Roland BY-20 Desktop Direct-to-Film Printer Cutter
The Roland BY-20 is a compact Direct-to-Film (DTF) printer-cutter that combines high-quality print output with finishing capability in one affordable desktop device. With a media width range of 150 to 515 mm (5.91″ to 20.2″) and a maximum printing/cutting width of 480 mm (18.89″), it is ideal for custom apparel, accessories, tote bags, team jerseys and personalised merchandise. Featuring five-colour ink (CMYK + White) and a high resolution of up to 1,440 dpi, the BY-20 delivers vibrant, detailed graphics and sharp text. The machine also supports integrated contour cutting, meaning you can produce cut-ready transfer graphics in-house without separate equipment.
Designed for ease of use, the BY-20 offers front-loading media, minimal space requirements, automated setup features and intuitive software—making it accessible even for users new to DTF. The workflow is streamlined: print to film, apply powder, melt the powder and transfer to substrate with a heat press. With Ethernet connectivity, efficient power usage (approx. 185 W operational), and a user-friendly interface, the BY-20 offers both convenience and professional capability for small print shops, retail customisation counters and start-ups seeking to deliver high-value personalised products.
