Thank you very much. I just became the owner of a Roland Bn-20 A and I have to say that this video accelerated my work from design to cutting to literally 3 minutes. Thank you❤️.
Thanks so much! I just printed my first project on the BN20a. I came from a cricut and could not have got this done without your instruction. I will see you and Bob on Sil U. Thanks again!
This is so fascinating cannot wait to see what you think of it later compared to sublimination I really cannot do all the things but I would love to do one well and be able to sell it and have people happy
Hi will you have a breakdown of cost. I saw something that said a 3x3 decal to make is 4cents. I hope i am saying this right. Trying to see the cost to make certain sizes of decal, t shirt designs, etc.
On the silhouette studio in the beginning of your video, the preference area under “import” I don’t have the PNG option in my silhouette studio…I have the business addition as well.
I love your videos. They have been very helpful. I am still having trouble with the transfers however. I watched this video 20 times and still can not get my image to stick to the t-shirt! :(
Hello and good day, I love your channel you give so much information it’s amazing thank you. I just have a silly question but when you are going to print on a shirt does the image have to be a PNG image? I’m kind of struggling on images I have downloaded most of them or pdf or svg…and some images are blurry when I go to print them in versaworks. Oh yes and when I click on my image on the path line for cut contour my whole image turns pink is that normal?
It doesn't need to be a PNG but it does need to be a PDF going into Versaworks. SVG and JPEG files will work as well. With a JPEG you will need to trace first to vectorize/create the cut line. Without knowing which software you are using it's hard to say why the image is turning pink
Awesome video ,!!! Thank you so much , I have a question , the printable HTV you use can be apply with home Iron on , I have a business selling Iron on decals and no every body have heat transfer
What type of carrier did you use?? For some reason I’m having a hard time transferring my design to the sticky film material (carrier) Don’t know if I should get the high tack carrier.. Also can u make a video on what setting you used when u cut the design. For Tshirts.
@@SilhouetteSchool on versa works. I have it on 50 for FORCE. I lowered it to 40. But still having a hard time transferring it to the sticky carrier. I asked to fb group. They said to lower it to 35 on force setting. Just wondering what setting do you have your force when cutting for tshirt vinyl. Not stickers.

Thank you so much for sharing your videos, they have been so helpful. I just have one question, when I go to save image to a PDF, the small screen that shows on your part does not show on my screen. I have upgraded to Business Edition and logged in my key code. Is there a step I am missing. Thank you so much
Can you do a tutorial as to how to size your image. I use inches and normally print a 10 x10 but it comes out so small. To small for a xl adult tshirt.
Hi Melissa! Just bought a Roland BN-20A. I was wondering if I can create a design that has white in the design, similar to the white stars and hearts in your Happy Twosday video? Would the white just be the white on the Heat Transfer material?? Thanks for all you videos!
The only time I adjust from the default settings is when cutting the glitter HTV or doing a perf cut, otherwise I use the default settings based on the material I select and it seems to work well!
This is an excellent video and I am going through your videos, finally learning how to use the BN20 and started from the beginning... and now I am here -- Can you do two different images on a roll or do they have to be the same? If so, how do you set for the other one to align next to the other?
question , I have a Mac, where I have my silhouette and AI software downloaded. do I Have to download the silhouette and AI software on my hp laptop and do all the editing on that ? or can I continue to use my make and then send the pdf over to the HP once I'm done with the editing and changing the cutline colors ?
How do you keep from getting additional cut lines. I followed the video step by step, but when I pull into versa I have the path as a cut line (a box around the image, as well as what appears to be the mat. How did you prevent that?

Hi Melissa. If I bought this machine, does that mean that I no longer need to buy regular multiple colors of Siser Easyweed? I can just print all my designs in the various colors using the EcoSol Max inks with the S Print? Would it be the same durability or even better than using multiple HTV colors? Reckon I would save a lot of $ not having to buy Easyweed again!
Hi Melissa! Just wondering why my rainbow PNG keeps separating after I trace and detach. I feel like I've tried everything, but no luck. I've been successful with solid images, but not with eg. rainbows. Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you! :)
when I look for the "path" it is a black dot (?} and then the color of my image changes...what am I doing wrong...when I think I have it` I get the cut lines for the outside of the circle and then it appears that everything is grouped, should it be ungrouped...tell me if I need to provide more information.

after you print a job, if you don't touch the lock for the media and don't move it, just leave it how it is after a print. when you go to print the next job, it will pull back the media and start printing a little closer to the end of the last print job and not leave as much of a big gap of wasted media.
@@SilhouetteSchool interesting. My default cut pressure was 50 on versaworks and that was way too much. Still cant find a good pressure that will weed easy and stick to the siser tty transfer film

Nice!

