Product Information

The Roland BN-20 uses the Roland DX6 printhead — Roland part number 6701409010 — the sixth-generation Epson MicroPiezo head. Unlike the larger VS/RA/RE/RF wide-format machines, the BN-20 is Roland's compact 20" print-and-cut desktop unit, but it uses the identical genuine DX6 printhead. Every DX6 we sell at Digiprint USA is 100% genuine original, sourced directly from Roland and delivered in original Roland packaging.

DX6 vs DX7 — Which Does Your BN-20 Need?

This is the most common question BN-20 owners ask. The DX6 (part 6701409010) and the DX7 1st coded are different generations and are not interchangeable. The DX6 has 360 dpi native resolution across 8 channels. The DX7 has 1440 dpi native resolution and a more refined dot placement system. The Roland BN-20, along with the rest of the VS, RA, RE, and RF series, uses the DX6. If in doubt, contact our team before ordering — we confirm the correct head for your exact printer serial number at no charge.

Roland Part Number Cross Reference

• Roland 6701409010 — primary part number for all models listed above

• Roland 1000006530 — alternative reference number in some Roland service documentation

Recommended Accessories — Replace at the Same Time

When replacing a DX6 on a BN-20 or any other VS/RA/RE/RF series machine, always replace the head data cable set at the same time. Installing a new head on worn cables is the most common cause of premature DX6 failure:

Roland head data cable set — 4-piece set, parts 1000006702 / 1000006703

Eco-solvent ink dampers — replace when fitting a new head

Roland capping station — inspect and replace if worn
