Printing Labels for Cylindrical Items with a Printer/Cutter
If you don’t have a lot of space in your classroom or lab, the BN-20 desktop printer/cutter from Roland is a compact machine that boasts professional printing results. It even offers the ability to print in beautiful metallic ink on jars, bottles and other round items.
If you’re looking for longer print runs, Roland TrueVIS series printer/cutters are efficient and effective machine choices for die cut labels and decals of nearly any shape or size to fit jugs, jars, growlers, and more. You can program a job to run all night and come back to perfectly printed and contour cut labels in the morning.
