Vinyl Printing and Cutting
The vinyl printer & cutter is a large format inkjet printer that can be used to print graphics, apparel, labels, decals, signs, displays, posters, vehicle graphics, art, and wall décor using three types of vinyl media.
Using the Vinyl Printer and Cutter
Christchurch City Libraries has a Roland BN-20 printer located in the makerspace on Level 4, Auahatanga, Tūranga.
The printer is available during our creative drop-in sessions, by requesting a one-on-one session, or during select programming.
General session, Thursdays at 10am to 12noon
Youth Creative Time, including 3D printing, for ages 12-25: Fridays 4pm to 5.30 pm
If none of these times suit then you can use our Book a Librarian form to arrange a time that suits you to get one-on-one help.
Technical specifications
The Roland prints on three types of roll-fed media:

Design constraints

If you wish to cut your design to a specific shape a cutline must be supplied with the print file. We can show you how to set this up correctly in the design software available in our computer lab.
