Digital Printers
Operational efficiency, speed-to-market, customization, and an improved environmental footprint are just a few of the benefits realized from digital printing. INX provides printers for digital labels and cylindrical printing.
Cylindrical Printers
Among the many cylindrical items that can now be digitally printed are beverage cans, glass and barware; stainless steel and plastic sports bottles; candles and candle holders; industrial tubes; disposable cups; beer and spirit bottles; measuring cups; event-based products (i.e. water bottles for bicycle races); personalised items; and cosmetics. In addition, this method can print on a variety of materials including aluminum, glass, stainless steel, plastic, paraffin wax (candles), silicone and rubber.
