Thank you very much. I just became the owner of a Roland Bn-20 A and I have to say that this video accelerated my work from design to cutting to literally 3 minutes. Thank you❤️.
Thanks so much! I just printed my first project on the BN20a. I came from a cricut and could not have got this done without your instruction. I will see you and Bob on Sil U. Thanks again!
This is so fascinating cannot wait to see what you think of it later compared to sublimination I really cannot do all the things but I would love to do one well and be able to sell it and have people happy
Hi will you have a breakdown of cost. I saw something that said a 3x3 decal to make is 4cents. I hope i am saying this right. Trying to see the cost to make certain sizes of decal, t shirt designs, etc.
Hello! I also need a machine like this, but what would you recommend? Is it good for adhesive vinyl, t-shirts, etc.? Are the service costs high? Or do you think this machine is good?
The Roland BN2-20A is one of my favorite machines!! It's super versatile and can print and cut. It does not require much maintenance at all! I recommend it over the BN series because it includes software for one click cut line creation. I would recommend watching this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLT9hB3BOKb_idLgTd34znKvDygX6jYg5E
I love your videos. They have been very helpful. I am still having trouble with the transfers however. I watched this video 20 times and still can not get my image to stick to the t-shirt! :(
Awesome video ,!!! Thank you so much , I have a question , the printable HTV you use can be apply with home Iron on , I have a business selling Iron on decals and no every body have heat transfer
What type of carrier did you use?? For some reason I’m having a hard time transferring my design to the sticky film material (carrier) Don’t know if I should get the high tack carrier.. Also can u make a video on what setting you used when u cut the design. For Tshirts.
@@SilhouetteSchool on versa works. I have it on 50 for FORCE. I lowered it to 40. But still having a hard time transferring it to the sticky carrier. I asked to fb group. They said to lower it to 35 on force setting. Just wondering what setting do you have your force when cutting for tshirt vinyl. Not stickers.
Hello and good day, I love your channel you give so much information it’s amazing thank you. I just have a silly question but when you are going to print on a shirt does the image have to be a PNG image? I’m kind of struggling on images I have downloaded most of them or pdf or svg…and some images are blurry when I go to print them in versaworks. Oh yes and when I click on my image on the path line for cut contour my whole image turns pink is that normal?
It doesn't need to be a PNG but it does need to be a PDF going into Versaworks. SVG and JPEG files will work as well. With a JPEG you will need to trace first to vectorize/create the cut line. Without knowing which software you are using it's hard to say why the image is turning pink
Hi Melissa! Just bought a Roland BN-20A. I was wondering if I can create a design that has white in the design, similar to the white stars and hearts in your Happy Twosday video? Would the white just be the white on the Heat Transfer material?? Thanks for all you videos!
This is an excellent video and I am going through your videos, finally learning how to use the BN20 and started from the beginning... and now I am here -- Can you do two different images on a roll or do they have to be the same? If so, how do you set for the other one to align next to the other?
Hey there, it is hard to troubleshoot here. Please feel free to drop us an email: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/blog-page_9.html Or! If you'd like extra help - like in-depth video tutorials or 1:1 help via email or chat for your projects - please consider joining Silhouette U (www.silhouetteu.com). We hope to see you soon!
On the silhouette studio in the beginning of your video, the preference area under “import” I don’t have the PNG option in my silhouette studio…I have the business addition as well.
The only time I adjust from the default settings is when cutting the glitter HTV or doing a perf cut, otherwise I use the default settings based on the material I select and it seems to work well!
Thank you so much for sharing your videos, they have been so helpful. I just have one question, when I go to save image to a PDF, the small screen that shows on your part does not show on my screen. I have upgraded to Business Edition and logged in my key code. Is there a step I am missing. Thank you so much
How do you keep from getting additional cut lines. I followed the video step by step, but when I pull into versa I have the path as a cut line (a box around the image, as well as what appears to be the mat. How did you prevent that?
Hi Melissa. If I bought this machine, does that mean that I no longer need to buy regular multiple colors of Siser Easyweed? I can just print all my designs in the various colors using the EcoSol Max inks with the S Print? Would it be the same durability or even better than using multiple HTV colors? Reckon I would save a lot of $ not having to buy Easyweed again!
question , I have a Mac, where I have my silhouette and AI software downloaded. do I Have to download the silhouette and AI software on my hp laptop and do all the editing on that ? or can I continue to use my make and then send the pdf over to the HP once I'm done with the editing and changing the cutline colors ?
Can you do a tutorial as to how to size your image. I use inches and normally print a 10 x10 but it comes out so small. To small for a xl adult tshirt.
Do you have any suggestions I get so lost on creating my cutlines it seems like I miss a step I got my Roland bn20 months ago and is so frustrating for me
Hi Renee Alexander, it would be easier to provide you the help you are requesting if you could please send an email with some additional information.

Hi Melissa! Just wondering why my rainbow PNG keeps separating after I trace and detach. I feel like I've tried everything, but no luck. I've been successful with solid images, but not with eg. rainbows. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you! :)
when I look for the "path" it is a black dot (?} and then the color of my image changes...what am I doing wrong...when I think I have it` I get the cut lines for the outside of the circle and then it appears that everything is grouped, should it be ungrouped...tell me if I need to provide more information.

