Inks
Pad printing ink must contain a high pigment percentage and a faster solvent mixture in order to yield a stable adhesion and constant print quality. No other printing system is so versatile as pad printing for a variety of items and surfaces that can be printed. Here at Pad Print Machinery of Vermont we offer a full range of inks capable of meeting any specific need or print result. The following considerations in sequence are followed in choosing pad printing ink:
- type of material to be printed
- surface characteristics
- brightness degree
- drying requirements
- special requirements concerning mechanical or chemical resistance.
To help with the choice of ink according to your printing requirements, every ink has a specific range of mono- and bi-component with corresponding additives (see Inks & Materials Table). There is a range of basic colors which can be blended with one another. The Technical Service department at Pad Print Machinery of Vermont is at your complete disposal to assist you on the choice of the ink and ink adhesion testing for your application.
