One of our customers wanted to see how the PromoJET colors would make out on wooden pencils. We think that the PromoJET did a great job on all three of them!

Like in most cases, all Gregg had to do was to pre-treat the objects with our heat gun before printing. The tray is big enough to hold 60 pens at a time and they were all done in just about 2 min and 40 sec at 1440 DPI.

Due to its size and shape, this metallic water bottle is a great object for demonstrating what the PromoJET Flatbed Printer is capable of printing on. The diameter of the bottle measures to be 3.25 inches – the PromoJET can actually print on objects up to 5 inches high giving us more than an inch to spare. The printing table was lowered so that the print-head would pass over bottle without touching it. The table also has enough space to print 4-5 of these bottles at a time.

Here at Inkcups Now we often get special orders for Top Secret projects. That’s all we can say at the moment. We don’t want to get into trouble…

Both items were pad printed with 3 different colors using our very own ICN-150. Paul began by etching the artwork onto a plate using the Cobalt 1000 while Pete mixed up the colors in the ink lab. After pouring the ink into the cups, Paul set them up on the plates. The choice of pads is very important as it needs to have the correct shape, size, and durometer for each part.

Before printing the objects need to be adjusted for the fixture to align with the printing plates. Fine tune the registration to get a perfect alignment of each color and we are good to go!

Here are some speculations about where these parts actually go: Space-Shuttle, Shrinking Device, Giant Laser Gun… And Derek just doesn’t know what to think of it!

Any other suggestions of what the objects could be???
