How to Cut after Lamination- Roland BN2-20A and BN2-20
Просмотров 3,3 тыс.5 месяцев назад
In this tutorial I will guide you through a print, laminate, and cut job. I am using Flexidesigner VesraStudio Edition and Versaworks for the Roland BN2-20 and Roland BN2-20A.
I still hate buying the bn2 20. I should have gone for Bn2 20A.
Don't let it stress you out. If the white ink is troublesome, you can use another magenta ink cartridge in its place. That'll essentially make it a 20A.
gracias
De nada. Gracias por su tiempo.
Do you have to change your perf cut settings to cut when you laminate? Can I use the same settings I use when I don't laminate?
Hello Veronica. Thanks for watching. Yes, you will have to increase the force when cutting through laminated vinyl, as opposed to vinyl alone. I suggest you run cutting tests on the blank space at the beginning of your prints.
Hello, I do have the bn2 20. with the white ink. Is there any chance I can compensate the RED in this printer? Because the color is not that vibrant like in the bn2 20a. Thank you !
Hello and thanks for watching. Are you experiencing issues with only red?
@@j.rabbitcrafts hello. Well, I wish I can have an email to send you to see .. there are white lines when the printer drop them prints when adding a new roll in the printer. Monstly Magenta is with white lines. The other ones looks ok.
@@trustgaming_shorts You can find my email in my home page. I'll try to help you out as much as I can. Thank you.
@@j.rabbitcrafts mail sent.
do you know if this process will work for the BN-20A?
I don't. Wouldn't hurt to try it out. If it does work, let me know. It will be helpful for other viewers with the BN-20A. Thanks.
@@j.rabbitcrafts will do. Once I have everything set up I will test everything out
Your videos are really helpfull all the time for me, please make a video to how to make colour profile in VW Thanks
Thank you. I'm glad they help. Are you referring to ICC profiles?

Love this video but I am having a problem grouping. When I go back to my selection arrow it is moving my graphic but keeping the cut line in place so I can't group it.
Have you tried selecting the graphics and cut line, and then aligning them vertically and horizontally?
Thank you
@@SheWhoRemainz You’re welcome. Thanks for watching.
Simply set your PerfCutContour lines with an offset of -0.001, and you should be able to use PDF without issues. I use this method regularly. This problem has been around for 20 years and still persists because the developers are lazy. This is what someone told me.
Yes, that will work if you are not adding an offset or outline to the design in Flexi. If I want a white outline/border on my design, I usually just add it in Flexidesigner.
I found out versaworks has a 20 year old bug that if your perfcut lines are incomplete, add a perfcut line in flexidesigner and make it with an offset of -0.001.
Jrabbit how do you do contur cut then perf cut, don't you need to adjust your blade depth between cuts? Keep up the good work, I love your videos and am definitely sold on the roland bn2 20a.
Yes. Once you apply the contour cut and perf cut to your design, you will open up your file in VersaWorks and under "cut conditions" you will be able to adjust the contour settings and perf settings separately.
Jrabbit, got it thar makes sense. What I am not sure about is ...say you have a conture cut then you have a perf cut on top of that, do you pause the machine after it does conture cut to then physically adjust your blade a little deeper in the blade holder?
@@tonycalvetti2633 No need to pause the machine. The force value determines the depth of the cut. Just make sure you set up your blade in the holder correctly.
Great video and channel. Do you know if Flexi allows you to change the type of cut line on a per segment basis? So say if you have a circle that is set to perf cut, can you edit only the bottom half of that circle to be a contour cut?
Thanks, very helpful

I’m having hard time cutting the htv out it keeps dragging on the vinyl can ur help me
@@francinemarquez7084 Can you describe the "dragging on the vinyl"?
This video is golden!! I will be purchasing a 24 inch printer and a 25 inch cold laminator soon and out of all of the videos that I have watched and re-watched, not 1 person gave this imperative information that you have given in this video! If I could give this video 1000 likes, I definitely would! Thank you so much!
