Kevin Shigenoya, product marketing executive officer at Roland DG says, “The jury recognised the BN-20’s ability as a desktop device to print metallic ink.

“We will continue to encourage the broad use of inkjet devices in the market by demonstrating that versatile applications, such as metallic printing, adds value to products and services.”

The BN-20 is the industry’s first metallic desktop eco-solvent printer/cutter. Roland DG says it combines all the versatility and advanced features of Roland’s latest inkjet printing technologies into a compact device.

According to Roland, the BN-20 quickly and easily produces a wide range of full-colour prints with metallic effects, on demand, for apparel heat transfers, labels, decals and promotional signage and more.

The manufacturer adds that integrated print/cut technology allows the BN-20 to contour cut graphics into virtually any shape without additional die cutting equipment.

The jury consisted of the editors-in-chief of various trade magazines, representatives of trade organisations and members of the exhibition organisation.
