Roland VersaSTUDIO BN-20 and BN-20A

The VersaSTUDIO BN-20/A provides both large format-printing and CNC knife-cutting in a neat, desktop package. This compact print-and-cut technology allows for superb results and maximum versatility.

The BN-20/A is what design departments have been waiting for! A neat desktop machine which delivers durable, high-quality vinyl prints results then cut out the design in one seamless operation. TechSoft are delighted to introduce this breakthrough in print and cut technology from Roland DG.

The BN-20/A is (in effect) two machines in one. As a large-format printer, it uses advanced Eco-Sol inkjet technology, so low-odour, high quality and durability is assured. As a knife-cutter the BN-20/A hasthe knife cutting and optical alignment features of the hugely popular Roland CAMM-1 range. The BN-20/A can be controlled directly from TechSoft Design V3 and output can be print only (for banners or posters), cut only (for vinyl media, stencils, etc.) or print-and-cut (for printed stickers, labels and custom graphics).

TechSoft supply a wide range of media for the BN-20/A so production can target a broad customer base. For textiles, heat-transfer media can be printed in vibrant colour and then contour-cut ready for heat pressing to the garment. Bright graphics on dark backgrounds - no problem! On purchase, you must decide whether you want CMYK, or need Metallic Silver ink for metallic and pearlescent effects, or White ink for faithful reproduction of more subtle shades.

As a wide format printer, the BN-20/A is a valuable, versatile resource for creating banners, posters and artwork.

The BN-20/A will handle media up to 505mm width so will be ideal for producing batch runs of vinyl graphics from roll material. In-house production of window signage, promotional stickers, vehicle wraps and floor graphics has never been easier or so affordable.

For packaging work, you will need our specially formulated Printable Card for Eco-Sol Inks, output is best handled in two operations. Thicker media needs more time to let the print dry (whilst drying the machine can of course be used to print other jobs) so best results are achieved by printing with crop marks, allowing drying time and then cutting using BN-20’s optical registration system.

The BN-20 and BN-20A deliver superb print quality using CMYK ink technology. The BN-20 machine adds a fifth ink – either metallic silver, or white.

Note of Warning: The BN-20/A colour configuration cannot be changed after purchase so choose carefully!

BN-20A 4 Colour
Only want to print in CMYK, no problem. The machine can output direct from TechSoft Design V3 which is usually the preferred option for schools.

BN-20 Metallic Silver Ink
Metallic silver ink provides the same ‘mask’ but adds a further dimension. Metallic silver print resembles polished-chrome and, once overprinted in colour, shines through to give any number of stunning pearlescent or metallic effects. The machine can output direct from TechSoft Design V3 which is usually the preferred option for schools.

BN-20 White Ink
The white ink option allows white images to be printed onto any media colour and provides a mask for overprinting. This allows faithful, vibrant colour reproduction on dark, pastel or even black media. The BN-20 white ink machine cannot output directly from TechSoft Design V3. Output for the white option is via Roland VersaWorks software which is supplied with the machine.