@@T_Nice Thank you so much. I appreciate you watching. Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks for the info you are very helpful. Keep the great job. They are not much detailed information about this machine out there. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS 😊😊
I'm glad it helped. Thanks for watching.
Thanks so much for your videos … I just got me BN2-20A a few months ago. Your videos are very helpful please keep them coming.
Thank you. I’m glad you found them helpful.
Can you do a video with making full color t-shirts prints …. ?
for me, use a printer only to print... to cut I use a plotter. work will be faster
That is definitely faster.
Thanks for the video, you first export from flexi in a pdf format, then unload it into design studio?
Yes. It can be an eps file also.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome!
Did you ever had a problem on longer jobs 10feet or so, for the media to kind of shift to the right or to the left. That’s a big problem if you have to laminate because when you put it back it won’t cut 100% on the cutting line.
I keep my jobs to about 5 feet. They are easier to work with since I don't have much space in my work area.
Thanks a lot for the info.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the video
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Hi J, I love your videos on Roland BN2, thank you for making them. It has helped me alot. Can you make a video about adding both a perf cut and a kiss cut to a sticker?
Hello and thank you. I’m glad they have been helpful. I certainly can make a video on that matter. I appreciate you watching.
Why does the ecosolvent ink i use look faded when I use copy paper?
If you are referring to an office printer 🖨️ :Try printing at the highest quality setting your printer has. You may also have an option to adjust the print density.
@@j.rabbitcrafts I have a converted ET-4850 to eco-solvent ink.
@@jasongreen809 Eco-solvent inks have different chemical formulations than standard inks ( pigment and dye). This can affect how the ink interacts with the paper. Eco-solvent ink requires media specifically designed to take that ink. Copy paper is not designed for eco-solvent inks.
The holographic one looks like it is printed with white ink, but I though you said you have only CMYK version, so how did you make it to come out this good?
Yes! Thank you for the compliment. I do have the BN2-20A. So when designing holographic stickers, if you want them to really pop, you have to go in understanding that whatever is white in your design will be the holographic vinyl. So you want to strategically use white. You don’t want to have too much of it either because then it’s just too bright and the design gets lost in the shininess.
Pricing jobs is a topic not a lot of people are willing to discuss!
Pricing is a complex subject. It really comes down to how much profit you want to make. Sometimes you have to sacrifice that margin in order to stay competitive or draw in a new and potentially long time customer. You most definitely don't want to lose money on a job.
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome.
Can yu tell me why Yu laminate ? I seen another video but she didn’t say anything about laminating anything lol 🤣
Absolutely. I’m actually going to make a video on that topic. I saw a post somewhere and they asked “Do you always have to laminate?” So I’ll be covering that. I appreciate all the questions and feedback.
@@j.rabbitcrafts Will look for that video. Thanks :
The contour setting doesn't change with the existing contour when you resize. Flexi remembers the last contour size setting, if you highlight the sticker artwork and add click the tickmark it will apply a 1" contour. adding a cut contour needs to be the last step made. I have stuffed up a lot of prints because I added a cutline and then made additional edits.
Yes, the contour cut should be applied last. I just wanted to point out that it needs to be accounted for when sizing your final design. It just takes a simple subtraction calculation to figure out the design size and outline/contour cut line width so that your final target dimension is achieved. Thank you for watching.
Can you make one on how you make your reds print true to its color mine is orange
What software or application are you using for your designs?
Thank you so much for your videos!
You’re welcome. I appreciate you watching.
Yur videos have help me a lot.
That’s great. I’m glad you find them helpful. I appreciate you watching.
@@j.rabbitcrafts do yu ever go live one TikTok ? I would like to watch yu do from beginning to end.
@@AdrianaGonzalez-ve7ni I don’t. By “from beginning to end”, do you mean from design to finished product?
