Selecting the Silicone
The different types of silicone determine the hardness of the pad (expressed in
durometer). The higher the number, the harder the pad. The following chart shows
the durometer range for the various types of silicone pads available.

Machine Model & Pad Height
Important Note: When ordering a new pad for the rst time, it is crucial that you
measure the space between your pad mounting and the cliché surface, taking into
account the size base the pad will be mounted on.
Our different pad printing machines are able to accommodate different maximum
height pads See the following chart for examples of maximum pad height which
includes the base. Some dimensions may vary depending on the mounting bracket
or xture.
