Reliable White Ink For Dark And Clear Substrates

Reliable White Ink For Dark And Clear Substrates

A common frustration with compact printers is inconsistent white ink. NOVA solves this with a miniature recirculation system that keeps white ink pigments suspended. This ensures a bright, opaque underbase on dark stainless steel and clear acrylic cups, making overprinted colors vibrant. A wedding decorator relies on this to create elegant white designs on transparent champagne flutes, a look that is consistently flawless from the first print to the last.
Instant Curing For Immediate Gratification

It also speeds up batch production, as cups can be packed straight away. The cool LED technology is safe for all cup materials and consumes very little power.
