The standard usable width of a BN20 is up to 480mm not 460mm so only 10mm either side which isn't unusual for a cutter or printer so it wastes very little. It can also take various sizes going down from 480mm too so you can ask to have your rolls cut to differing widths to suit that or if your using it for textile cutting or printing then most media comes in 500mm wide which is perfect. It also prints on banner material and canvas and can handle most medias that other printer cutters can. I've been really impressed with the quality and capacity, it's paid for itself many times over in less that a couple of years. I initially thought I'd only carry printable vinyls but have found that I've collected a huge range of colours of vinyl for textile and signage including glitter vinyls too so it means I can produce just about anything I'm asked to do (bar embroider with it!)
