I agree, respectfully. When on that mic sounds like high pitch yelling, but when talking over explaining on computer, voice pitch mellows. With the mic you can talk normal and it picks it up fine. If not there’s all kinds of software to fix it. I know creative cloud you can. But really love these videos. Audio is just so hard on my central nervous system.

I've read that we need a separate cutter because this printer will not perf cut for very long. How true is this? I purchased this model because I did not want a separate cutting machine.

Hello, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I followed your video to the letter. The issue I’m having I had a BN-20 and upgraded to a BN2-20a this versaworks wont print my PDF designs I made when I was using the BN-20 I have a job I need to finish and I get as far as loading it but when it gets to loading it to print it stays on 0%. What am I doing wrong? Thank you.

Thank you for sharing these insightful videos. I was wondering if the BN-20 is also compatible with the FlexiDesigner software. I hear you talking about how great the program is in making it easy to add cut lines but the BN2 may be a little too much with regards to price while the BN is an easier buy. Thank you in advance.

at 7:35 you show the blue travel piece, that has to be removed before use, and is not mentioned on any roland videos. It locks the print head in place for shipping. Also there is a piece of cardboard on the printhead that secures it as well. Roland had no idea about the clip, neither did tech support, and i had to open a ticket with their support contract company and they had to unpack a unit at the factory. We got our brand new BN2-20 and spent 2h trying to pass initial startup : ( PS Your videos are better then theirs.

Far better to get a dedicated cutter like a Graphtec. Roland's are pretty crappy at die cutting, if thats what you're after. And for kiss cutting, its always better to let the print cure for a few hours which makes the print and cut feature pretty useless unless you are ok with leaving the print in machine. Also, I have found the accuracy is not the best if you remove the print and then reload it later - ARMS on Graphtec is phenomenal.
