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.

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!

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!

Add a new and exciting look to an otherwise boring object: the notepad! Custom notepad printing is a great way to promote your business or enhance the office setting. Notepad printing is one of the many versatile things that our PromoJET Solvent Inkjet printer can create!

Notepad printing is an easy process that anyone can do! The blank notepads were bunched together tightly in order to avoid overspraying. We used rubber bands to make a flat surface on the side of the pads without creating spaces from inbetween the pages. These printed in just one pass, and came out great!
