Taking an unusual approach to digital container decoration front was Inkcups Now, which featured at its CBC booth the HelixR rotary inkjet digital printer. Because it’s a digital process, prepress and screen making are eliminated. Just import the image, choose the quantity for production, and print directly to the can, bottle, or cup with user-friendly software. It handles straight-walled or tapered cylinders, and speeds are in the range of four parts/min.

Meanwhile, the folks at the Zumbiel Digital booth were showing a variety of basket carrier and carton prototypes that Zumbiel will soon be able to supply to craft brewers and others. Zumbiel is the first in North America to commercialize an exciting new digital print technology from Eastman Kodak called Prosper 6000S. Since 2010 a version of these print stations has been used primarily for commercial printer applications. But now Kodak has its sights fixed on applying Prosper to packaging.
