# Roland BN-20 Vinyl Printer/Cutter

Update:

Inkscape does \*not\* support "Spot Colors" which, for now, are required for custom cut paths (think circular stickers)

This will be updated further later, but the key is that you need a "Spot Color" (not a process color, etc) for the Roland to recognize it as a cut outline. In illustrator, create a new color swatch named "CutContour" , and make sure to select "spot color". This can be whatever color you'd like - the 'CutContour" name is the important part. 

make all oyur cut paths this color, and the roland should recognize them automatically ("marching ants" - moving dashed lines) will appear in the document preview in VersaWorks.
