Despite a low-price tag that makes it comparable to “art and graphics printers” on the market, BN-20 printer/cutters are serious machines that offer seriously great results. Used by everyone from hobbyists who are looking to take their home business to the next level, to graphic design professionals who need quality and versatility from a desktop device to businesses that want to create custom graphics from their stores and offices, BN-20 technology empowers creative people to do amazing things.
Not only do BN-20 devices print quality graphics up to 1440 dpi, but they can automatically contour cut 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.
A state-of-the-art cutting operation provides consistent results and isn’t prone to the problems inherent in craft cutter devices with simple up/down electronic controls. Instead, they ensure super-crisp cutting results on a huge diversity of products — supporting rolls up-to 20-inches wide by 50 ft. and weighing up-to 13 lbs.
BN-20 devices have been engineered to make print production easy for users of all skill levels. In addition to a simplified control panel operation, it includes VersaWorks 6 RIP software, with powerfully simple RIP production tools, for managing all your print and cut output.
HARLEQUIN RIP dual core engine and 64-bit native processing for enhanced speed and file handling.
Easy drag-and-drop interface allows you to quickly add jobs to the print queue.
Add cut lines directly in the RIP— change vector data into cut line data.
Integrated spot color libraries include Pantone and Roland DG Color libraries.
A variety of profiles designed for different types of application, enable high-quality print output without difficult settings.
Intuitive tiling, cropping, nesting and other features that have made VersaWorks the world’s favorite software RIP
For over 35 years, Roland DG has earned a reputation for building long-lasting, high-performance devices. BN-20 devices are no exception and feature legendary Roland DG reliability for continuous, economical production—all backed with first-rate customer service and support.

Please note: Considering that you will be using software such as Illustrator, we recommend that you use as high performance computer as possible to reduce RIP processing time. We also recommend using a hard disk that has large enough capacity, as print files are often tens of GB in size (or larger) when data is high resolution.
