Inkcups, a global leader in direct-to-object printing technology plans to showcase the capabilities of its pad printing and plate making solutions at the upcoming 2026 Impressions Expo in Long Beach, California, Jan. 22-24. Included in the lineup on display at Booth #2222 will be:
- B100 1-Color Tabletop Pad Printer: A high-speed pad printing machine, the B100 incorporates the patented VersaCup ink cup assembly with two-sided ceramic ring and tool-less set up to support rapid job changeover. This machine is designed for heavy duty performance and provides an alternative solution to sewn-in tags and heat transfer labels for clothing.
- B150 1-Color Tabletop Pad Printer: A large image pad printing machine used for industrial-grade, 1-color applications. With a compression capability of 779 lbs, this pad printing machine allows for easy handling of large, hard printing pads and can be used by apparel printers to produce larger logos and care labels onto the neck labels of t-shirts, childrenswear, and more.
- 2200-PS 2-Color Pad Printer: Equipped with a heavy-duty, dual-position pneumatic pad-slide mechanism, the 2200-PS is ideal for larger volumes and for those who are looking to expand from 1-color to 2-color pad printing as it’s able to print both 1- and 2-colors.
- Cobalt Edge Pad Printing Plate Maker: The recently launched Cobalt Edge is Inkcups’ latest addition to its range of laser plate making machines, combining efficiency and precision with new software featuring job queuing functionality to perfectly etch plates for pad printing applications.
“From increased comfort for the wearer to better durability and cost savings compared to other non-label-free methods, the opportunities that tagless pad printing brings to apparel decorators are vast,” said Matthew Yates, Global Tagless director at Inkcups. “We are really looking forward to demonstrating our range of single- and double-color pad printers and showcasing how these technologies make it easier than ever to produce tagless garment labels. We are also excited to demonstrate our recently launched Cobalt Edge Pad Printing Plate Maker, which offers increased efficiencies for decorators. We encourage all attendees to stop by our booth and see these technologies in action.”
