Roland VersaSTUDIO BY2-20 DTF Printer
The Roland VersaSTUDIO BY2-20 is a compact 20" desktop direct-to-film printer built for apparel decorators, print shops, startups, and growing businesses that want dependable DTF production without moving into a large-format footprint.
Designed as a complete Roland DG desktop DTF solution, the BY2-20 combines professional print quality, dual white ink production, streamlined software, and versatile print/cut functionality in one compact system.
Why choose the BY2-20?
- Compact 20" DTF production: Ideal for small shops, apparel decorators, entrepreneurs, and retail production spaces.
- Dual white ink configuration: Helps support strong white density, clear detail, and more consistent output across longer runs.
- Roland DG workflow: Includes Roland DG Connect Designer and VersaWorks 7 for artwork preparation, white layer generation, and print production.
- DTF and cutting versatility: Produce DTF transfers and use standalone cutting for HTV graphics, lettering, numbering, and specialty media applications.
- Reliable day-to-day operation: Built with improved ink delivery, maintenance support, and production stability for repeatable results.
Built for apparel decoration and small-batch production
The BY2-20 helps you produce transfer-ready graphics for T-shirts, hoodies, sportswear, tote bags, aprons, accessories, and more. It is a strong fit for short runs, one-off designs, customer personalization, small business merch, and on-demand apparel production.
With direct-to-film printing, designs can be applied to a wide range of fabrics including cotton, polyester, blends, denim, nylon, rayon, and other textile applications when used with the proper film, powder, curing, and heat press process.
Design-to-print workflow
The BY2-20 is designed to keep the DTF process clear from file setup through final output. Roland DG Connect Designer and VersaWorks 7 help prepare artwork, generate white layers, handle transparent PNG workflows, manage color, and send production-ready files to the printer.
- Prepare artwork: Set up the design and white base layer.
- Print to DTF film: Output the artwork in reverse using Roland S-PG2 inks.
- Apply DTF powder: Coat the wet ink with adhesive powder.
- Cure the transfer: Melt and cure the powder using a proper oven or shaker/dryer workflow.
