What is Pad Printing Machine?
Pad printing Machine
A pad printing machine is a kind of printing equipment, mainly used for printing patterns, characters and other information on the surfaces of flat or curved objects.
Working Principle
The working principle of a pad printing machine is to transfer ink through the elastic deformation of the pad (usually made of silicone material). First, the engraved intaglio plate (steel plate) with patterns or characters is coated with ink, and a squeegee is used to scrape off the excess ink, leaving only the ink in the intaglio pattern part. Then, the pad is pressed down to contact the intaglio plate. Due to the softness of the pad, it can absorb the ink in the intaglio pattern. Finally, the pad moves above the object to be printed and is pressed down to transfer the ink to the object's surface, thus completing the printing process.
Advantages
High Adaptability: It can print on the surfaces of various - shaped objects, whether it is a flat, curved or irregular - shaped object.
High - Precision Printing: Through precise control and high - quality pads, fine patterns and characters can be printed.
Rich Colors: Multiple - colored inks can be used for color - over - printing to achieve colorful printing effects.
