If you’ve just purchased a Roland BN-20 or BN-20A, you’re now the proud owner of one of the most compact and versatile print-and-cut devices on the market. But before you jump straight into printing, you’ll want to make sure you’ve got everything you need to hit the ground running and that’s where a Roland media bundle comes in.
What Is a Roland Media Bundle?
There’s nothing worse than buying a new piece of equipment, enthusiastically unpacking it and then realising you can’t get started because you’re missing a load of key accessories. A Roland media bundle (or Roland printer media kit) is a carefully curated package of essential materials designed to help you get going right out of the box.
Think of it as a launchpad, ideal for beginners, small business owners, or anyone wanting to explore what the BN-20 can do before committing to bulk orders of specific media.
Bundles vary depending on what you choose but most BN-20 media bundles typically include:
- A selection of printable self-adhesive vinyls (gloss, matte, and sometimes clear) or other print media such as canvas or PVC
- Printable garment film for heat transfer applications
- Staples, scissors, knives, etc
- Speciality media options
- Application tape
- A cleaning cloth or fluid for basic maintenance
Why It’s Worth Getting a Bundle
Here’s why investing in a Roland print bundle is a good idea, especially if you’re just getting started:
1. Try Before You Buy (in Bulk)
Different media performs differently, and you won’t know what you prefer or what your customers like until you try it. A media bundle gives you the chance to test a few types before investing in full rolls.
2. Perfect For Learning
Whether you’re learning to calibrate your cutter, test colour profiles, or master heat transfer settings, it’s better to learn on media designed for your machine. The BN-20 media bundle is matched to your printer's capabilities, ensuring a smoother experience.
3. Versatility From Day One
It’s the fastest (and most economic) way to try lots of different things and explore your printer’s potential. If you’re new to the print game you might be unsure which area, if any, you want to specialise in. A bundle gives you that opportunity to try lots of different things and see what you prefer.
4. Peace Of Mind
Everything in the bundle is tried-and-tested on the BN-20. That means fewer print failures, better colour accuracy and media that feeds, prints, and cuts like it should.
5. Who Is It For?
The Roland printer media kit is perfect for start-ups or home-based print businesses working on a budget but looking to explore new avenues. It’s also ideal for creatives who want to test product ideas and equally useful for retailers expanding into custom merchandise or POS graphics.
Ultimately, it’s great for anyone needing custom, varied or small batch output – think schools, studios, event planners and more.
