Pad printing's biggest advantages are the ability to print on irregular surfaces, such as golf balls, lighters, pens, bottles, toys,etc, on small areas image printing.  It can also print on flat surfaces.

Pad printing is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object. This is accomplished using an indirect offset printing process that involves an image being transferred from the printing plate (cliché) via a silicone pad onto a substrate (surface to be printed). Pad printing is used for printing on otherwise impossible products in many industries including medical, automotive, promotional, apparel, electronics, appliances, sports equipment and toys.

1. Good for the environment, no need chemicals.
2.Make clich making process easier to operate.
3.Save money for you, no need of chemicals and no steel coating machine.

This package uses: Photopolymer Plates

The plate material is UV photosensitive and when exposed to an ultraviolet light through a high contrast negative, the U.V. cross links the polymers and hardens the image.

The unexposed portion of the negative is washed off in plain water, dried and post exposed. the plate is ready for the press in less than thirty minutes.

1.Contact with Positive film

Remove cover film slowly and place positive film onto undeveloped plate.Keep the positive film contact with the plate tightly.
Use positive film having optical density of not less than 3.0.

2.Exposure

Put the plate covered with film on the glass of the UV exposing machine. Expose plate, through positive film, to UV light having 360 nm wave lengths for 1-2 minutes.

3.Wash-out

Remove positive film.
Wash-out exposed plate with water, at 15-25 degree for 1-2 minutes. You can use a sponge roll or very soft brush. If wash out unit is not available, you can wash it out with running tap water.
