Elevate your apparel decoration business with professional DTF printing in a compact desktop package.

The Roland VersaStudio BY2-20 DTF Printer brings true production-ready direct-to-film performance to smaller shops, studios, and growing custom apparel businesses. Engineered with dual white ink channels, advanced S-PG2 inks, and Roland’s legendary reliability, this 20-inch desktop DTF printer delivers consistent, high-opacity white density and vibrant colors — even during longer runs — while its integrated contour-cutting capability gives you unmatched versatility in a single compact machine.

Whether you’re producing custom T-shirts, hoodies, sportswear, tote bags, or promotional apparel, the BY2-20 makes it easy to create durable, stretchable, wash-resistant transfers on cotton, polyester blends, denim, nylon, rayon, and more.

As part of a complete Roland DG desktop DTF system that integrates printer, software, ink, film, and powder, the BY2-20 enables smooth workflows, accurate file preparation, and consistent results across a wide range of applications.  We offer financing options on all Roland Printer Bundles.

Why the Roland VersaStudio BY2-20 Stands Out

• Dual White Ink Configuration — Two dedicated white ink channels maintain stable, high-density white output throughout extended production, reducing variation and delivering crisp, professional results on both light and dark garments.
• Integrated Print & Cut Functionality — Print vibrant DTF transfers or contour-cut traditional HTV graphics on the same machine. One compact device handles both workflows with precision.
• Exceptional Print Quality — Up to 1440 dpi resolution with controlled ink laydown produces sharp fine lines, small text, and intricate details with rich, vibrant colors and strong white opacity.
• Compact Desktop Design — Fits comfortably in small production spaces, workshops, or retail environments without sacrificing capability (max print/cut width: 18.89").
• Reliable Roland Engineering — Optimized ink delivery, advanced temperature management, improved filtration, and automated maintenance functions minimize downtime and deliver day-after-day consistency.
• Streamlined Workflow — Includes Roland DG Connect Designer and VersaWorks 7 software for accurate artwork preparation, automatic white layer generation, and error-free output — ideal for both experienced users and those new to DTF.

Hight Quality Output: Produce sharp, detailed graphics with accurate color, strong white coverage and reliable wash durability. Controlled ink laydown and S-PG2 inks help maintain clarity across very thin lines, small text and intricate details. The dual white ink system, with 500 ml cartridges, supports consistent output across longer runs. This helps maintain detail and overall print quality from the first job through to ongoing production.

Streamlined Design-To-Print: The BY2 combines design, preparation and output within a connected DTF workflow. Roland DG Connect Designer and VersaWorks 7 support accurate file setup, including white layer generation and transparent data handling, helping reduce errors before printing. Simplified controls and utility software keep operation clear, while automated media adjustment supports accurate alignment and reduces skew during printing.

Reliable Production: Engineered for reliable, efficient DTF production, the BY2-20 maintains stable output during continuous operation with controlled ink delivery and consistent printhead performance. Refined print stability helps reduce variation and supports consistent results across longer runs, while also improving workflow efficiency and reducing operating costs. Continuous production support enables steady operation with clear status visibility throughout each job. Automated maintenance functions help keep the printer ready for output while minimizing downtime, interruptions, and rework.

Flexible Applications: Produce transfers for cotton, polyester and more across a wide range of products and applications. Produce custom graphics for T-shirts, sportswear, bags and more, supporting a wide range of everyday apparel jobs. The BY2-20 enables short runs, one-offs and varied designs, making it suitable for on-demand production and small-batch work. Alongside DTF printing, the BY2-20 also supports standalone cutting and hybrid DTF/HTV workflows for graphics, lettering and apparel applications.

DTF & Cutting Applications: Standalone cutting supports graphics, lettering, numbering and specialty media applications, allowing you to expand beyond DTF into additional cut-only workflows or hybrid DTF/HTV processes. Alongside cutting, the BY2-20 produces transfer-ready graphics for cotton, polyester blends, denim, nylon, rayon and other fabrics, supporting a wide range of apparel and textile applications.
