DANVERS | Massachusetts – June 2, 2026 – Inkcups, a global leader in direct-to-object printing technology, has announced the launch of the Helix® High Throw UV Cylindrical Printer, bringing its pioneering High Throw technology into the Helix® family of cylindrical direct-to-object inkjet printers.
Designed to accommodate height variations while decorating cylindrical and conical products, the Helix® High Throw is ideal for challenging and irregular shapes including stepped and tapered vessels, products with posts for attaching handles, and items as varied as footballs, rugby balls, pet bowls, and planters. The printer handles diameter ranges from 2.55 inches (65mm) to 7.1 inches (180mm) and height variations up to 15mm, delivering seamless, full-color, 360° graphics from a single workstation.
Key features include advanced product scanning for precise placement on contours, an automatic programmable tilt and height adjustment system for conical printing, and two ink configurations. The six-color setup (WW+CK+MY+LcLm+VV) adds light cyan and light magenta for smoother gradients, accurate skin tones, and photo-realistic imagery. Spot varnish capability enables special effects and enhanced tactile finishes.
“Until now, there were always some products that traditional cylindrical inkjet printers just couldn’t accommodate,” said Derek LaChance, Digital Product Manager at Inkcups. “The launch of the Helix® High Throw completely changes that, expanding the capabilities of the Helix® range far beyond drinkware.”
Sarah Hall, Program Manager for Cylinder Printers at Inkcups, added: “The ability to decorate larger, uniquely shaped items such as plant pots and footballs opens the door to entirely new application possibilities. We’re looking forward to seeing the creative ways our customers use the Helix® High Throw to expand and diversify their offerings.”
The Helix® High Throw is available in markets worldwide, with European commercial availability planned for later in 2026.
