Creating a Simple Perf Cut on the BN20

- Here is a crude video of what I go through as a process for a simple PerfCutContour job on the BN20. It actually came out longer than I wanted it to be. Also if you notice my machine was "disconnected" right before I printed this sample, I had just unplugged it by accident but plugged it back in, haha.
Thanks for watching and PLEASE SUBSCRIBE!
Thanks for the great video! Keep it up! I have been learning how to use my BN20A and VersaWorks this week and your information definitely helped me feel more comfortable. It's so interesting to hear everyone's unique set up even though it can vary slightly from printer to printer. Happy printing!
Just got my BN20 yesterday, and this was super helpful 👏🏻 Thanks so much.
Thank you for the detailed explanation of perf cutting. New BN2-20 and have been struggling with Flexi Designer. I had to export to Versa to get the perf cut controls needed for clean cutting, as you have shown.
Thanks! this is exactly what I needed to refine how I do this. I have a very similar process but a lot of the details you provided cleared so many questions I had. I really appreciate it!
Glad it helped
Super helpful. Thank you. Not sure why Roland can’t make these themesleves.
Thanks for this video. I seen Tx I live in Desoto (Dallas) would love one on one training:)!
Thanks this was extremely helpful
Awesome!
I learned SO much from this video and I absolutely appreciate you 🫡
Thanks man
This works great on un laminated stuff but can't get this to work with laminated decals, no matter how high i set the pressure it just doesnt go all the way through
Thank you for this video!
Great tutorial thanks a lot for the video.what type of blade are you using
I’m using a generic Roland, 60° blade
Thanks for the video. Any idea why my Roland Versaworks will not add the perf cut option? I see the cut contour and all other colors.
Hi, I'm currently learning how to use my BN-20A and VersaWorks. I hope you have been able to solve your issue. If not, here is just an observation. Firstly, to COMPLETELY access all the customizable job settings for a project, select the project's JOB NAME and right click > select option SETTINGS(S). Next, on the left column, select CUT CONTROLS, you should see two labels on the panel titled CUTTING OPTIONS and PERFORATED CUT CONTROLS. !!! Very important, for you to checkmark the PERFORM PERFORATED CUT FOR IMAGE BOUNDARIES on the lower portion under the PERFORATED CUT CONTROLS, you first need to have check marked CUT IMAGE BOUNDARIES on the upper portion titled CUTTING OPTIONS. I hope that following these steps solves your issue. Now, you can also add a perforated cut by designating a stroke color beforehand in Affinity Designer or Adobe Illustrator (there are many tutorials online that can help). 8) hope this helps !
I was wondering why my cuts was off I guess I gotta let the paper breathe 😂 I was thinking that I was saving material but I was wasting it
If you use the perf cut a lot will it ruin the cutting strip?
No that is what it is there for. Once it wears out, replace it.
@@zumografx Bad idea definitely not why it's there lol
@@inkcityco It allows for straight and true cuts without any jagged edges or ruined material. Once it gets "wore out" or damaged. Replace it with part Roland part 1000007739. I have standard plotters/cutters that use these types strip that I replace as I need. Just my opinion from my experience.
Hello friend, tell me how much is the cost to make 1000 5cm diameter stickers?
I see in your versa works in settings under the layout sections under media settings in size yours is in inches…. For some reason mine is in mm how can I fix this
good question. I am just learning how to use VersaWorks and I think you are having a setting preference issue. When you open VersaWorks the next time, on the top left corner click on the EDIT(E) option > then on the dropdown menu select PREFERENCES(E). Open the tab titled GENERAL and see the third option down titled UNIT> Click the arrow pointing downwards and select INCH option > click OK on the bottom to save changes. I hope this helps and happy printing!
Does this work for the BN-20a?
I think it works for BN-20 and BN-20A since both use the same software of VersaWorks. Have fun printing!
Bonjours, je possède un BN20 et le menu perfcut est invisible. Avez vous une solution?

and this what we call a bad designer. LMAO, if you save it as EPS instead of pdf, you save space, its only sizes the actual cut/perf line not the boarder of the pdf size. And if this guy was a real printer he would know this! Also if you save it as eps you save data space on your hard drive as well. Anyone in the SIgn industry knows this. Also the machine has a cut test setting/ adjust knife pressure. So before running a job you can test blade depth. Read your manual first. Your machine settings are off. Cutting speeds the faster the speed the better the cut/ its a free swivel blade. If you cant cut IJ 35C at speed 15 you have bad blades and the settings are off on the machine itself. Call roland or your sales person. And I have a XR-640 roland. The only time i slow my cut speed down is long prints or Laminated, Laminated i switch to 60 degree blades from 45 degree.
