Roland BN-20A vs BN-20: Which Roland Ecosolvent Printer and Cutter is Better? Everything to know about Roland BN-20/A including best bundles, tutorials, setup help and more: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/roland-bn-20a-and-versaworks-tutorials.html
And I might get a bundle from swing design. I’m buying from there all the time. Love that website 💖 and I feel comfortable with your guides Melissa cause I understand you easily and you inspire me a lot
I know this is an off the wall question, me and my wife are getting into this working at home and me being a gun fanatic I have a question,,, is there a program and vinyl for the 20 A to make gun wraps?
Hey there! When time is a factor, I like to print on the Roland and then cut on the Cameo Pro so I can double my productivity. Check this blog post out: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2022/01/how-to-print-on-roland-bn-20a-and-cut.html
I have the SSBE extension for Corel I just got to use with the bn20-do you have videos for that So I could add cut lines from silhouette via Corel draw
Do you have a video about the different materials we can use and the difference between them ? For example the HTV I see there’s so many options for the siser HTV. I’m wanting to expand my business and add the BN20A , i already do DTF and sublimation transfers plus the cameo but this would be a life saver for me. I see there’s so many materials for all kinds of stuff I’m just not sure what to buy
I so sublimation and wants to be able to print sticker and sell the transfers for the glass tumbler. Will the Roland 20A work for that? I’m not really good with computers.
@@SilhouetteSchool Thank you, I guess I was confused because in the video you said you printed the vinyl sheet that you wrapped on the tumbler on the BN20a and it had gold. Did you print that on a gold sheet of vinyl? Thanks.
Hey there! Versaworks does not work on Macs. You would need to run an emulator. I personally have a Windows laptop I use to run some of the programs that are Windows only.
This SO depends on what your primary focus would be. Check out our printer landing page to see which one would fit your goals best: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/melissas-fleet-of-printers-for.html
Hi Melissa: I have the silhouette and cricut machines, but for sublimation and t-shirts is not appealing to me. I have a Sawgrass 500 as well. I am thinking about purchasing the BN20/a. Which machine do you recommend for a grandma that wants to make t-shirts /stickers for her grandchildren and family and perhaps help teachers in schools in the local area do you recommend?
I LOVE love love the BN-20A but it is definitely an investment and it's the largest piece of equipment I have (and requires some room). It sounds like it would be great for you if this is more than just a hobby as it does do everything you mentioned.
There are several different ways to create Roland Versaworks contour cut lines but you can do it in Silhouette studio and import directly into Versaworks. www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/roland-bn-20a-and-versaworks-tutorials.html
I use Silhouette Studio and Affinity b/c Silhouette Studio is very easy for tracing/vectorizing to create the cut line, but affinity is needed to set the Versaworks swatch color for the line. www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2022/05/roland-bn-20-software-why-silhouette.html

Thank you so much for this video, really made it clear between BN20 & BN20A.
You are Awesome!!! Thank you for everything you have shared ❤️ 💕 Very classy🤩 I subscribed.
Thank you so much!!
This was so informative. I’m on the hunt for more info on UV DTF printing. Whew it’s sparse
Use flexisign pro that software is made by Roland for their printers and it does EVERYTHING
I need the white ink therefore I might get de
BN 20.
Thanks for that info ❤
Thank you for this video! I needed to know before I made the big purchase! Investment for my business but will be a game changer
Good luck!
thanks for the info
How is the feel of the transfer to the fabric?
I really want one but the price tag.......OUCH. lol
You are hilarious 🤣
I know this is an off the wall question, me and my wife are getting into this working at home and me being a gun fanatic I have a question,,, is there a program and vinyl for the 20 A to make gun wraps?
What pc do you use for the bn20? Im thinking on getting the bn20A
You'll find it on this supply list www.amazon.com/shop/silhouetteschool/list/3OG7O6YTB4U5D?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d
Which ink are you using in the BN-20(A) EcoSolmax 2 (ESL3-4) or EcoSolMax3 (ESL5)
Have you printed on reflective vinyl?
Yes
Can you easily do die cut stickers with BN20A?
Yes you can use the perf cut option
What about the speed heard it's very slow
Hey there! When time is a factor, I like to print on the Roland and then cut on the Cameo Pro so I can double my productivity. Check this blog post out: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2022/01/how-to-print-on-roland-bn-20a-and-cut.html
Do you prefer this over oki white toner?
I don't have an Oki WTP, I have a Uninet icolor 560. I do find myself using the BN-20A more b/c the process is faster.
Ordering mine in the next day or so, already approved for financing. Will this allow for single sheet to be fed in, or roll only?
