Roland VersaStudio BN-20

Distinguishing Features

• Compact 20-inch inkjet with integrated printing and contour cutting
• A versatile machine for printing t-shirt graphics, decals, stickers, signs, posters and more
• Ink options include CMMYK, CMYK+White and CMYK+Metallic Silver
• Legendary Roland reliability for continuous, economical production

Take Control of Cutting

Combined with 300 gram cutting capability, the integrated contour cutting of the BN-20 is consistent and virtually eliminates common problems inherent in drag knife technology with simple up/down electronic controls. Ingenious cutting carriage technology prevents bounce against the media if the force is set too high for the substrate.

Low Maintenance Cost, High Reliability

Built with Roland’s legendary reliability, the BN-20 features a gold-plated head to reduce static and prevent clogging and a patent-pending wiper system to decrease wear and tear on the print head and prolong its life by reducing buildup. A patent-pending automated Ink Circulation System reduces waste, for dramatically lower running costs while ensuring exceptional image quality over the long term.

Easy to Load Media Feed

A simplified media feed system automatically aligns roll media for printing. This intuitive system detects and adjusts the pinch roll wheels to the width of the installed media, ensuring proper placement and tracking. The BN-20 supports roll media from 6 inches up to 20 inches in width and weighing up to 13 pounds.

R-Works

An entry-level design package, R-Works allows users to import photos and images for insertion into design layouts for creating custom print and cut graphics. R-Works also includes a vector art library of stock designs.

Roland VersaWorks

This easy-to-use RIP software is the hub of production for the BN-20 and allows even novice users to take full advantage of advanced capabilities. Proving that powerful doesn't have to mean complicated, VersaWorks enables you to manage all your print and cut output, including ICC profile support, ink level adjustment tools, proofing capabilities, error diffusion, variable data printing and cropping, tiling and nesting options.
