Four Different Output Methods
The following four output methods are available for this machine.
Printing (Only)
Printing by using ink. It is also called "Printing Only" as well to distinguish
from "Printing and Cutting."
Cutting (Only)
Cutting by using cutter such as for cutting seal. It is also called "Cutting
Only" as well to distinguish from "Printing and Cutting."
Printing & Cutting
Printing method which performs printing followed by cutting. If sending
output data which contains both printing and cutting information to the
printer, cutting operation starts after printing finishes.
Crop Cut
Outputting method using "Crop Marks" to align printing and cutting result.
In a case such as "removing the printed media and performing lamination,
and then reloading it and performing cutting," align them using the crop
marks and perform cutting.
Important Points During Use
Use the machine periodically
We recommend using the machine at least once a week. If left unused for a long period of time, the ink may
settle, resulting in unstable discharge (and nozzle clogging). Any dry ink will need to be discharged.
About handling white ink and metallic silver ink
The usage and handling of white ink and metallic silver ink involve some important considerations that do
not apply to ink of other colors.
Refer to p. 40 "Characteristics of Metallic Silver Ink and Important Notes" and "Important: "Characteristics of
Ink and Important Notes" of "BN-20 Roland VersaWorks SPECIAL COLOR INK GUIDE (Metallic Silver & White)".
