ToughCup has a proprietary micro-surface coating designed to repel inks and solvents. This low-tension surface provides complete release of inks and drastically simplifies cleaning. It improves productivity by reducing changeover time when switching colors.

Because of the unique coating, this ink cup is also more resistant to attacks from solvents, to pigment abrasion and mechanical wear. It is Tough! The ink cup is also environmentally friendly: it significantly reduces the use of solvents needed for cleaning. It is green!
