Inkcups Now Debuts New Printer

June 23, 2011

Inkcups Now Corp., Danvers, Mass., has introduced its B150 pad printer — a compact, industrial-grade, single-color pad printer for large images.

The 150mm patented VersaCup ink cup assembly prints images of up to 140mm in diameter. Its 779-pound compression capability allows for easy handling of large, hard-print pads, allowing operators to print images on label-free garments, drinkware, injection-molded housing, bezels and other products up to 5.5 inches in height (including fixture). The B150 features the ability to program variable pad delays (both over the plate and the part), print speed and double print function, which gives the operator complete control over the printing cycle and print opacity, according to the company.

The B150 can be used as a benchtop printer, or it can be mounted onto a base cabinet. It fits comfortably in a standard size production cell of an apparel factory, as well as a small printing shop. It can be set up without tools, allowing for rapid job changeover. An illuminated plate system provides visibility to the work area, according to the company.
