This is the red tool class for our newest printer, the BN2-20! The BN2-20 is a commercial quality sticker printer but also so much more.
In this class you will learn the basics of using the machine safely and what it is capable of. You will learn to use the white and clear vinyls to print stickers. We will go over the print and cut feature, kiss cut, perf cut, lamination, and file setup in Illustrator and in Flexi design studio. After this class, students will be authorized to use the BN2-20 independently.
A separate, advanced red tool class will cover additional media, such as heat transfer vinyl, banners, printable fabric, and holographic sticker material.
In this class, each student will print a set of stickers (about 5-6) using a combination of Flexi and Versaworks. There will be provided images to choose from or you may bring your own JPEG or PNG. Students will prep, print, laminate, and cut their stickers.
You will take home a set of stickers that can be put on just about anything.
