The BN-20 packs everything into one, powerful, profit-producing package. With award-winning eco-solvent inks including metallic and white options, a range of material compatibility and integrated contour cutting, the BN-20 is easily the most versatile print device in its class. The BN-20 is perfect for creating t-shirt graphics, poster prints, stickers and decals – all from the comfort of your desktop.
Roland Eco-Sol MAX ink offers fast drying time, high density, a wide colour gamut, rugged scratch resistance, a low cost per square foot and broad media support. The BN-20 can be set up in for printing both standard and luxury items. ECO-SOL MAX inks are GREENGUARD Gold certified, to meet some of the world's most rigorous standards for use in schools and healthcare environments.
All functionality of the BN-20 is handled through the included Roland VersaWorks RIP software which allows users to efficiently prepare artwork for both print & cut functions with ease. An intuitive device, the BN-20 simplifies print production and helps users easily manage output and costs by monitoring replacement of consumable parts like wipers and contour cutting blades. The BN-20 is connected via USB interface for ease of use.
Not only does the BN-20 print quality graphics up to 1440 dpi, but it cuts them as well! This means you can create labels, decals, t-shirt transfers and other products that are cut to the unique compositions of
your designs. You can also print and cut laminated graphics as part of a Quadralign® optical registration system workflow that automatically compensates for skew and distortion— remove your prints, laminate them and reload them for cutting.
Orange and Green process color options allow you to hit specific Orange to Red areas and Blue to Green areas with approximately 260 new spot color references now available in the new Roland DG Color Library. Specific Pantone® or DIC colors that were previously difficult to match can now be easily achieved.
Reach new areas of color, including purples, reds, greens, and other challenging hues— elevating all your print output with True Rich Color 2. Improve reproduction of specific brand colors and combine
neutral grays, smooth gradations, and natural skin tones to produce color quality of incomparable realism and complexity.
