ICN Ink Cups

Patented universal design ink cups -
VersaCup & ToughCup

Ink Cups that Fit
Virtually Every Pad Printing Machine


VersaCup Ink Cup

The VersaCup (patent 2003) is one of the breakthrough products invented by Inkcups Now engineers. These unique ink cups contribute to efficiency and productivity of pad printing process by its universal adaptability. One ink cup can now be used on many different types and brands of pad printing machine. Until VersaCup, the trend in the industry was for each pad printing machine manufacturer to engineer its own proprietary ink cups thus limiting customers to a single and usually expensive source for new and replacement ink cups. VersaCup from Inkcups Now has changed all of that and now offers a practical alternative to expensive dedicated ink cups.

VersaCup ink cups can be utilized on nearly every sealed cup pad printing machine in a decorating department, regardless of manufacturer or model. It reduces ink cup inventory, simplifies changeovers, improves productivity and diminishes operating costs.

Benefits of VersaCup and ToughCup ink cups:

  • Lower costs for both ink cups and ceramic rings
  • Damaged ceramic rings can be easily removed, flipped over or quickly replaced on site
  • Two sided ceramic rings have double the life than single sided rings
  • Low-profile design prolongs ink life and reduces ink waste
  • Ceramic rings are more robust than brittle steel rings and are less prone to damage
  • Ceramic rings extend polymer plate life
  • "Encapsulated" magnets reduce time for ink changeover and eliminate plate damage from loose or flaking magnets

ToughCup The ToughCup is a more sophisticated and green (in every sense) version of the VersaCup. It has the same universal adaptability as the VersaCup, plus the benefits of a proprietary micro-surface coating:
  • The low-tension surface designed to repel inks and solvent, drastically simplifies cleaning.
  • The ToughCup reduces changeover time when switching colors.
  • It is ideal for people who use 2-component inks. It is possible to clean the cup even after accidentally leaving the ink and hardener mix in it for a considerable amount of time.
  • The surface has superior resistance to attacks from solvents, pigment abrasion and mechanical wear. It is Tough!
  • The ToughCup ink cup significantly reduces the use of solvents needed for cleaning. It is Green!
