Printing on Doorbells and Light Switch covers (Click to Expand!)
Check out these awesome decorative ideas!
By using the PromoJET solvent inkjet printer, we were able to print these designs onto the light switch and doorbell covers.
It was really easy to do: first we wiped down the doorbell and light switch cover plate with alcohol in order to remove any dirt and oils. Then we used the built in halogen heat lamp to warm up the plastics in order to improve adhesion, and lastly we printed the designs at standard resolution with the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer. And there you have it!
These decorative doorbell covers will liven up any home! and these light switch cover plates will improve upon any room design!

Tagless printing on shapewear (Click here for a close-up)
Shapewear is a new trend hitting the apparel industry. Shapewear comes in many forms, it is mostly referred to as underwear/undergarments. Lingerie is also a form of shapewear. With all of these tight fitting clothes, it makes perfect sense to print tagless labels using the ICN-2200 pad printing machine.
Tagless printing on shapewear has many benefits such as:
• No cracking on the label
• No annoying bump where the tag lies
• No Ribbon labels (those annoying labels usually located on the side of the inside of clothes)
• No grin through (reduces visibility on the outside of the clothing where the tag is)
You can always look great and feel comfortable at the same time, especially with tagless printing!

You may have never heard of Pad Printing… yet it practically surrounds you!
Did you know that many of the colorful and interesting icons and graphics that make up our daily experience are created with pad printing technology? With pad printing, it is easy to add fun graphics and colorful art to almost any object including your own body! See for yourself.
You might start the day off by putting on your new T-shirt and noticing that the tickly-scratchy neck label has been replaced by a neat and unnoticeable printed one. While brushing your teeth you may glance at your dentist’s name on the handle, chances are you owe this friendly reminder to pad printing. How about getting into your car? Changing the radio station or making a left hand turn? Take a good look at the text and graphics on the inside of your car, these are all pad printed. The logo on golf balls you hit into the woods, the graduations on a syringe that take your blood and the souvenirs you buy at a game are all pad printed. Many of the fascinating images you see around you were pad printed.
Using the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer, printing your favorite team logo on a baseball is a snap!
Logos are printed on baseballs using regular ink and a halogen lamp for heating during the printing process. The interesting thing about the printed logos is that they are done at about 1.2” and still have crisp edges! These were done at lower resolution to allow more wrap on the part.
Team logos are not the only thing that can be printed on baseballs, by using the PromoJET solvent inkjet printer, the images are fully customizable! Print company names, pictures, and advertisements to use as an excellent promotional tool!

Today we etched some laser engraved pens for a customer’s specific design! The process was made easy by using the Cobalt 1000 YAG laser etcher.
The customer sent us specific artwork for the etching on the pen. We started by using a vector image, with that image we then set the YAG laser etcher on high power using 9 wats. To clean up the image we did a second pass over the pens using only 4 watts.
Laser engraved pens are a great way for any business to promote themselves. Pens are more exciting than a plain business card with your company information on it, not to mention you get more use out of a pen. Distribute the laser engraved pens to any potential customer and watch as your sales increase!
Laser etcher used in this project:
Type: YAG Fiber Laser
Brand: Cobalt
Model: 1000
Standard applications: Plate-making, pen engraving, knife engraving, tool engraving…
Unconventional applications: Up to you, just use caution…

Here is another promotional product idea: custom plastic bottle caps! The prints were made by Gregg (one experienced technician) and PromoJET (industrial ink jet).
These bottle caps were flame-treated prior to printing. The treatment can be done quite a while before you print if you prefer. In other words, you can flame-treat the entire tray of parts and let them sit for a while. As long as you refrain from touching the surface before printing, they will print with great quality and adhesion. If the parts have been sitting for a while, you may want to blast the parts with some heat (heat gun or oven) just before you print the tray. This will provide even better adhesion than if you did not bother.
About 20-30 large caps or about 50-60 small caps can fit on the inkjet’s tray. No matter what size cap you are printing, it will take under 10 minutes to print a tray of these at the standard resolution of 1440dpi.
These plastic safety socket covers were printed with the PromoJET solvent inkjet. The flatbed inkjet’s tooling table accommodates between 50-60 of these covers; printing the whole table takes under 10 minutes.
With the solvent inkjet’s software, you can easily work with photographs and promotional logos. In this case, Gregg cropped the graphics into circular shapes. Gregg used heat gun for superior adhesion, and the prints successfully passed both the scratch and clear tape tests. Read more
