How to Print on Roland BN-20A and Cut on Silhouette CAMEO 4 Pro (Free Template)

If you are running a business using a Roland BN-20 or BN-20A you can of course print and cut with the 20" ecosolvent printer. 

Most Roland BN-20 users will tell you, it's not a fast machine especially when printing.

This tutorial will explain how to print with Roland BN-20A and cut with the 24" Silhouette CAMEO Pro. 

To make this as easy as possible, and avoid common issues due to set up errors, I have setup a Silhouette Studio print and cut template for use with the Roland BN-20A and CAMEO 4 Pro for you.