@@j.rabbitcrafts yes I’m have trouble with printing multiple stickers it gets like half way then it stops 😩😩idk how to do big orders
@@AdrianaGonzalez-ve7ni Half way through printing, or while cutting?
Can yu show me the lamination process?
Yes. I am ordering some better recording equipment to capture the shot better. I have a few videos on hold because I am unable to get the right view. Thank you for the suggestion.
Those are some really money saving tips. I bet a lot of folks don't think about stuff like that when they're laying out their designs. Very good video. Thanks for sharing.
These days, you gotta find ways to save money but still deliver quality. You aren't sacrificing quality this way, just maximizing your print area. Appreciate you watching.
Thanks a lot for the video.
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Good tip ;). I’m still waiting for the delivery of my BN2-20, do you have the version with white color or just CMYK?
Thank you. I have the CMYK version. Just a heads up, your Flexi activation code is in the small plastic bag that is taped to the large plastic cover your machine comes in. Many people have asked “Where’s my activation code?”
@@j.rabbitcrafts thanks, I should have the machine delivered, installed and I should be trained by the dealer technician so I hope they know ;). Are you happy with the machine so far? I have also ordered Graphtec FC9000-100 so I do not have to use the BN for cutting and it could just print most of the time.
@@MartinDoubek_ArnieX That’s good. The set up can be quite challenging. I’m super satisfied with my BN2-20A. It’s a great machine.
What a great idea! Thanks for the video
Thanks.
I was wondering how close can the stickers be to each other when you do perf cut? I never tried it with my BN. I only did contour cut.
I haven’t tested how close you can space them before it causes a problem. I set the spacing to 10mm, which is pretty close. If you’re cutting out nice shapes like circles or squares, then that should be fine. Just make sure you have your perf cut settings correct for material(s).
@@j.rabbitcrafts do you have a video on your perf cut settings?
@@alexherman1987 Not yet. I can have one out in a couple days. It’s been on my list.
Much appreciated the video. Thank you very much. So many times that was an issue!
You’re welcome. I remember the first time it happened to me. Going back and hand cutting them was not fun and took me an extra hour. Luckily it was some 4”x5” labels.
Thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thank you
You're welcome. I appreciate you watching.
Did you ever run into the issue with adding the cut line to a sticker on Flexi? I’m adding the line, and when I go to cut it’s not cutting all the way. It’s leaving portion of the sticker uncut and it’s very hard to go back and cut it manually. (Contour cut)
I actually have and will make a video on it. Maybe tonight.
@@j.rabbitcrafts that would be awesome. Thank you very much.
Waiting for the video@@j.rabbitcrafts
@@trustgaming_shorts The video can be found here ruclips.net/video/L5FGPP5rhBs/видео.htmlsi=pAj9UEFnb33jTPko
Thanks a lot for the video. There’s not a lot of training on the BN 2-20A on line so I appreciate every information I can find and learn.
I know. That’s why I’m trying to put out videos to help people out. I appreciate you watching. Any other suggestions for videos are welcome.
Very helpful please keep sharing. Subscribed !!
Thank you. I appreciate you watching.
hm ... I am thinking to buy one ... are you happy with it? How long is max printing? I need it for car stickers
It's been great. I don't believe it has a max print length, but for width it's about 18.7 inches. Laminating super long sheets might be difficult if you don't have a really long table. You have to keep the prints dust-free or you'll get bubbles.
@@j.rabbitcrafts Thanks a lot!
Can you please make a video on how to make dtf prints with the white backing.
I don’t have the DTF Roland BY-20 printer. Otherwise, I would.
Mine doesn’t have that option 😩😩
Do you have the Roland BN2?

@@AdrianaGonzalez-ve7ni Did you change your Workspace? Go up top and click on “File” and then down to “Workspace”. Make sure it’s on “Default”.
What cheap laser works?
I'm not sure. You might be able to get away with a 5w laser. I cut this twill at 50 mm/s at 100% power with a 10w laser. X-tool has a 5w laser for $399.
