would I still achieve the great print quality for apparel if I get the white ink option I heard you need the cmykm option for the apparel

@StahlsTV 8 лет назад

You will most definitely achieve great print quality with the white ink option. As long as you are purchasing the machine new and select the white ink option you will be fine. If you already own the machine, you can't change your ink selection.

Can this machine be used with a MacBook? This is the kind of machine I’ve been looking for. I want the print then cut floor machine, the one I have now only cuts

@EricC1060 4 года назад

If you have an Intel MacBook you can install Windows 10 on it. Either using BootCamp (dual boot - when the Mac starts you pick if you want to boot into macOS or Windows) ... or ... use virtualization software such as Parallels or VMware. The point is, you can run Windows 10 on your Mac. Macs have been able to do this for years. Once you are booted into Windows 10 on your Mac, install and run the Roland software.

what design software i can use with the bn 20 cadworklive, inkscape, coraldraw or illustrator and which one work the best for this machine thank you

@StahlsTV 7 лет назад

Hello, CorelDRAW and Adobe Illustrator will both work with the BN-20. CadworxLIVE will not, and we aren't really familiar with InkScape. Hope this helps!

@rikyricardo6761 2 года назад

I have this printer, while it does a good job, if you have experience with wide format printer/cutters, this is much slower in both printing and cutting. Another issue is that for some reason it limits the widths of material, you can't just put anything up to it's 20" limit. I had to buy a 30" roll as it was the only size available at the time, had it cut to 20", then it turned out the printer would not accept the 10" width remnant. But it has been reliable for stickers and heat transfers, and takes large cartridges.

@StahlsTV 2 года назад

Thanks for the feedback.

@MayneDeWayne 4 года назад

Do you still use/recommend this printer? I was considering one for business, but I noticed how long it’s been since this video was created, and how long this specific printer has been on the market.

@VinoUdaBestOne 3 года назад

Its a great printer for a startup business. Its a space saver if you don't have much space. The only downside is the speed. Its not the fastest on the market but its the most accurate in their line from what I've seen. The print quality is better because it doesn't go so fast so to me its a good tradeoff for a small business. If you don't have a lot of business and you wanna put out some great quality product then its perfect for that. But if you're looking for volume, you should look into a bigger one if you have space for it.

@caillousdad5786 2 года назад

Thanks, wasn't sure if there was any practical use of white ink for t-shirts, stickers and posters. Someone mentioned a clear t-shirt transfer that was supposedly stronger than the white vinyl you print on, but apparently not so. So I will only need the BN20A, ya? Same machine without the mechanics for white/metalic for $2k cheaper? I'm just tired of 3G Opaque and JPSS, or LD sticker paper (which takes 4 weeks to completely dry, pigment ink btw) I don't wanna sell folks cheap crap on etsy.. I'd like to sell long lasting good quality product. I'm being given a lot of money, but only if I actually spend it at once.. a weird deal, but no complaints. I'm definitely gunning for this machine.

@TheDukeOfZill 3 года назад

What kind of ink does this use? I've been trying to print stickers for ages. Samsung laserjet and Epson inkjet, etc.. nothing works. The ink will smudge or scratch, as if all consumer sticker paper is one big scam. 1 month of dry time, no change. I know that commercial stickers are made on solvent printers, which are 100000000% indestructable to abrasion, moisture, constant warmth (back of a laptop or phone) and they simply do not smudge or rub/wear/fade. Will the bn20 give me these desirable results? Is this bn20 not really a regular an inkjet, but actually a solvent printer?

@StahlsTV 3 года назад

This printer uses eco-solvent ink.

@matt1191906686 3 года назад

Hi, you need to purchase an inkjet printer for consumer based sticker paper. I can promise you that will work. I use it all the time.

@peterarnold9093 8 лет назад

what about white?

@StahlsTV 8 лет назад

+Peter Arnold The white ink is used for printing on static clings as well as clear decals if you want to achieve a white color. If you would want the clings or decals to be clear, you would not have any ink printed in that area.

It's certainly slower than the larger print/cut systems. Ideally for 100+ orders you would want to go with something such as a Roland TrueVIS: www.stahls.com/printer-cutter-roland-truevis-sg if you're looking for a quick turn solution.

This is a really good printer ru-vid.comUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 . The reason I gave 4 stars for tech support (which I don't think this would classify as tech support) is because once you turn the printer on, it does require a little bit of start up time which may bother some who are in a hurry to quickly print something. To offset that though the printer prints very quickly. I would definitely purchase this printer again.
