  1. The NEW BN-20 from Roland

  2. The NEW BN-20 from Roland

    This machine is not for a TRUE sign shop. It's speed dictates that it is not a high volume machine. It's a kiosk or a fill in for a TRUE sign shop. Will the BN-20 replace my VP-540?...NO....not by a long shot. But will it free up my VP-540 to print my higher profit large format signage....YES...
