Stamp Pads
November 16th, 2009
Pad printing is the process that is used to transfer an image into a three-dimensional object. With the advent of modern technology in all spheres and consequent with the production of new and finer products, this technology is now being used in many industries, which includes the clothing, electronic devices, sporting equipment and machinery. Earlier printing on objects that did not have flat surfaces were extremely challenging but now with the pad printing revolution, this printing can be done without any complication.
It is generally known that when some printing is to be done on a three dimensional object, it is impossible to use a rigid printing stamp that could be used on a flat surface. This is because the image to be transferred is in a two-dimensional state. The challenge of pad printing lies in transferring a flat image onto a round, bumpy or otherwise inconvenient surface. In order to accomplish this, pad printing uses a three-step process.
At the onset the first task in pad printing is etching a design into a printing plate. This is the design that will be the image that will eventually end up on the three-dimensional object. The printing plate, which is mostly made of steel, is then covered with an ink cup. The ink cup is sealed to keep air out, to prevent the ink from drying prematurely. As the ink is placed on the design, it fills up the etched design area. Once the design is filled with ink, the ink cup moves away, taking all the ink that is not in the etched lines of the design. The ink that remains, now exposed to the air, becomes sticky.
After completion of the first step, the second step to place a transfer pad made of silicone on the printing plate. Mostly transfer pads are of different shape or size in order to accommodate different sizes and shapes of designs. The transfer pad is then pressed on the printing plate, which causes it to pick up the ink, which remains in the required design.
In the end the transfer pad, with the ink in the shape of the desired design is pressed on to the three-dimensional object. As the transfer pad is made out of silicone and is also flexible, it is able to adjust and conform itself to any shape in order to transfer the design onto surfaces of any shape without affecting the design.
