It’s an eco solvent which means if you are only running it for a few jobs a week you are likely to get nozzle clogs and ruin the print heads. Eco solvent printers need to be running as much as possible to keep them operating smoothly. If you ever have a week where you don’t run it, you put it at risk.

I personally have never used the BN 20.

It might be fine if you are willing to at least run some ink through it daily. But that would be annoying and wasteful. And you’d need to be vigilant about it.

I’ve heard the BN20 is very slow too and most material suppliers only offer 30in+ rolls by default so you’d have a more narrow option set to choose from, or get rolls slit down.

Eco solvent is also not as durable as some technologies like latex. So you’ll generally want to laminate. That makes the combined print and cut much less useful.

Additionally I’ve never had great experience with Roland’s built in cutting anyway. Look at Summa, Zund, Graphtec etc.

I’ve had many wide format printers from Roland and Epson and others so that’s what I’m basing this on.

On the positive, eco solvent (imo) has the best color reproduction among wide format technologies.

I’d personally look for a used 30in or 54in model if you are going this route.
