The Helix One. Can It, Will It, Does It?
Printwear & Promotion LIVE! 2024 for Inkcups may seem like a distant memory now, but not only did I come home with lots of follow up meetings, but I also came home thinking about all the questions both Adam Moore and I were asked at the show. Below I am answering the most popular questions.
Q) Can it only print on the coffee cups you are printing now? (Picture Below)
A) No, The Helix One is a dedicated cylinder printing machine designed to decorate straight walled and tapered cylinders including plastic bottles, stainless tumblers, candle holders, glassware, Powder coated items and more.
Q) Can I print on Mugs with a handle?
A) This is not possible as the item needs to be able to rotate completely due to the nature of how it prints.
Q) How many will it print per hour?
A) There will be factors that could impact this, but you will be able to print approximately 60 items per hour.
Q) Is it only CMYK?
A) No, the Helix One is CMYK + White + Varnish and this allows you to print images of the highest quality.
Q) Do the items have to be white that I print on?
A) No, you can print on an entire range of coloured items including clear items. As the machine has white ink it can provide an underbase for coloured printing going on top. You can also print white only onto colored items.
Q) Is it possible to print onto Glass?
A) Yes, The Helix One system can print onto glass items.
