Create Print and Cut Graphics

with One Awesome Machine

Not only do BN-20 devices print quality graphics up to 1440 dpi, but they can automatically contour cut them as well! This means you can create labels, decals, t-shirt transfers and other products that are cut to the unique compositions of your designs.

A state-of-the-art cutting operation provides consistent results and isn’t prone to the problems inherent in craft cutter devices with simple up/down electronic controls. Instead, they ensure super-crisp cutting results on a wide range of products— supporting rolls up-to 20-inches wide by 50 ft. and weighing up-to 13 lbs.
