Notes on Use:
Because of the high cost and high demand for use of the Roland BN-20 vinyl printer and cutter, the following equipment specific usage policies apply. All use of the BN-20 must be checked with the Makerspace staff to ensure proper use of materials.
Individuals:
Individual community members may print a reasonable amount of stickers/ iron-ons a year. Reasonable use is determined by the Makerspace staff.
Printing for personal use should be limited. All personal use print jobs must be sent to the Makerspace staff via email in pdf format, ready for printing. The staff will contact you about when these can be printed. We group individual printing requests together to maximize materials and minimize waste.
Individuals using the BN-20 for coursework should contact the Makerspace before printing to inquire about material in stock and quantities that will be needed. Large jobs can be printed by individual students after approval.
Individuals may purchase their own vinyl materials for printing. These must be approved by the Makerspace staff and stored at home. Remember that the use of Makerspace equipment for commercial purposes is not permitted without prior approval.
Groups, organizations, departments, etc.:
Large quantities of vinyl for printing may be purchased by groups, organizations, and departments. This can be stored in the Makerspace for use. Materials must be approved by the Makerspace prior to purchasing to ensure compatibility.
