The Roland BN20 Versastudio printer is a great addition to the already amzing line of Roland pructs on the market. It has a print and cut area of 20 inches and is compact enough that it can fit just about everywhere. With the addition of metallic ink and now an option to do white ink instead, this little beast is helping many shops open up into a market that was previously not attainable due to price. The biggest complaint I have heard on...

Well sort of….. you can learn how to make a shirt with heat transfer films  by watching the video in this post. I will take you from design to finished garment while talking about the details of “how-to” along the way. First we need a design to work with.

I get depressed get a bit moody every year about this time. Jen helped me to see it one year and recognize what was going on. Many people get a bit of the winter blahs this time of year from dark days and cold weather. Mine is of a different sort. Today is the anniversary of the day my father passed away.

We have all been in an airport at some point and seen a soldier or sailor traveling in uniform. Most of the time no one pays any special attention to them. There was one of these soldiers on the...

I recently had the opportunity to install 2 of the new Roland BN20 VersaStudio desktop printer / cutters. There have been many inquiries and requests for information and a “real” assessment of how well these units perform and if it is really a viable solution to different problems they have been facing.
