US promo products kit manufacturer Inkcups is demonstrating its Helix, X5-T and Xjet800 devices on its stand at Fespa 2021 as it looks to bolster its European presence.

Located in Hall 1, stand F157, the digital inkjet, screen and pad printing specialist is showing live demos on three of its key printing systems during this week’s show at Amsterdam RAI Exhibition Centre, which closes today (15 October).

Inkcups’ flagship Helix digital UV cylinder printer is being shown printing onto plastic bottles. It can print onto straight-walled and tapered cylinders in CMYK plus double hit white and varnish at speeds of up to 11 seconds/item and is aimed at the drinksware, barware, candle and industrial print industries.

Also on show is the X5-T UV digital flatbed printer aimed at heavy duty industrial printing and high-use promotional products. The device can print on areas up to 1,100x610mm in two minutes on items up to 508mm high. At the show, the device will be printing onto pens and luggage to demonstrate its ability to handle tall objects.

The third Inkcups device in demo mode at Fespa was the XJet800 UV flatbed full colour printer, which can print 800x620mm in 2.5 minutes and is suitable for printing on flat or slightly curved items such as frisbees, packaging and industrial hardware.

"We are excited to showcase our digital machines at Fespa Global Print Expo and introduce our customers and attendees to the newest members of the Inkcups Europe Team,” said Hendrik Koemans, Inkcups’ sales director, Europe.

“Our support team has grown, and will keep growing, to better support customers and to expand our client base across Europe."
