The PromoJET can do just about anything! Take a look at these awesome pens!

Notice anything different? These are high quality images printed on promotional pens, not just your typical company logo or low quality image. The PromoJET solvent inkjet printer raises the bar for the promotional pen industry.

Creating these custom pens was a snap. We were able to load these graphics right into the software that came included with the PromoJET. The graphic was re-sized to fit on the pen, and that’s all it takes! To hold the pens in place we created a custom holder so they would not move during printing. Printed pens are a great alternative to laser engraving on pens.

Printer used in this project:
Type: Solvent flatbed inkjet printer
Brand: PromoJET
Model:
Standard applications: golf balls, pens, CDs…
Unconventional applications: mints, candy, stained glass, plaques…

Printing on Paper Cubes (Click to Enlarge!)


Here is a great promotional product idea! Printing high quality images on notepads.

The PromoJET solvent inkjet printer was able to print high quality images with ease! The graphics are loaded into the software program that comes included with the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer. All full bleed graphics/photos or corporate logos are centered in the white areas. You can even print on all 4 sides, with same or different images! No pre-treatment needed.

Other ideas besides promotional use include: printing family pics on each side, children, pets, etc. You can even print a different person per side! Personalized notepads are a great gift idea!

*TIP* place an elastic band around the paper cube in order to restrict movement of the pages during printing.

Creating a personalized Christmas ornament is easier than ever before! The PromoJET solvent inkjet printer can print virtually any image onto an ornament. Great for giving a personalized gift or promoting businesses by placing their company logo on.

The process was simple! First our tech guys made a custom holder for the ornament to keep it from rolling and then the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer did the rest! As you can tell the image printed clearly on the ornament and in no time at all! We went over this image twice to really make it stand out. Custom ornaments are the new trend for the holidays, not to mention ornaments are the number one selling holiday decoration!

Printing Tagless T Shirts with the ICN-B100

May 17th, 2010 | Author: Stephen
Here is a great new video from the Inkcups Now team!

This video showcases our ICN-B100 pad printing machine. In the video you can see exactly how tagless t shirts are made in a real production situation. Apparel production can be time consuming, especially when manufacturers have to sew the tags onto shirts. Tagless printing is much faster and cheaper than tags, not to mention they look better and feel more comfortable!

Printer used in this project:
Type: Semi-Automatic Pad Printer
Brand: ICN-B100
Model: Single Color
Standard applications: neck tagless labels, pens, stress balls, other metal and plastic parts…

Happy Customer Thanks Inkcups Now!

May 17th, 2010 | Author: Inkcups Now


Wanda W. is one of Inkcups Now customers who recently got a PromoJET inkjet printer for Edible products. She visited our Headquarters in Danvers, MA for a training session (which comes free with any equipment purchase) and went back to Illinois to resume making delicious cookies and cakes, now with the new machine. I say “delicious” because Wanda left a cake here at Inkcups, after practicing in decorating it – and it was absolutely yummy! Here is a piece from an email that she sent to Mike Bissel a few days ago:

“Yesterday when I arrived the first phone call I received was, “Is the manager available”. You know, that’s never good. It was the customer who got the 200 logo cookies and a cake. To my surprise they absolutely loved the cookies and cake and needed to call and let me know. They had a ribbon cutting ceremony for Camelot School (they had directors in from over the whole United States and these directors could not believe the how good the cookies looked and tasted). The colors were so bright on the cookies etc. :) Again, PromoJET is #1!!!! So possibly when another school opens elsewhere, maybe we’ll get the order?????
Anyway, the ovens are waiting for me… and THANKS again.”

Printing on Vinyl with the PromoJET

Inkjet Printing on Vinyl (Click to Enlarge!)


We printed these images on the vinyl with virtually no pretreatment at all!

We placed the vinyl in the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer and heated it with the integrated part heating system to increase adhesion. We were able to place these side by side in the printer and print each image simultaneously. Great for vinyl flooring that snaps together like a puzzle, just print the image on it connected together, then break it apart!

Inkjet printing on vinyl allows us to print any image we want! Endless possibilities for backers and flooring. Want that hardwood floor look, yet you don’t want that hard wood floor price? Print it on vinyl and only pay a fraction of the cost for the same look!

Printer used in this project:
Type: Solvent flatbed inkjet printer
Brand: PromoJET
Model:
Standard applications: golf balls, pens, CDs…
Unconventional applications: mints, candy, stained glass, plaques…

Decorate Cookies with Uneven Surfaces!

Printing on Cookies with Uneven Surfaces (Click to Expand!)

Printing on Cookies with Uneven Surfaces (Click to Expand!)


Take a look at what we were able to print on today!

Using the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer with edible ink, we were able to print these great looking images right on these cookies! Just a few weeks ago we posted another blog about printing directly onto cookies and we got a lot of people asking us if the PromoJET could print on uneven cookies. Well here is your answer.

The PromoJET solvent inkjet printer can print on noticeably uneven surfaces up to five inches in height! We used the built in halogen heat lamp and our edible ink, and the printer took care of the rest. We were able to fit about 10-12 cookies in the printer at once (2-3 inches in diameter) and the whole printing process took no longer than 3 minutes!

Printing on Frosted Glass (Click to Enlarge!)


The PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer can print on virtually any surface! Just look at these images on glass.

Great gift ideas just in time for Mother’s Day! Here are some great poems for mother printed directly on to glass. Printing on glass is much more permanent than a card. We are able to personalize what it says on the image. We can even print a picture of your mother right on the glass! Decorate glass with the PromoJET solvent inkjet printer.

The process was easy! The PromoJET did all the work. We heated the glass with the integrated part heating system built into the PromoJET. We printed over the image twice to make it really stand out and give it better opacity.
