which Roland ?

[logobear]

Roland seem to have the print & cut scene well sorted.
Good inks, and lots of media, so can do print & cut for tshirts, stickers, and even outdoor signage and wraps.
I don't see super heavy use ..... and mostly tshirts, and our own signage !
Question is, - which model?
I hear that the baby BN20 is limited in media choice, and more expensive to run due to small tanks ?
Above that, there are all sorts of variants, - 4, or more than 4 colours...
New or pre-loved?
ECO-SOL .... and an ECO-SOL 2 which i hear i should avoid ???
Any tips on the range and what to go for?
Can I print photos / canvas wraps with this machine ?
I am prepared to gambol on second user ... it won't be our main machine, - or am I being stupid?

Dyesub experiences apreciated
happy new printer!

Phil if you can go and see a BN working go and take a look and see if it will meet you're needs, they are a slow machine so if you're not in a rush it will knock things out all day long, I had a VP300 which is 4x faster but got rid as I used the BN more the BN printed smaller images in better detail...

You are limited to 20" but media like canvas I buy it in 24" and cut it down, saves some ££ (done a load of canvas on this) also 440ml carts fit so no need to use the 220ml
Colour combo depends what you want (If buying new) as they will print white and metallic (220ml only), mines setup for white but to be honest I've not used it once..
