Inkcups to present new technological advancements at FESPA

Inkcups will present key solutions from its growing product portfolio at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025, taking place from 6 to 9 May at Messe Berlin, Germany. The company will exhibit in hall 27, booth A50, and will be showcasing the new ‘High Throw’ technology on the X5-T flatbed UV digital printer, an update which expands its application possibilities.

This High Throw enhancement significantly increases the ink throw distance between the printhead and the substrate, enabling high quality, accurate prints on contoured, rounded, slightly curved and irregularly shaped objects, such as mugs with handles, tiered drinkware, and sporting equipment. While the X5-T is already known for its ability to print on tall items (up to 500 mm), High Throw enhances its performance further and affirms it as an ideal solution for complex applications in the promotional print space.

Hendrik Koemans, sales director, Inkcups Europe, commented: ‘We are proud to be introducing our ‘High Throw’ capability on the X5-T – much like our recently launched Nano Pin Curing feature, High Throw is a great example of Inkcups listening to and working with our customers to deliver on what they want to see from our solutions. From elevated freedom of design to increased substrate flexibility, Inkcups is continuing to expand the possibilities of direct to object printing. Don’t forget to visit us in hall 27, booth A50!’

In addition to the X5-T High Throw, visitors to the booth will also experience:

• The Helix One benchtop cylindrical printer, which will be demonstrating its capabilities, including new feature, Auto File, a barcode scanning technology for print on-demand businesses – in a collaboration with Antigro Designer. Visitors have the opportunity to personalise artwork for their own takeaway cup, preview a 3D rendering in real time, and have their custom design printed live

• The XJet Switch, direct to bag UV flatbed printer featuring new High Speed White, which will be printing bright white images on a variety of coloured drawstring bags, for eye catching, highly opaque results 

• The flagship Helix digital cylinder printer, which will be shown at FESPA with Nano Pin Curing, enabling printing onto transparent cylindrical vessels such as glass bottles without the need for a UV blocking substance.

The applications featured across the booth will span promotional drinkware, bags, spirits bottles, candle holders and more, highlighting the company’s versatile technology.
