Roland DG welcomes new DTF VersaSTUDIO BN

Aug 21, 2023

Roland DG's new VersaSTUDIO BN-20D Direct-to-Film printer in now available in Australia, following its launch earlier this year.

"The new VersaSTUDIO BN-20D Direct-to-Film printer is here!" says Roland DG Australia. "Building on the legacy and reliability of our bestseller BN-20, the new BN-20D solution redefines the standard for direct-to-film printing."Based on the BN-20 print/cut chassis, the VersaSTUDIO series BN-20D Direct-To-Film (DTF transfer) desktop inkjet printer is aimed at small- and medium-sized print shops, apparel businesses and start-ups.

"Roland DG's BN-20D, the newest addition to the VersaSTUDIO series, is an affordable inkjet printer using the DTF method to transfer CMYK colours plus White on fabric for vibrant graphics with fine details, photographic reproduction, and superb contrast," said a press release.

"DTF transfer has been attracting worldwide attention in the apparel decoration industry in recent years due to the ease of customizing apparel and accessories with eye-catching graphics. After printing illustrations, photos, and other graphics on a special film, powder is applied to the film, which is then thermally melted. This eliminates the need for labour-intensive heat transfer methods, such as cutting the outline of illustrations, removing waste from unnecessary areas, and retouching, which not only makes the work process more efficient, but also allows for the production of more complex and appealing designs."

The ink is compliant with OEKO-TEX from February 2023, an international standard that guarantees the safety of apparel decoration, making it safe for use on clothing for children and pets. The new printer comes with a manufacturer's warranty and optional maintenance contract. VersaWorks 6 professional RIP software, with comprehensive Roland Color System and Pantone colour libraries, is included.

"DTF transfer is a new solution that has only been around a few years but has the potential to revolutionize the apparel business," said Tony Miller, president of Roland DG's Global Sales and Marketing Division. "We believe that improvements in printers, powders, and films will continue to rapidly advance as customer needs increase. By introducing this DTF transfer solution under the VersaSTUDIO brand, we hope that more and more customers will realize new creative and profitable business opportunities with ease."
