Inkcups has unveiled its latest advancement in digital printing technology with the launch of the Helix® High Throw UV Cylindrical Printer, engineered to deliver superior print performance on curved and cylindrical objects. This new system introduces enhanced “high throw” capabilities, allowing the printer to accurately jet ink onto surfaces that are not perfectly smooth or uniform.
The Helix® High Throw technology is specifically designed to handle complex cylindrical shapes, making it highly effective for printing on products such as drinkware, cosmetic containers, bottles, jars, and industrial components. By maintaining precise ink placement even at greater distances from the substrate, the printer ensures consistent image quality, reduced distortion, and improved registration, which are critical for high-end decorative applications.
One of the key advantages of this system is its ability to compensate for surface irregularities, enabling decorators and manufacturers to achieve reliable output across a wide variety of materials and shapes. This reduces production errors and minimizes waste, ultimately improving operational efficiency and lowering costs for print service providers.
The printer utilizes UV-curable ink technology, which allows for instant curing under UV light. This results in faster production speeds, excellent adhesion, and long-lasting durability on substrates such as plastic, glass, coated metals, and more. Additionally, UV printing eliminates the need for extended drying times, making it suitable for high-volume industrial environments.
Another significant benefit of the Helix® High Throw system is its role in supporting the growing demand for mass customization and short-run production. As brands increasingly look for unique, personalized packaging and promotional products, this printer provides the flexibility to produce customized designs with quick turnaround times while maintaining consistent quality.
With this launch, Inkcups continues to reinforce its leadership in the industrial inkjet and digital printing segment, offering innovative solutions that align with evolving market trends. The Helix® High Throw UV Cylindrical Printer is expected to be a valuable asset for industries including packaging, promotional merchandise, beverage, cosmetics, and specialty manufacturing.
