Roland BN2-30 30" Eco-Solvent Printer/Cutter
Overview
30" Desktop Print & Cut with White-Ink Capability
The Roland BN2-30 is the wider model in Roland's BN2 desktop line, offering a 30" media path and the option of a CMYK + White ink configuration. That White channel is the difference-maker — it lets you print on clear, dark, and metallic media that four-color machines can't handle.
Like its smaller sibling, it prints and contour cuts in one automated pass using Roland's proven printhead and Eco-Sol MAX ink, at speeds up to four times faster than the original BN-20.

Why White Ink Matters
A CMYK-only machine can only print on white or light media — the substrate provides the white. Add a White channel and the range opens up: print a white underbase on clear film for window graphics that read correctly against any background, print on dark vinyl without colors going muddy, and lay white behind color on metallic media for premium label and packaging effects. For a shop chasing higher-margin specialty work, that one channel is the reason to choose the BN2-30 over the 20A.
Applications
Ideal for custom apparel and heat-transfer graphics, decals and die-cut stickers, product and package labels, small signs and posters, window and wall graphics, printing on dark and clear media, metallic and specialty finishes, and promotional and personalized products.
Why Choose the Roland BN2-30?
The BN2-30 gives you a wider bed and the White-ink option in the same compact, affordable desktop platform. For shops whose work runs beyond standard vinyl — clear labels, dark apparel, metallic packaging — it delivers specialty capability that normally requires a far larger machine.
