PT-8 Specifications
The straightforward way to put print on tapered drinkware — the tilted dial that makes tapered cups printable comes standard, not as an add-on.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Print stroke | 15″ (380 mm) |
| Squeegee / flood bar | 4″ (100 mm) squeegee holder · 5″ (125 mm) flood bar — sized for cups and koozies, not oversized for jobs you'll never run |
| Turret | Four or eight stations, matched to your substrate — load and unload while the machine prints |
| Tapered products | Tilted dial included on the base machine — presents the cup's surface parallel to the screen for a clean print, lip to base |
| Taper variation (option) | Adjustable tilted dial covers different taper angles across paper, plastic, and foam — without re-tooling the machine |
| Tooling | One set included with the machine · tapered-cup mandrels available in sets of four or eight to match your turret |
| Typical delivery | About four weeks — not the overseas lead times common in this class |
Start Semi-Automatic, Scale When Orders Do
- Tapered cups without the fight — most turret printers are built for straight walls; the PT-8's tilted dial solves taper at the machine level, so the squeegee lays down even ink from lip to base.
- Every cup material — paper, plastic, and foam: see foam cup and plastic cup applications.
- Koozies too — the same class of tooling drives the dedicated Koozie Printer.
- Outgrowing semi-automatic? — the T8-SS is the fully automatic step up: hopper loading, in-line curing, automatic take-off.