On the silhouette studio in the beginning of your video, the preference area under “import” I don’t have the PNG option in my silhouette studio…I have the business addition as well.
You may need to update your Silhouette Studio software. That feature to import PNGs with auto trace lines is new-ish.
I love your videos. They have been very helpful. I am still having trouble with the transfers however. I watched this video 20 times and still can not get my image to stick to the t-shirt! :(

Don’t know if I should get the high tack carrier..
Also can u make a video on what setting you used when u cut the design. For Tshirts.
I used the Siser TTD high tack. What additional settings are you looking for? I included all the settings for every step of the way in this video.

I have been experiencing this too.
Can design space be used with the Roland?
Not unless you can export a PDF from Cricut Design Space with the cut line info
Thank you for your hard work. What cut settings did you use? My design is not cutting the siser s print.

Yes I have a full playlist here: th-cam.com/play/PLT9hB3BOKb_gs15ao_MjcFtdIGGhHhwlX.html
what size should I use for tshirt designs?
It depends on the size of the t shirt and how large you want the transfer

why do I have to keep adding Roland Swatch everytime. Isnt there a way for it to say saved?

Do you mean the Roland Cut Contour Swatches for AI?

Thanks for all you videos!
Hi there! Exactly! It won't print the white but you can still get it with the background material.
Can you do a video on using more than 1 design in nesting?
Yes
Thank you for this video. What settings do you use for Siser easy HTV? I am a little confused with the blade settings.
The only time I adjust from the default settings is when cutting the glitter HTV or doing a perf cut, otherwise I use the default settings based on the material I select and it seems to work well!
This is an excellent video and I am going through your videos, finally learning how to use the BN20 and started from the beginning...
and now I am here -- Can you do two different images on a roll or do they have to be the same? If so, how do you set for the other one to align next to the other?
You can do two different images by using the Nest too in the queue.
@@SilhouetteSchool I am sorry, learning: Where do I find Nest too
Will the design come off at all when washing?
No it will not.
Hello can I use the cricut software instead of the silhouette software I have never used the silhouette that is all new to me
Cricut Design Space does not allow for exporting so the only thing you could do from there is Print to PDF and then use that file
question ,
I have a Mac, where I have my silhouette and AI software downloaded. do I Have to download the silhouette and AI software on my hp laptop and do all the editing on that ? or can I continue to use my make and then send the pdf over to the HP once I'm done with the editing and changing the cutline colors ?
You should be able to send the prepped files to your Windows laptop.
@melissa Does this feel the same as HTV ?
It has a very similar hand, but a bit thinner.
Can you curve your fonts ?
Not in Versaworks, but you can certainly do that when you do the design
I have business edition but when I click on the import it doesn’t have anything for PNG‘s on the import tab
Which software are you talking about? if you have SSBE you can export as a PNG. If you mean VW you need to import a PDF
How do you keep from getting additional cut lines. I followed the video step by step, but when I pull into versa I have the path as a cut line (a box around the image, as well as what appears to be the mat. How did you prevent that?
Give the line you want to be the contour cut line a slight weight in Silhouette Studio - something like .25
I’m having such a hard time masking. The design is not wanting to stick. I’m using siser ttd high mask. I’ve tried everything, any other tips?
Give the transfer a little try time and it might be easier to mask
What do you use for a cut pressure in VersaWorks so I really makes a great cut.?
It depends on the material but I have found that the default setting work well for me usually
For some reason the path line is not showing to me

@@SilhouetteSchool how big does it print
What do you use the wasted media for. I waste a lot of it.
I agree there is too much waste for me too! I am trying to figure out a way to reduce it and then I will pass that along.
after you print a job, if you don't touch the lock for the media and don't move it, just leave it how it is after a print. when you go to print the next job, it will pull back the media and start printing a little closer to the end of the last print job and not leave as much of a big gap of wasted media.
what cut force are you using?
I used the default cut settings for HTV
@@SilhouetteSchool interesting. My default cut pressure was 50 on versaworks and that was way too much. Still cant find a good pressure that will weed easy and stick to the siser tty transfer film
