their media. But if you belong to a trade wholesaler, they’ll cut 54” or 60” rolls to 20” and 14” rolls at no charge
Hey I know the comments on your other video people were making about your voice were harsh but honestly you’ve got the best content on UA-cam about the BN2-20A. Great work!
Thanks :)
If i wanna print and cut A6 sticker sheets, will the software be able to detect the cutlines of each picture even though the A6 sticker sheets have a colourful/patterned background?
Great Video, Thank you Melissa! Which sticker paper are you using and is the print waterproof or does it need to be laminated?
The BN series printers use ecosolvent ink that make it waterproof! Check out the materials I use here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/roland-bn-20a-and-versaworks-tutorials.html?m=1
I bought a laminator that I haven’t been able to use yet. I can’t figure out how to print only and then feed the media back into the correct spot to then cut after laminating. Would you be able to make a video on this? Or could anybody in the comments Give me some tips I love your content and I wouldn’t have been able to do the set up without you, thanks for your help!
How did you change from mm to in on the design central tab?
Thank you for the info. I'm highly interested in knowing more of the return on investment if I would add this to my shop.
Would you make a video that goes over Cost V.S. Profit. This would be highly appreciated. Thanks.
Question is when you are doing designs for shirts how do we get rid of the wite around our design. Can you do video on that
I have a video coming on that. You don't have to put the a white edge around the design at all. You can adjust the distance of the cut line to make it 0.0 right at the edge or a negative number will create a bleed.
On the bn2-20a can you make a video on daily setup? Im having issues with my printer being stuck in maitence mode.
Open the Utility and see if you have any little red alerts. Click the small button to see what the alerts are and then go through the steps there to clear them. It's usually like a manual cleaning.
@@SilhouetteSchool thank you for the response. I don't have any red alerts popping up in utility.
How did your perf cut work so perfect? The default perf cut pressure is 150gf and when I use that it jams and tears.
Sounds like your blade has too much exposed. I would also check out this video for more tips ua-cam.com/video/V7Oj0ZGE3LQ/v-deo.html
Hi there, I purchased BN2-20a. I have a quick question. It does kiss cut perfectly but it wouldn't do perfcut even if I set the line as perfcut. Is there a specific setting I should do? I set the line as perfcut and made sure it's gray before I sent to print. Thanks!
Sounds like you probably need to increase the force setting. The amount of force will depend on the material you're using
What is your approach for laminating the prints, then cutting?
I definitely need some help on this!
Question, can this model take smaller sheets like 8x11 or 6 inch wide, like the BN-20?
Yes
Hey there, do you think this machine can do really fine cuts? Like 3-5mm circles or squares within a single sticker sheet?
Yes it can cut small details with the right settings and blade. I'd use a 60 degree blade and make sure the cutting speed is on the slower side.
Any info - thoughts about printing on "Perforated Vinyl Window Film" with the BN2-20 or same type of print head. I'm curious. ◡̈
I haven't tried it yet - but definitely on the list
@@SilhouetteSchool can it be done?
Hi what are your perf cut settings? Thanks
They change, depending on the material that's being cut
Hi Melissa can you please tell me how can I go to cut immediately after print?
Yes please follow this tutorial ua-cam.com/video/3CKbsBq9vmQ/v-deo.html
Are you able to use adobe illustrator with it?
You can if you want, but Flexi for VW comes with it and makes it FAR easier and faster.
2 questions
1. Do you know when this printer will start shipping out?
2. Since it goes a lot quicker, is there a reminder available for it?
It should start shipping within the next week or so. They are available to order now. shrsl.com/47e6c I'm not sure what you mean by a reminder, but there is not a chime or anything to tell you when the printing and cutting is complete if that is what you are asking.
@@SilhouetteSchool sorry I meant a rewinder. Like a take up reel
Hey Melissa, I've been watching all your videos. jsut got my Bn2-20 in, trying to do these Perf cut on top of the contour cuts, but can't seem to get the perf cuts to even show up when it comes to pirnt. Any ideas? I tried to look at my settings in Versaworks, but when i go there, there's no perf cut settings.
Yes after you make the cut contour line in Flexi then you need to right click and pick .. .I think it's called "Release path" and then you can add a second line and set that for perf cut. I don't have my PC in front of me to show you exactly. I have a video I plan to do on this process.
@@SilhouetteSchool I jsut tried this.. My cut is bad lol. looks like a rough cut. not clean at all. any suggestions
@@MinhtotheMaxAre you using the 60 degree blade? You need it to do perf cuts.
I'll have to check that out! Im using the default blade that it came with@@j.rabbitcrafts
@@MinhtotheMax It come with the 45 degree blade.
Is it easy to add cutlines around a jpeg? Thanks
You can as well - I will do a video on that too
Hi Melissa! I have a quick question, since this machine is very similar to the BY 20, can I use
Siser EasyPSV Printable Gloss Adhesive Vinyl for cars windows decals? Thank you!! I am part of your school as well!
No you can not
@@SilhouetteSchool Thank you!
Hi Melissa, Thanks for your recommendation, I purchased BN2-20A. It's been working great and I see a lot of potential. I have a quick question. Is there a way to adjust header off set amount when printing? The print always starts 3inches offset from the top and I feel it's a lot of waste. Thanks!
