Typically when we write blogs at Inkcups Now, we write about all the different things you can print on with our PromoJET. Our goal here at Inkcups Now is to assist our customers in any way we can to make their job as easy as possible. Keeping this mentality in mind, Inkcups Now offers so much more than just printing on objects. We offer a service in which we can design and build a custom fixture that will attach to the flatbed inkjet and hold any of your parts to increase printing efficiency.

As the picture entails, these are custom made fixtures for electrical socket covers, and socket protectors. The fixtures are designed with the customer in mind and in some cases with the customer’s specifications. The fixtures are optimized to fit as many pieces as possible in order to decrease production time by cutting down the amount of print cycles.

On the side of the fixtures, pins over hang to assist the user in guiding the fixture onto the PromoJET bed, quickly positioning it in the correct place. The PromoJET is an industrial inkjet, so why not print like it is?

Inkcups Now has made many fixtures over the years. Chances are we have made one to meet your specifications already and if we haven’t, we are always up to the challenge.

For any questions regarding custom fixtures or anything else:

Printing on tin containers with the PromoJET solvent inkjet printer is a great way to increase awareness of a business or event through unique promotional methods. With inkjet printing, you can add pictures, logos, or any other image you can think of in order to customize the tin in a way that is appealing to your market. Tins are great for holding items such as food, jewelry, cards and any other gift item you can think of, so why not customize that tin and make a gift look even better.

In order to print on tin containers we first wiped them down with a PP wipe, this wipe is formulated with a special chemical that will increase ink adhesion. The image was loaded into the PromoJET computer software and sent to the machine to start printing. Although the PromoJET does not have white colored ink, the light background of the tin is great for making it appear white colored and allows the user to print in almost any color.

Tin covers were once considered difficult to print on because of their surface texture and glossy look. New technological advancements in solvent ink and adhesion wipes now allow the ink to easily adhere to the tin surface. Inkjet printing is a versatile tool that can be used to print on almost any texture. The future of inkjet printing is now, so take advantage!

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.

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.

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.

One of these days we will run out of things to print on…until then, here is yet another thing that the PromoJET solvent inkjet printer can print on.

Tin can covers are great to print on! Tin cans are typically used to hold some sort of gift item or food, so why not make it look exciting! The PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer did most of the work here, all we had to do is go over the tin with a P.P. wipe to increase adhesion. The result is a crisp clear image that turns that tin can into something special!

Ordinary household items such as electrical outlets can be turned into a beautiful focal point for any room with the use of the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer. The outlet and socket covers can be imprinted with virtually any design or image!

The outlets and socket covers were heated with the built-in halogen heat lamp, then pre-sprayed for better adhesion. We used our P-Series ink, a special ink designed specifically for plastics that is resistant to household cleaning agents, even rubbing alcohol! The PromoJET solvent inkjet printer quickly placed the designs on the outlet covers generating a crisp, clean image.

With a custom designed electrical outlet, there is no need to hide them behind the furniture anymore.

Great for kids rooms (especially the socket lockets), living rooms, kitchens, and bathrooms!

Take a look at what our Inkcups Now team did today!

We were able to use the PromoJET solvent inkjet printer with the rotary fixture attached to print these great images on these bottles. The rotary fixture allowed us to print on circular/cylinder type of objects. The process was simple, we first heated the bottles with the built-in halogen heat lamp (yes you can use that with the rotary fixture as well!), then the PromoJET inkjet printer did the rest!

We were able to use two different types of images: the first image (the characters) was a high resolution graphic picture printed onto the bottle and the second image (the hotel) was high resolution photo that we were able to use. Either way the printing on bottles came out great with the PromoJET solvent inkjet printer!