@@SilhouetteSchool Hi Melissa I am a member, how do I get the help I need, I did not know what to enter for the blog to get the extra help or to send an email...sorry
after you print a job, if you don't touch the lock for the media and don't move it, just leave it how it is after a print. when you go to print the next job, it will pull back the media and start printing a little closer to the end of the last print job and not leave as much of a big gap of wasted media.
@@SilhouetteSchool interesting. My default cut pressure was 50 on versaworks and that was way too much. Still cant find a good pressure that will weed easy and stick to the siser tty transfer film

On the silhouette studio in the beginning of your video, the preference area under “import” I don’t have the PNG option in my silhouette studio…I have the business addition as well.
You may need to update your Silhouette Studio software. That feature to import PNGs with auto trace lines is new-ish.
Thank you for this video. What settings do you use for Siser easy HTV? I am a little confused with the blade settings.
The only time I adjust from the default settings is when cutting the glitter HTV or doing a perf cut, otherwise I use the default settings based on the material I select and it seems to work well!
How you tink about you print como out wet? Have roland bn20a one month ago and havening this problem

How do you keep from getting additional cut lines. I followed the video step by step, but when I pull into versa I have the path as a cut line (a box around the image, as well as what appears to be the mat. How did you prevent that?
Give the line you want to be the contour cut line a slight weight in Silhouette Studio - something like .25
Hello can I use the cricut software instead of the silhouette software I have never used the silhouette that is all new to me
Cricut Design Space does not allow for exporting so the only thing you could do from there is Print to PDF and then use that file
Can design space be used with the Roland?
Not unless you can export a PDF from Cricut Design Space with the cut line info
Hi Melissa. If I bought this machine, does that mean that I no longer need to buy regular multiple colors of Siser Easyweed?

@@SilhouetteSchool Great thank you!
why do I have to keep adding Roland Swatch everytime. Isnt there a way for it to say saved?
question ,
I have a Mac, where I have my silhouette and AI software downloaded. do I Have to download the silhouette and AI software on my hp laptop and do all the editing on that ? or can I continue to use my make and then send the pdf over to the HP once I'm done with the editing and changing the cutline colors ?
You should be able to send the prepped files to your Windows laptop.
What do you use for a cut pressure in VersaWorks so I really makes a great cut.?
It depends on the material but I have found that the default setting work well for me usually
Do you find that you have to wait 24 hours for the ink to cure before masking it and pressing it?
I don't wait that long..but you can
Will the design come off at all when washing?
No it will not.
Can you do a tutorial as to how to size your image. I use inches and normally print a 10 x10 but it comes out so small. To small for a xl adult tshirt.

I’m having such a hard time masking. The design is not wanting to stick. I’m using siser ttd high mask. I’ve tried everything, any other tips?
Give the transfer a little try time and it might be easier to mask
Can you do a video on using more than 1 design in nesting?
Yes
what size should I use for tshirt designs?
It depends on the size of the t shirt and how large you want the transfer
By chance can you do a video with the bn2-20a im a new be :)
Yes I have a full playlist here: ruclips.net/p/PLT9hB3BOKb_gs15ao_MjcFtdIGGhHhwlX
Hello! Trying do that extension part and I can figure out how to download it.
Do you mean the Roland Cut Contour Swatches for AI?
I have business edition but when I click on the import it doesn’t have anything for PNG‘s on the import tab
Which software are you talking about? if you have SSBE you can export as a PNG. If you mean VW you need to import a PDF
@melissa Does this feel the same as HTV ?
It has a very similar hand, but a bit thinner.
Hi Melissa! Just wondering why my rainbow PNG keeps separating after I trace and detach. I feel like I've tried everything, but no luck. I've been successful with solid images, but not with eg. rainbows. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you! :)

Do you have Business Edition?
My letters are not sticking to the mask for some reason, i've tried so much but they're either not coming off the original, or they rip in two. :(

Can this also be done in affinity?
Hey there! Check out out blog posts about Affinity here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/search?q=affinity
Can you curve your fonts ?
Not in Versaworks, but you can certainly do that when you do the design
So I am confused does this do stickers and prints for shirts?
Yes :)
@@SilhouetteSchool how big does it print
what kind of paper is that brown one, whats it call?
It's a teflon sheet.
Does it have to be Teflon, or can we use butcher paper?
What do you use the wasted media for. I waste a lot of it.
I agree there is too much waste for me too! I am trying to figure out a way to reduce it and then I will pass that along.
after you print a job, if you don't touch the lock for the media and don't move it, just leave it how it is after a print. when you go to print the next job, it will pull back the media and start printing a little closer to the end of the last print job and not leave as much of a big gap of wasted media.
what cut force are you using?
I used the default cut settings for HTV
@@SilhouetteSchool interesting. My default cut pressure was 50 on versaworks and that was way too much. Still cant find a good pressure that will weed easy and stick to the siser tty transfer film
