Today at Inkcups Now, we printed on coasters with the PromoJET flatbed inkjet.

The interesting thing about these coasters was the texture of them. Two of the coasters had a rough/bumpy surface, and the other two had a smooth glossy finish. Both rough and smooth textures would present a challenge to anyone in the printing industry. The glossy finish of the coaster increases the difficulty of ink adhering to the surface and the rough/bumpy surface is difficult to print an image on without distorting it.

How do we overcome these obstacles? Use the PromoJET solvent inkjet! The PromoJET is able to print on both surfaces simultaneously. The PromoJET’s advanced printing technology allows the user to print on rough/bumpy surfaces without distorting the image. For smooth/glossy objects, the PromoJET ink will adhere to it with no problem at all!

The coasters were printed with two kinds of images, one in black and white, and the other using 4 colors. As you can see each image came out clear and sharp with no blurriness or distortion.

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:

By using the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer, our team at ICN was able to print amazing detailed images on these tiny pieces of jewelery!

The process was easy. We used a PP primer wipe on the pendants for better adhesion while printing. The built-in halogen heat lamp was used, as well, in order to open the pores on the pendants, this also allows for better adhesion. The PromoJET inkjet printer did the rest! The entire process took only minutes, and we can print multiple copies at the same time.

You can now make custom jewelery with crisp clear images that no one else sells, give your jewelery business an advantage over the “other guys.”

Some may say we have gone too far with this one (or at least we think we did.)

We have decided to merge the two sweetest things in our office together: Bonaventure, our controller, and cookies. The result was the B-Cookies. We just used the PromoJET flatbed inkjet printer along with our tasty edible ink and presto! We have a cookie that tastes great with a friendly face on it. OK, I will admit, it is a little weird to eat a cookie making that face at me, but it still tastes awesome! Decorate any cookies with virtually any image with the PromoJET edible inkjet printer!

Today we can customize pretty much anything so why not go ahead and print on combination locks such as these ones? Using the PromoJet Flatbed Inkjet we were able to quickly print the artwork onto the metal combination locks.

They definitely look a lot better than the standard one color lock dials that you would usually find. But don’t make the artwork lock too nice or someone might want take them away from you!

The combination locks were already pre-printed in white before they where inkjet printed to make the artwork more opaque. We also used our DigiBond Primer and heat-gun before printing to give better adhesion. The flatbed inkjet table is big enough to hold 60 of these padlocks at a time and the printing process doesn’t take more than a few minutes.

This beautifully decorated case and flask was meant as a gift for a “to-be” member of the US National Guard. They were printed on using the Mimaki UJF-605CII flatbed inkjet. Notice the remarkable resolution and how crisp the edges came out!

Before printing on the flask, Gregg used a metal primer wipe and the machine finished it up with a clear coat for that shiny look. The cover of the box was almost an inch high. The Mimaki is able to print on non-uniform objects up to 2 inches high so it easily handled this task.
