How to Master Printing with the Ripple Maker

Follow these steps to create the perfect Ripple on any foam-topped beverage:

Step 1: Prepare Your Drink

• Make a latte, cappuccino, flat white, beer, cocktail, or even use cakes or cookies.
• Ensure your cup is no wider than 4.25 inches (110 mm) and that the handle isn’t higher than the cup’s rim. 

Step 2: Create Ideal Foam 

• Achieve a smooth, bubble-free foam to serve as the canvas for your Ripple print.
• Aim for dense foam by creating a slow, even pour for a flat surface.
• Ensure the beverage isn't overly liquidy to avoid imperfections in the print.
• Watch our Beverage tutorials

Step 3: Position & Print

• Place your cup at the center of the tray on the Ripple Maker, aligning it with the circle to avoid off-center prints.
• Select an image using the Ripple Maker’s touchscreen or print a customer’s image from the Ripples Webapp queue.
• Tap to print, and watch as the Ripple Maker automatically adjusts for cup height and prints in under ten seconds.
