Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s Indigo Disk DLChas brought back afan-favorite mechanic fromSword and Shieldknown as the Item Printer, which can be a bit tricky to use.
Players who have playedPokemon Sword and Shieldmight be well aware of the Cram-o-Matic, the Cramorant-shaped machine that can help in getting some rare items. The Item Printer in theIndigo Disk DLCis quite similar and is basically an ultra-efficient trash can as it takes all the waste players have and converts it into something useful. The only difference between the Item Printer and Cram-o-Matic is that players can try to get specific items usingrecipes in the Cram-o-Matic, but theItem Printer is totally random.

In order to get the Item Printer, players will need to first complete the introductory missions in theIndigo Disk DLC. Precisely, it is crucial that the base game and Teal Mask DLC have been completed; otherwise, players will not be able to progress past the mission where they have tofind an Alolan form Pokemon.
Right after completing that quest, they will unlock Blueberry Quests, after which Carmine will give them a call.

How to Use Item Printer in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
The Item Printer can be found rightnear the PC in the League Club Roomafter unlocking it using the Science Club. In order to use the Item Printer, players need to givePokemon materials to it along with BP, and it will print an all-new item for players. Every time players print something, they get one item per job, so it is crucial to not bulk up on items at once.

This upgrade unlocks Double Change, which will allow players to get a chance to get double items in their print jobs. The next upgrade unlocks after printing 80 items and costs 500 BP.