You can use the Move function in the Utility, but it will cause an error if there's not enough lead for the material (there's a sensor)..it really needs that little bit of "extra". I would suggest leaving it..with that said if you don't sheet cut after each job it will just start immediately under or wherever you set the basepoint. This video will show you how to use Move ua-cam.com/video/yVHuzKNp5Oo/v-deo.html
Awesome! Thanks for the response. I will go though all of your contents over the weekend. Best.@@SilhouetteSchool
Got it. Thanks for the reply! Got one more question. Is there kiss cut and die cut settings I can download for different mediums? I'm trying various mediums such as removable and transparent. It's hard to take out stickers. Best.@@SilhouetteSchool
@@gilryongsongYou have to do cut tests on all the different media types. Write the settings down somewhere for future reference. I would suggest doing the cut tests every time you get a new roll and periodically as your blades will dull with usage.
Can you put a bleed on the graphics?
Yes
The camera was in too far to see all the options for both kiss cut and die cut. Also where do you adjust for die cut force. Thank you. Nick napier
If you need to adjust force you can do that in Versaworks in the Job's Cut Settings for Perf Cut
any idea if they are going to roll out a new dtf machine too?
Can't say at this time
How is this ink different then DTF transfers? Ive been seeing the eco solvent but not sure what it is exactly. Will the transfers work on dark fabric?
This will explain the differences between a DTF printer and an ecosolvent printer. www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2023/01/roland-bn-20-vs-bn-20d-dtf-printer-side.html
@@SilhouetteSchool you still use a heat press to apply any transfers with the ecosolvent ink, correct? Ty for the info.
One of the wonderful things about an ecosolvent printer is that you can print on MANY kinds of materials. Vinyl, heat transfer vinyl, window cling, banners etc so you don't have to heat press ALL materials you can print on with the BN2-20 or BN2-20A.
@@SilhouetteSchool Actually, you can print stickers on BN-20D using for example Orajet 1917 it's a PVC for water-based inks. Use Generic CMYK mode for this.
What if I need to save a bigger offset for my laser as an svg ? Can I do that in flexi? 🥰
You want to export from Flexi as an SVG with an offset line and then the laser just cuts that offset line, right? Is that what you're asking?
Yes! I’ll just need to save the offset line in an svg format to put it in my laser.
how about the printhead? does it still dry out if u dont use the printer for a few days?
Yes! This one is very forgiving and one of the reasons I do not get the white ink option. Much less maintenance
I dont understand the link with white color, Can you please explain ?
Why is it when i do the perf cut it cuts it all jagged on the edges??
I would recommend using a 60 degree blade.
@silhouetteschool Hi Melisa, would you please be willing to measure the base dimensions? I'm mostly interested in depth, basically what could be the lowest bench depth to accommodate the printer. I assume Roland is listing the biggest dimensions only and I can't find anywhere any technical drawing of the printer showing exact measurements. Thank you.
Do you mean the position of the feet?
@@SilhouetteSchoolyes but also the depth from wall to the front panel of the printer at the bottom.
@@MartinDoubek_ArnieX It's 18 inches.
@@j.rabbitcrafts awesome, so that should fit perfectly on 48cm deep bench. Thank you so much ;)
@@MartinDoubek_ArnieX I would recommend a 61 cm top. The distance from the back of the machine to the end of the media roller is about 56 cm.
Can flexi designer work with bn20 aswell?
Flexi Designer will, but not this special VW edition of Flexi Designer. it's only available with the Roland BN2 machines
@@SilhouetteSchool I see, thank you very much.
If you buy BN2 then you will have Flexi Designer and since it can export to PDF you should be able to use it with old BN. This should be tested though.
Which table are you using ? Can’t find the right feet
This is the exact table it's sitting on amzn.to/4axJ9fb
@@SilhouetteSchool Thank you so much. Love your channel L)
Hey Melissa, just got my Bn2-20A, can you please make a video on how to make a sticker sheet, thank you!
It’s shown in this video.
Great video Melissa! I am assuming that there is not a white toner option for this...correct? Also, do you need to laminate the stickers with this ink? If I were to laminate, can you feed the media back into the machine and have it cut the stickers as accurately?
Yes there is an option with White ink. It's the BN2-20. You can find it here shrsl.com/47e6e
I have the same question regarding lamination, did you get an answer?
@@ogmouthpieces Yes. You can laminate and feed it back through the machine and it will cut it.
However, I do not know if lamination is needed unless you expect the product to be in a high traffic usage. So say a sticker on the tumbler you could need / want to laminate to help ensure longevity.
@@SilhouetteSchool It's my understanding that the white ink models always take more maintenance?
@@briantheodore1451you always need to laminate eco solvent prints are they’ll fade real quick.
Will this work with a MAC?
No the software is PC only. I use my Mac to do as much as I can then transfer to my PC via G Drive
@@SilhouetteSchool ughhhhhh I wish they would switch this. I want to buy this but I hate PCs
This is pretty much the case with all RIP softwares.
Does it really weigh 60 kg?
Yes seems right
It seems to be working very slow.
You lost me. You keep saying this machine is faster than itself. What does that mean. Is this the bn-20A or not ???? 4:11 of the Video you say this machine doesn’t do things think the Bn-20 and the Bn-20a do
No, this is not the BN-20A. This is the BN2-20A and that's what I'm saying - that this machine is faster than the BN2-20A.
