Inkcups to Present New Advancements at FESPA 2025

Inkcups will present key solutions from its growing product portfolio at FESPA Global Print Expo 2025, taking place May 6-9 at Messe Berlin, Germany. Inkcups 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 500mm), High Throw enhances its performance further and affirms it as an ideal solution for complex applications in the promotional print space.

“FESPA is always a highlight in the Inkcups calendar, and 2025 will be no exception,” said Hendrik Koemans, sales director, Inkcups Europe. “We’re 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.”
In addition to the X5-T High Throw, visitors to the Inkcups booth will also experience:
• The Helix ONE benchtop cylindrical printer, which will be demonstrating its capabilities, including a new feature, Auto File, a barcode scanning technology for Print on Demand businesses. Visitors have the opportunity to personalize artwork for their own takeaway cup.
• 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 colored drawstring bags, for eye-catching, highly opaque results
• The flagship Helix digital cylinder printer, which will be shown at FESPA with award-winning 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 Inkcups technology’s versatile capabilities.
