Choosing a Pad
Successful pad printing requires printers to select the correct transfer pad. Decorators have to consider the size, shape, and hardness of silicone pad.
Pad Size
The transfer pad has to fit your machine. The pad printer has to be able to compress the silicone pad. If the silicone pad interferes with the inking cup or causes silicone ink to build up along the edges of the printing plate, then the pad is not the right size.
The chosen pad must have enough mass to prevent image distortion. This is because the pads body is the foundation for the print surface.
Pad Hardness – Durometer
Hardness is also called Durometer. Durometer is a material’s resistance to indentation. Durometer also refers to the measurement as well as the measuring instrument itself.
Pad hardness range from soft 40 durometer pads to hard 80 durometer. The soft pads are for specialty applications, while the hard pads are for precision printing. We inspect and measure each pad prior to shipment. You can be sure that you are getting the right hardness with every pad.