You can do a sheet! Check out this blog post: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/10/introducing-all-in-one-print-and-cut.html
Don't you have to wait 24 hours for the ink to dry with eco-solvent?
Does it use ecosol max2 ink ?
Hi Melissa! I didn’t see the link for silhouette business edition.
Hey there! Check out our Facebook post here: facebook.com/groups/SilhouetteCameoDeals/permalink/1668375353502056/
I’ve been looking into getting the BN machine. Thanks for the update. Also, where did you find the stand for your cameo plus?
Hey there, it's a stand for another machine I have, but I cannot recommend doing it this way because it does not attach to the stand.
I have the SSBE extension for Corel I just got to use with the bn20-do you have videos for that So I could add cut lines from silhouette via Corel draw
I don't yet!
Hello do you have to do daily maintenance on the bn-20a? and what is your maintenance routine if any?
Yes you can find it here ruclips.net/video/vA9S0yJsMcs/видео.html
Do you have a video about the different materials we can use and the difference between them ? For example the HTV I see there’s so many options for the siser HTV.

Hey there! Check out our BN-20a landing page here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/roland-bn-20a-and-versaworks-tutorials.html there's links to materials and tutorials!
@@SilhouetteSchool thank you 😊
I so sublimation and wants to be able to print sticker and sell the transfers for the glass tumbler. Will the Roland 20A work for that? I’m not really good with computers.
Where did you buy your bundle pack with the printer, stand, inks, etc.?
Hey there! You can find bundle information here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/roland-bn-20a-and-versaworks-tutorials.html
So we can’t send designs to print and cut from a Mac computer at all? I’ve just ordered one today. Mine is on back order to come to Australia.
You need to use Roland Versaworks which is PC only. Some people use Parallels on a MAC to run it
Can you recommend someone who makes party shirt digital files?
Have you checked www.SoFontsy.com?
I will need to print Gold in my vinyl designs. Am I better off getting the BN20 vs the BN20A?
The BN-20A does not have metallic inks, you would need the BN-20.
@@SilhouetteSchool Thank you, I guess I was confused because in the video you said you printed the vinyl sheet that you wrapped on the tumbler on the BN20a and it had gold. Did you print that on a gold sheet of vinyl? Thanks.
I’m am considering Roland BM20a but I own a 2020 apple conputer desktop . Can the Roland soft aware work on that computer ?
Hey there! Versaworks does not work on Macs. You would need to run an emulator. I personally have a Windows laptop I use to run some of the programs that are Windows only.
Do I have to purchase affinity or can I just use my silhouette studio to add the cut line?
Hey there! Check out this blog post www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2022/08/how-to-use-silhouette-studio-business.html
When I print from the bn20 can I then cut the material with my Roland through versaworks software?
Yes it's a print and cut machine it will print then cut
@silhoutte school whats better the Roland or the Uninet?
This SO depends on what your primary focus would be. Check out our printer landing page to see which one would fit your goals best: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/melissas-fleet-of-printers-for.html
why especially the videos where you show the print result 360p ?????
I'm sorry, I do not understand your question
Hi Melissa: I have the silhouette and cricut machines, but for sublimation and t-shirts is not appealing to me. I have a Sawgrass 500 as well. I am thinking about purchasing the BN20/a. Which machine do you recommend for a grandma that wants to make t-shirts /stickers for her grandchildren and family and perhaps help teachers in schools in the local area do you recommend?
I LOVE love love the BN-20A but it is definitely an investment and it's the largest piece of equipment I have (and requires some room). It sounds like it would be great for you if this is more than just a hobby as it does do everything you mentioned.
Thanks for your response.I liked that model too. What about toxic fumes?
i@@soniasigl1191 there shouldn't be any dangerous fumes since it uses ecosolvent ink. But it's best not to breathe any fumes in general.
Do you import the pictures directly or do you have to use corell draw?
There are several different ways to create Roland Versaworks contour cut lines but you can do it in Silhouette studio and import directly into Versaworks. www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/roland-bn-20a-and-versaworks-tutorials.html
Orrr just use job assistant and add your cuttings in versaworks..
How did you get the BN-20A to print gold?
Regular CMYK inks..it's just part of the design :)
What two softwares do you use? I only got Affinity software?
I use Silhouette Studio and Affinity b/c Silhouette Studio is very easy for tracing/vectorizing to create the cut line, but affinity is needed to set the Versaworks swatch color for the line. www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2022/05/roland-bn-20-software-why-silhouette.html
Can the bn20 use different size rolls or only the 20” rolls
Yes you can use smaller rolls as well.
How much is the BN 20A, price of the machine
