If doming is genuinely all you want to do with the printer, then the BN20 will do the job.
For smaller designs, low volume work - such as doming, stickers, garment logos and small signage - it is fine, and that is what the machine is marketed to do. The main reason it gets some negative comments is that its speed and size will limit you to those kind of small, low volume jobs.

I am sorry, canon a3 with waterbased inks and bn-20 shouldnt even be compared.
yes bn20 is slow but it offers three speeds. Only highest resolution printing is that slow. If you go one notch down it will speed up about double without huge quality sacrifice. Plenty enough to make product that can be sold.

Bn20 will do for doming as i used it and i loved it.
Quality is great and is fast enough. And.... it cuts as soon as it finish printing
Of corse there are more expensive options out there but if you only have 5k and you want eco solvent than go for it.

Thanks for your feedback.
Do you know how easy Roland Printers are to set up as one of the company's I am considering buying from have advised me to pay a additional fee for delivery and a Roland engineer to install at a whopping £175, which I believe I may not require and the money could be better spent on materials etc.

They are very easy. The thing is that companies are scared of is you pick wrong ink configuration by mistake. This ince applied, cant be changed.

Thanks for your help Paul.

IMO pay the instal fee and then you have a machine that is set up correctly and ready to work.

175 in the big picture is not v much ...... and, if you have any issues, tec support will be much better!
imho
