Direct-to-object printing technology manufacturer, Inkcups, is bringing its pioneering High Throw technology into its Helix family of cylindrical direct-to-object (DTO) inkjet printers.<\/p>\n

The Helix High Throw UV Cylindrical Printer is designed to accommodate height variations while decorating cylindrical and conical products.<\/p>\n

It is ideal for cylindrically printing challenging and irregular shapes such as stepped and tapered vessels, those with posts for attaching handles, and items as varied as footballs and rugby balls, pet bowls and planters.<\/p>\n

\"New
\nNew application possibilities: The Helix High Throw UV Cylindrical Printer is ideal for cylindrically printing challenging and irregular shapes<\/p>\n

It is capable of printing products with a diameter range from 2.55 inches (65mm) to 7.1 inches (180mm) and handling height variations up to 15mm<\/p>\n

\u201cUntil now, there were always some products that traditional cylindrical inkjet printers just couldn\u2019t accommodate,\u201d said Derek LaChance, digital product manager at Inkcups.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wasn\u2019t possible to achieve striking visuals on vessels with several different diameters and slants, but the launch of the Helix High Throw completely changes that, expanding the capabilities of the Helix range far beyond drinkware.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is something customers have been asking for since we first debuted our High Throw technology in 2025, so there\u2019s no doubt that it\u2019s going to be a powerful addition to many production environments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two different ink configurations are possible with the Helix High Throw, enabling businesses to adapt their setup as their production needs evolve.<\/p>\n

The six-colour configuration (WW+CK+MY+LcLm+VV) delivers even smoother gradients, accurate skin tones and photo-realistic images by adding light cyan and light magenta to the standard four-colour process, while spot varnish makes it possible to enhance the look and feel of the designs and to deliver a range of special effects.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s especially exciting is the ability to decorate larger, uniquely shaped items such as plant pots and footballs, opening the door to entirely new application possibilities,\u201d said Sarah Hall, program manager for Cylinder Printers at Inkcups.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s inspiring to push beyond the traditional limits of helical printing, and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing the creative ways our customers use the Helix High Throw to expand and diversify their offerings.\u201d<\/p>\n

The product is now available in markets worldwide, with commercial availability for Europe planned for later in 2026.<\/p>\n
