Unmatched White Ink Performance

Unmatched White Ink Performance

The differentiating feature of the NOVA UV printer for bottles is its active white ink recirculation. This system continuously circulates the white ink, preventing the pigment from settling. The result is a bright, streak-free white underbase on the first print of the day to the last, enabling stunning color reproduction on dark amber and matte black bottles.
Seamless Substrate Switching

The printer is designed to move effortlessly between glass, plastic, and metal bottles. A simple mandrel change and selecting a pre-saved digital recipe is all that's required. A contract decorator runs glass wine bottles and stainless steel water bottles on the same machine in the same day, maximizing asset utilization.
