Making Stickers in 2024- Roland BN-20A Printer

[@matthewwong9976]

love the transparency!

[@sam-h5r6j]

Sounds like a pain to set up. Would you say it's still the best choice for someone looking to start a small business?

[@rubashkastreetwear]

Overall this is a great printer for the price to value ratio. I don’t regret buying it :-)

[@dariovaldez3336]

What model or characteristics has your computer, I bought that printer but I work with Mac, so I need to buy a PC Microsoft/windows system. Thanks

[@rubashkastreetwear]

I got a very basic and cheap monitor and Tower. Dell Inspiron 3020 S and 24 inch monitor. It was $857 new. I use the computer exclusively for the printer, so I didn’t care about any features or anything, as long as it works.

[@rodrigoperez2720]

great video what kind of material you use

[@rubashkastreetwear]

3M IJ35 Scotchcal Vinyl + compatible lamination overlay

Hey, for a someone who just starting out with a Budget of 1000 - 2000€ could you recommend something? Appreciate any answer.

[@rubashkastreetwear]

You probably will not be able to acquire a decent printer for that price range that will be effective enough for sticker manufacturing, unless you find a used machine somewhere - and at that you will have to be diligent in making sure it works fine. The cost of vinyl and inks can also be quite high to get everything set up initially

[@coolerkater1991]

@@rubashkastreetwear Thanks for replying. Didn't you started with a small setup before? I was thinking of a Canon or Brother Ink Jet and manual cutting for the start

[@apartment213]

can this machine print on paper materials like for posters?

[@rubashkastreetwear]

Yes

[@Mash907]

Chop Saw? Please send me some info. I'm about to buy the original BN-20

[@rubashkastreetwear]

The BN-20 accepts a max of 20 inch width rolls of vinyl, which means not every vinyl that you may want may be available in that roll size. For me, is use a specific heavy duty 3M vinyl and laminate, so I purchased a chop saw to cut down the larger rolls into 20 inch rolls to fit onto the printer. www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-15-Amp-Corded-12-in-Double-Bevel-Sliding-Compound-Miter-Saw-Blade-Wrench-and-Material-Clamp-DWS779/321488482?source=shoppingads&locale=en-US&srsltid=AfmBOoq05qxFvW7uqFUI4xaW2QUXzZ6JUm-sJNOrN0tMXUUhkZooNmIXvZY Some vinyl distributors may also be able to cut it down for you if you inquire.

What are the rollers up front for?

[@theodores9618]

Glad to see you bringing your sticker printing in-house 👏

[@rubashkastreetwear]

It’s definitely useful, I designed and printed a new sticker idea yesterday within a few hours

[@sotosbrother9389]

So what’s the rollers in the front of the machine for ? I heard they don’t really do anything for the bn20 ? On if you had a cutter like the gs ?

[@rubashkastreetwear]

I’m not entirely sure what the rollers do- they came with the stand. The stand is great though!

[@DigitalPartner1]

Hay, I would like setup artwork for printing. I am preparing artwork for printing and cutting roland machine and graphtec. If you have any opportunity for those task please kindly let me know

[@yourunclesam6780]

Amazing ,you have more space.

[@mfyoder1262]

Im wanting to make 4x6 labels for my candles would you recomend this??

[@rubashkastreetwear]

Yes it can work for that. The only downside is this printer is slow-if you have lower or steady candle sale volume it will be fine. If you are selling tens of thousands during a month, it would not be able to handle the amount
