    • @SilhouetteSchool
      @SilhouetteSchool  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you want to print stickers with white ink you will need the BN-20 (not the BN-20A) but I would suggest you consider if you really need white ink. Usually you can get the look of white with the negative space just by printing on white material. I do not have white ink in my BN20A and as you can see parts of the designs are white.

The thing is after I hit print it stayed at 0 percent for over 5 mins. The program says printing but nothing is printing. Has this happen to you the first time? It ripped fast but it is not printing. After I heated up my food, typed this message... its still at 0 percent. Any feedback? Mahalo in advance.

  • @TheDukeOfZill
    @TheDukeOfZill ปีที่แล้ว

    does the BN20 require an offset adjustment like graphtec plotters? example, if i print a solid color circle, then use my graphtec to cut it (reg marks), sometimes I have to adjust the offset +1 or -1 (or a few more) because instead of cutting perfectly on top of/around the printed image, it may cut shifted a few mm to the left of it, resulting in a cropped image on the right side (despite being a perfectly cut circle anyway). rather than deal with manual adjustments on the machine, i sometimes shift the cut pattern in the program a couple of pixels to the left, then cut and then it's usually fine. are there any such issues with the BN20? also at around 10:15, i see a tiny white outline around the bottom of the image. is this outline only at the bottom, or is it completely around the image? (i wouldn't mind completely around, just as long as this isn't an offset issue). if it's completely around, all i'd probably have to do is add an extra bit of color overflow to the print itself so that it's captured by the cut.

This can be found by selecting the scissor icon, the drop down menu will be on the top, the default is print and cut, click on the drop down menu and then select "Cut Only" this way it won't print and will just cut using your cut line as a guide.

    What is the difference between this machine and a white toner printer ?
    Does this machine print white ?

    • @SilhouetteSchool
      @SilhouetteSchool  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi there! To make the BN-20A more economical, it cannot print white and uses ecosolvent inks. You can with the white toner printer that uses toner versus the ink. Check out our blog posts on all printers including this one here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/p/melissas-fleet-of-printers-for.html

    • @bhutch216
      @bhutch216 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The BN20 is capable of making transfers, stickers, banners, posters, etc. The 20 has white ink for transparent media, the 20A does not. The media is cheap and you can make a really good profit. The down fall is it is slow.
      White toner printers are a scam and the transfers chip and crack within the first few washes and the media and ink is so expensive that you can never make a profit using it. One media and toner restock will cost you over $1800 on a white toner.

    How much does it typically cost to have a page of black and white decals printed out with only writing and maybe a simple company logo? Say a page of 2 x 1 inch stickers?

      There may be other ways to create a cut line, but I use Silhouette Studio everyday and that's the easiest and fastest way I have found to create the cut line needed for Versaworks. Silhouette Studio is free to download and you can practice tracing. To use Studio to create the cut lines you'll need to be able to export as a PDF which is a feature in the upgraded version of the software called Business Edition. It's a one time paid upgrade of $99
