If you're just getting started with the 20" Roland BN-20D DTF printer or if you're considering buying a Roland DTF printer and vinyl cutter combo machine, this is a great place to start.
I have put all the BN-20D DTF printer resources and information in one spot so you can easily find what you're looking for whether that's the best Roland BN-20D Bundle or tutorials and videos.
Roland introduced the 20" BN-20D DTF printer and vinyl cutter combo machine in early . The BN-20D price is about $ which puts it about in the mid-range for desktop DTF printers. The Roland DTF printer can only be used with a roll of DTF film, but the roll can vary in width up to 20".

Before we even begin, let me address one of the biggest questions I get about the BN-20D which is "how is the BN-20D different than the BN-20?" The two look pretty much identical. While the two 20" Roland machines do look identical (hence the giant white vinyl letters on the front of my DTF printer) their function and inner-workings are different.

The Auto Sheet Feeder is an accessory that attaches to the front of your cutting machine and allows you to automatically load several sheets of material.
It works in a very similar way to the paper feeders on conventional printers, where you place a block of sheets and they are loaded as it prints. Instead of manually loading sheets, you can load several sheets at the same time and let the Auto Sheet Feeder do the work.
All you have to do is place the media in the sheet feeder and set the number of copies in the software. Although you can cut without a mat, these cutting machines include matless cutting. Plus, the sheet feeder automatically loads the sheets you need, cuts them and ejects them to move on to the next one, saving you a lot of time.
The Auto Sheet Feeder is the perfect accessory for Portrait 3, Cameo 4, Cameo Plus or Cameo Pro users. It&#;s easy to use and does not require a cutting mat. These features make it a very powerful tool for cutting multiple sheets at once without having to feed them one at a time.
One of the most impressive highlights is that this accessory unlocks access to the "Smart Barcode" feature in all Silhouette Studio® software editions, which is normally exclusive to the Business Edition upgrade.
As you may already know, barcodes remember the settings of each sheet, allowing you to process multiple designs on multiple materials within a single stack. This way, you can automate cutting on pre-printed designs at the same time, even if they are different. Also, you can print a design now and cut it later without having to reopen the file.
The sheet feeder is also quite versatile. It can cut a variety of media such as cardstock (non-corrugated), sticker paper, printable vinyl, transfer paper and much more. This allows you to load materials up to ±4.4 mm thick or blocks of approximately 20 sheets, depending on the thickness of each sheet.
Once the machine is done cutting, all you have to do is simply collect your work.
The Silhouette Auto Sheet Feeder is available in two different sizes: the A4 version, suitable for the Portrait 3 and Cameo 4, and the A3 Plus for the Cameo Plus and Cameo Pro. To help you decide which is the best size for you, here is a comparison table with the differences between the two:
A4 Auto Sheet FeederA3 Plus Auto Sheet FeederCompatible with Portrait 3 and Cameo 4Compatible with Cameo 4 Plus and Cameo 4 ProA4 and US Letter size (21 x 29.7 cm)A4 and US Letter size up to A3 (33 x 48 cm)Up to 20 sheets (depending on media)Up to 20 sheets (depending on media)Setting up the Auto Sheet Feeder is a simple task. First, fit the base to the bottom of the cutting machine. Make sure to place the feet of the machine into the holes of the plastic base to ensure correct positioning. Then, attach the sheet feeder to the base. Note that if you have a Cameo, you will need to raise the height by lifting the front feed of the feeder.
Now, you have to connect the cutting machine to the sheet feeder using two cables: the USB cable and the power splitter. Once you have connected both machines together, plug the power cable to the splitter and the sheet feeder into the computer using the USB cable, as it cannot be used via Bluetooth. To find out if it is properly connected, open Silhouette Studio and turn on the cutting machine first, then the feeder. If you go to the Send tab, you will see that the feeder is already configured.
Once set up, you only need to load the sheets in the top tray of the feeder. Select the cut type and the number of copies you wish to cut from the Silhouette Studio software and hit send. The feeder will load the sheets one by one, cut them and eject them below the Auto Sheet Feeder (Cameo 4) or behind the machine (Portrait 3). If the media gets stuck, use the 2 side tabs of the feeder to get it out. We recommend watching this step-by-step setup video that we have prepared for you:
The Auto Sheet Feeder is full of possibilities. It&#;s compatible with all the tools for the current models of cutting machines, including the Pen Holder, Automatic Blades and Manual Blades. This allows you to cut everything from adhesive paper to create stickers or printable vinyl thanks to the "Kiss Cut" to sketched designs with the Pen Holder.
If you are working with stiffer, non-adhesive materials, such as cardstock or paper, you should select "Pop-out Cuts&#;. Normally, these materials need a cutting mat, so this type of shallower cut creates a kind of die cut to prevent the pieces from coming loose from the sheet and, therefore, from jamming the machine. When finished, you only need to easily separate the piece from the material.
The Auto Sheet Feeder is a great tool for any project including making stickers, and hand-drawn cards for parties or decorations for events.
