CMYK vs CMYK + W on the Roland BN2-30: Which Ink Setup Is Best?

When using the Roland BN2-30, choosing between CMYK and CMYKW inks can impact your print quality, color accuracy, and material options.

CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black) is the standard choice for full-color printing on light substrates. It delivers sharp, vibrant graphics, perfect for signage, decals, labels, and promotional products.

CMYK + W adds White ink to the mix, enabling printing on dark, colored, or transparent materials. White acts as a base layer for bright, accurate colors, making your designs pop on any background.

Which to choose?

• CMYK for fast, high-quality printing on light surfaces.
• CMYKW for specialty materials where white ink is needed for bold, vivid graphics.

The Roland BN2-30 supports both setups, giving you flexibility to produce professional-grade prints for any project.

Can the BN2-30 cut designs as well as print them?

Yes! The BN2-30 is a print-and-cut machine, allowing you to create precise cut shapes for decals, labels, stickers, and custom graphics without a separate cutter.

Is white ink necessary for printing on transparent materials?

Yes, white ink acts as a base layer, allowing your colors to show vividly on transparent or colored substrates, rather than appearing faded or translucent.

What materials can I print on with the Roland BN2-30?

The BN2-30 can print on vinyl, heat transfer films, adhesive-backed media, paper, and specialty substrates. It supports both light and dark materials, making it versatile for a wide range of creative projects.
