new to printing and cutting with vinyl express q42 and roland bn20a

[epsonianguy]

Hi guys, im new to printing with the roland bn20a. I have a vinyl express q42 but not sure how to use it. Does anyone have a manual and know how to use contour cuts/ perf cuts from versaworks? any help would be appreciated! id like to cut my stickers. Is it compatible with versa works?

Best option is Corel or Illustrator, with CuttingMaster4.
You not cutting from VersaWorks, only Printing. Creating Cutline, Registration mark and cutting with CuttingMaster4 plugin.

As mentioned, you'll be limited to Roland cutters if you're just working with Versaworks.

With that said, doesn't the BN20 have a built in cutter?

it does cut but its very slow. Im wondering if using a plotter will still allow perf cuts and leave tabs to peel stickers easier? I dont know what thats called

It cuts where you draw the cutlines. Learn CuttingMaster4 and how to contour or PerfCut with your cutter. More videos on Graphtec Website.
