Inkcups announced the release of its newest product, the Helix Hi-Fi, a 7-color rotary digital printer that delivers photorealistic skin-tone matching with the addition of three new color pockets.
The Helix Hi-Fi is an evolution of the Inkcups Helix, the industry’s best-selling printer in its class. In addition to Helix’s standard CMYKWV, the Helix Hi-Fi has three additional colors: light cyan, light magenta and light black. While the standard Helix already delivers the best image quality in the industry, the addition of the light colors brings output quality to a new level. The benefits are most dramatic in printing skin tones where true photorealistic images are generated with smoother shade transitions, less graininess, and higher-resolution edge effects.
The Helix Hi-Fi’s unique skin-tone matching function is increasingly in demand for personalized printing, which often requires one-off production of facial images. Helix Hi-Fi can import a series of unique image files and produce high-resolution printed products of stunning quality. Typical applications include personalized images on glass candle holders, drinkware including stemless wine glasses, stainless steel tumblers, pint glasses and many more.
Ideal for promotional and retail markets, the Helix Hi-Fi prints multi-color graphics on straight-walled cylinders, tapers, and objects with limited wall curvatures. The system features a built-in programmable tilt to reduce change-over time and eliminate the need to optimize print recipes for each SKU change. The Helix Hi-Fi uses UV LED ink and prints 360 degrees with a maximum resolution of 1200 dpi. The machine’s printable area is 8.6 inches; the system can print on items up to 12 inches in length with a diameter ranging from 2-5 inches.
