BN 20 Laminate Job demonstration and info

[@ScottBMoore]

Just want to say have been looking at this printer for a few weeks and watching your videos. You have been a great help in making our decision. We are coming from a Graphtec CE7000-60 that we have been using for years and will still use. And it seems that once you are in the business you start to realize how many other directions you can go. And we have decided to add this machine to our portfolio. One we are purchasing is a second hand about 2 years old with not much use. Scott

Great video! We’re new to this field (we launch in August) and this was very helpful. Love the tip about the ruler for laminating! Thanks! 😊

[@down2stick203]

[@joebenavides7258]

Wow that video just blew my mind.that’s a great video great information on how laminate and cut with the Roland Bn-20.I’m definitely going to try that out with my stickers.Thank you so much for sharing this great information 👍

[@down2stick203]

Glad it helped thank you for watching!

[@d2stobb]

Love it, the ruler is a great way to “handle “ that large piece of laminate 😍

[@down2stick203]

Yes! Thank you!

[@deanpatton5697]

Have not pulled the trigger on this system as of yet... thinking next year.... you sure have given me somethings to consider. Good job for one of your first. Thanks

[@down2stick203]

Thank you. I waited til I had a good cash flow from die-cut decals so it would pay for itself.

[@bigkahuna2297]

dont waste your money on a BN20

[@deanpatton5697]

@@bigkahuna2297 Explain why, otherwise I can only assume you are disgruntled. All I ask is that you explain your comment. I have an open mind and am looking at all sides.

[@bigkahuna2297]

@@deanpatton5697 not disgruntled at you my man at roland for even selling that thing, its slow, loud, to much maintenance and not cost friendly. For the same price you could have gotten a older used vs or vsi or even a sp.

Wonderful video. I've subscribed to your channel.

Thanks for the sub!

Nicely done. Cheers, JAYTEE

Thank you!

this video makes me so happy i didnt throw away money into a BN20 that thing is so sloooow, watching you try to remove the vinyl after cutting is no good my man, you need to adjust your blade and pressure more, its just laminate you should be able to cut in 1 pass and it peel like butter. Maybe your blade is dull but more than likely its blade depth and pressure. I started with a cricut then us cutter plotter, then graphtec and now run 3 graphtecs, i have had a SP300V. 540 and now a sg2, started with the same laminator and now use a royal sovereign. hope you can get out of the BN20 cause once you do you will slap yourself for the bn lol keep up the grind my man

[@bigkahuna2297]

also if you have a fellers accont make one if not, much better pricing on the oraguard then signwarehouse

[@tarpon63531]

what make and model is your laminator. Can you leave a link on where to purchase one. Love the video thank you so much and hope you continue to post videos this helped.

[@down2stick203]

This is the one I use from Amazon. www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D6J97GH/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I am investing in an electric laminator pretty soon for signwarehouse.com. costs more but worth it I think. Thanks for watching!

[@alexherman1987]

About how long does the ink last? Looks like ur pretty busy.

[@eddiejr]

thanks for this video !

[@down2stick203]

My pleasure!

[@billetbmx]

What is the best laminate to use with the 3m ij35? The 3m laminate is super expensive. I also have a BN20 but have never laminated anything. Thanks for making the video.

[@down2stick203]

The 3m material should have a section on the laminate recommended. I would call manufacturer "3m" they have great customer service. I personally have never used 3m but I do mix products and get great results. I mainly use prismjet and Orafol.

[@down2stick203]

Orajet sorry.

[@billetbmx]

I bought the same 3m vinyl and had it cut down to 20” like you show in the video. What’s your Favorite laminate to use on this that you had the best experience with? Do you have the model number on the orafol laminate? Thanks

[@samkalib1324]

Nice thanks for this video I have questions how to make Registration mark can you make video thank you👍🏾

[@down2stick203]

For the bn-20 or in general for cameo or cricut?

[@Hem101]

Thanks for the vid! Can the BN20 cut completely through both mediums so you can pop out die cut stickers?

[@down2stick203]

it can but stickers will be a bit hard to remove.

[@NigelCunliffe-co5dz]

How do you cut them individually through the backing afterwards? So that they’re all in a uniform shape and can stack them for packaging. Do you use another machine?

[@down2stick203]

I actually haven't learned that yet. I have done it by mistake but they come apart in machine and jam up. I will find out and post it.

[@Kleano52]

May I ask how much you charged for the stickers? I still need to figure out the right way to charge people.

[@down2stick203]

I try and do 1$ dollar per square inch. so 6x6" size I do 6$ dollars. Make sure and keep track of material costs and time and also look at competitors pricing.

[@bobhirt1100]

So how do you get the decals out if you dont cut all the way through?

[@down2stick203]

It cuts thru, I was cutting a little too deep into paper so they were hard for customers to remove.

[@asalmighty1540]

Hey brother, what vinyl are you using on this video?

[@down2stick203]

I've been using PrismJet products. I do want to try out Oraguard and 3M products though.

[@sweettreatminis]

How long did this take to print and then how long was the cut time?

[@down2stick203]

Printing was about 8 minutes. Cutting about 4 minutes.

[@Garettalong]

What laminate do you use?

[@down2stick203]

This is the gloss I use signwarehouse.com/products/prismjet-100-gloss-laminating-film for matte finish I have oraguard 210.
