Pokemon Scarlet & Violet The Indigo Disk has proven to be the big update fans have wanted. It continues to add more hidden treasures and neat features that enhance players’ enjoyment of the game—including the Item Printer.
The Indigo Disk DLC has new features that come with being part of the League Club at Blueberry Academy. Players are introduced to BP which is obtained through BBQs—otherwise known as Blueberry Quests. One of the ways to use BP is with the Item Printer, a 3D printer designed by the Science Club.

How to Get the Item Printer in Pokemon Indigo Disk

The Item printer can be unlocked by donating BP to the Science Club via the computer in the Indigo Disk’s League Club Room. Go to the Support Board and look for the Science Club where they are seeking testers for the Item Printer. They are requesting 200 BP and will need more BP to upgrade it later on, so make sure to have plenty on hand.
Once the 200 BP is donated, a representative of the club will appear with the Item Printer next to the computer. Players can start using it right away.
How to Use the Item Printer in Pokemon Indigo Disk
![Pokemon Indigo Disk screenshot of the Item Printer menu](https://www.gamepur.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Item-Printer-how-use.jpg)
The Item Printer uses BP and TM Materials to create new items that the player can use. A list of the player’s current Pokemon Scarlet & Violet TM Materials appears on the left side, each with a percentage next to them. Players will need to combine materials to reach 100% to successfully make an item. Each percentage next to an item is what one individual item is worth. For example, one Diglett Dirt is worth 12%.
When players have reached 100% or more, they will need 5 BP to pay for one print job. Players have the option to print more than one at a time but it will increase the BP amount. There is a max of 10 print jobs at a time. The more items added to a print job the greater the percentage and BP requirement.
As more items are made using the Item Printer, players will be able to upgrade the machine:
- Print 25 items and donate 200 BP for the first “Great” Item Printer upgrade
- Print 75 items and donate 500 BP for the second “Ultra” Item Printer Upgrade
- Print 175 items and donate 1,000 BP for the third “Master” Item Printer Upgrade
The first two Item Printer upgrades will decrease the required BP cost for each item printed by one for each upgrade and add a special bonus mode. The third upgrade does not reduce BP cost or add any new bonus functions, but it will add the possibility to print Stellar Tera Shards if you’ve captured Terapagos at the end of the game.
What Does the Item Printer Make in Pokemon Indigo Disk?
![Pokemon Indigo Disk screenshot of the Item Printer after finishing printing an item](https://www.gamepur.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Item-Printer-make.jpg)
The Item Printer in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will use TM Materials to make a variety of items such as healing items, evolution items, Tera Shards, XP Candy, stat-boosting items, and even battle items for Pokemon to hold. However, there are no recipes located in the Item Printer Menu. Players have the option to either select different TM Materials or choose to Auto Select. This will randomly pick TM Materials to reach 100%.
The Item Printer seems to work like a Gachapon game where materials are randomly selected and a random item will pop out at the end. There are no particular mixtures of materials to replicate results, but each item that has a chance to drop has its own percentage value attached to it, making some printed items rarer than others.
2X Bonus for the Item Printer
If you upgrade the Item Printer once to the “Great” Item Printer, you’ll have a small 1% chance of activating the 2x Bonus. This bonus will give the player double item drops for their next print job, meaning it’ll print two of each item for that job.
To upgrade the Item Printer and acquire a chance at the 2x Bonus, you’ll need to complete 25 print jobs and donate an extra 200 BP to the Science Club.
Poke Ball Bonus for the Item Printer
If you upgrade the Item Printer twice to the “Ultra” Item Printer, you’ll have a small 1% chance of activating the Poke Ball Bonus. This bonus will give the player the opportunity to print a random selection of Poke Balls for their next print job instead of the usual items. These Poke Balls can be extremely rare, including a chance to print the highly coveted Master Ball.
The Poke Balls that can printed using the Poke Ball Bonus and their drop chance are as follows:
- Master Ball: 0.75% print chance
- Safari Ball: 1.75% print chance
- Fast Ball: 1.75% print chance

To upgrade the Item Printer and acquire a chance at the Poke Ball Bonus, you’ll need to acquire the first upgrade, then complete an additional 75 print jobs and donate an extra 500 BP to the Science Club.
