Danvers, MA -- (SBWire) -- 12/15/2011 --Inkcups Now Corp. announces the eco-friendly ink cup for pad printing – the ToughCup universal ink cup with new coating designed to repel inks and solvents. The new ToughCup coating allows cleaning the cup with a minimal amount of thinner or just a dry towel – even on occasions when ink mixed with hardener is left in the cup overnight. The new ToughCup coating allows use of the same ink cup for years, easily reclaiming it even from seemingly hopeless situations. The ToughCup dramatically shortens cleaning time, reduces the use of chemicals and amount of waste.

The ToughCup is the true “green” ink cup: there are no plastic inserts to through away when changing ink. Unlike some competitive designs, the ToughCup’s ceramic ring does not need to be removed when changing over to another color. Because of that, the ring will last for up to 1,000,000 impressions per each side.

As all the previous versions, the ToughCup ink cup has a patented universal VersaCup design, suitable for virtually any pad printing machine on the market. The VersaCup (patent 2003) is one of the breakthrough products invented by Inkcups Now engineers. The ink cups contribute to efficiency and productivity of pad printing process by its universal adaptability. One ink cup can now be used on different types and brands of pad printing machine. The VersaCup reduces ink cup inventory, simplifies changeovers, improves productivity and diminishes operating costs.
