Prinker POP has been developed to bring a pop of color to makeup enthusiasts worldwide while offering a truly personalized experience. Using real-time makeup simulation with AI-generated models or their own photos, users can preview colors before printing, allowing them to create custom palettes only with colors they want, glitter or matte. The system uses proprietary, cruelty-free cosmetic inks and trays made from recycled paper, which are also customizable.
Consumers today are more conscious than ever about sustainability, and traditional makeup palettes often contribute to excess waste. Prinker POP addresses these concerns in an innovative way.

Finally, its robust printing system enables the precise application of Prinker’s proprietary makeup-grade ink directly onto pre-filled powder palettes made from recycled paper. This system allows users to customize both the makeup colors and the eco-friendly trays, offering a versatile and sustainable beauty solution.
