Inkcups’ return to FESPA 2024 follows a year of growth in Europe and the global launch of two new products, including the compact Helix® ONE benchtop cylindrical printer.

Bobby Grauf, Managing Director, Inkcups Europe, comments: “Last year was a big one for Inkcups, with two major launches – the XJET Switch and the Helix® ONE – and updates to our flagship Helix® cylindrical printers. We always make worthwhile connections and have some great conversations with the European industry at FESPA, and we’re looking forward to catching up with our growing European customer base in Amsterdam to discuss how Inkcups can support their success in 2024. We are also really excited to be demonstrating what our cylindrical printing solutions are capable of as part of the first iteration of the Personalise Make Wear smart factory at FESPA 2024.”
