What do you mean by “converting”? I don’t have a sticker business, but I draw & make stickers & I have an Epson eco tank. It is as a step up from my last printer 🤣 Is the ink bad? Please explain

Great videos, question does the bn-20a have the ability to do PerfCuts, looking to buy one, but not sure if I need a separate cutter , for die cuts. From the looks of the video the bn-20a is slow, I’m don’t doing big projects.

@@mikesstickers Good to know, I have a old Roland gx-24 vinyl cutter, its works great, openend up software cut studio ver 2.1 from 2015, it has the feature to do perfcuts, I wished I knew this back in 2015. I would screen print stickers on Oracal 651 vinyl with solvent ink, would print Roland registration mark for optical eye on cutter, let dry and run through cutter, would get perfect kiss cut decals, I printed thousands , but I alway wanted to do die cut, This was the cheapest method to print stickers I found, solid color mostly, cost me about $0.05 in ink. Will most likely buy the 20a, will pick up where I left off in 2015, but with full color decals. Will keep you posted if gx-24 is good for perfcut.

Hey Mike, I have this printer C6500AU. I recently bought some label rolls that are 2 up. Two labels next to each other continuously on the entire roll. I normally use Corel Draw, where I design my labels and print from there directly; I do not have issues printing labels where they are single labels in a continuous feed. But I need help with labels being 2 up. The printer, after printing 2-3 labels stops, sends a message that the paper roll does not match!!

@RC_NotTheCola Ай бұрын

Obviously it depends on the label designs but about how many labels do you get before you need to swap ink?

@mikesstickers Ай бұрын

@@RC_NotTheCola I really have no idea but I would speculate 10’s of thousands.

It's always the magenta for some reason on those media clamps. Also, here is a little tip. I use a cleaning cartridge and extract the cleaning fluid to clean all my machine. I don't do it as required either. Maybe once every 6 months to a year. Always good to see your videos. I get those drops outs here and there, then they swap to other colors. But as long as you keep on printing, they will all clear up.

Thanks for the update. From my experience as time goes on you will be more financially stable to buy in more stock so you don’t run out and take advantage of deals. You will definitely get there, upping your price and weeding out the jobs that cost you was the best move. The customers that shop on price are never your customers they just go to the cheapest and then it’s a a quick race to the bottom for the printer.

When you perf cut on the Roland it’s very important that you adjust the perf cut correctly to avoid chewing up the cutter strip. Profile cutting adjustment is important as well but not as critical because it’s doesn’t cut through the backing.

I don’t remember exactly how to do it but someone on the Facebook group told me how to do it. In addition to that I also found a 3D printed guide that holds the material flat in the middle of the cutter. It’s a very simple device that someone sells on Etsy. I’ll see if I can find it.
