Pad Printing Machines

Determining what you need

In choosing a pad printing machine, one of the rst questions we’ll ask is:

What are you going to use it for?

If you’re looking for light duty, you might be thinking compact. However, if

brute strength and power in an industrial environment is your end use,

you’ll need a machine to suit your needs.

Is Pad Printing right for me?

u Do you print on uneven surfaces?

u Are you in manufacturing, production, decorating, marking, or labeling?

u Are your printing labor costs outstripping your prots?

u Is precision important in your printing job?

u Do you need a more efcient way to print parts?

u Have you ever thought about adding printing to your in-line

manufacturing?

Some basic questions:

If Pad Printing is what you need, call and we’ll ask a few questions:

u What is the print area, or image dimensions you want to print?

u How many colors of ink will you be using in a single image? or

How many colors will you be printing together?

u What is the estimated production rate per day (or per shift)?

u What is the maximum part size you will be printing?

u Can you send details on the parts you will be printing?

(drawings or pictures)

u What materials/substrate are the parts made of?

(wood, metal, glass, etc. if plastic: what type of plastic,

polypropylene, PVC etc.)

u What will be the average job sizes?

(i.e. how many parts would you run of a single image before changing

to another image? How many of a specic item or part would you print

before changing to a different item?)

u Do you need automatic loading and unloading?

u What type of environment will the printed product endure?

u Will you want to make your own clichés or have us do it for you?
