PRINTING ON LEATHER
Successfully printing on leather makes it even more valuable if you’re able to personalize it with logos, patterns, art, and text. To print leather, the ink needs to become part of the fabric and texture of the leather itself. There are several ways to print leather. These include inkjet, screen, and pad printing. All three methods are ideal for the production of many high-end fashion and décor leather products. At Boston Industrial Solutions, Inc., we offer ink for pad printing on leather. Additionally, we have screen printing and UV inkjet inks for printing leather.
INKJET, SCREEN, AND PAD PRINTING
Screen printing, pad printing, and inkjet printing are all excellent methods for decorating leather. Both inkjet and screen printing work best for smooth, lightly textured leather substrates. Pad printing, on the other hand, is ideal for printing on 3-dimensional objects, compound angles, and textured leather surfaces.
Compared to hot-stamping on leather and leatherette products, these three printing methods are superior. Hot-stamping uses heat and pressure, which could be high. As a result, hot stamping risks damaging the product surface.
Tampo (pad) printing on leather is a great application for promotional products, fashion, and footwear manufacturers. To print on this product, you need a good printing ink for leather and synthetic leather substrates. The Natron TP Series ink line.

PAD PRINTING INK FOR LEATHER
TP series is a great leather pad printing ink. Because leather products are natural, you need an ink that will blend well with such a substrate, will last long, and will be able to withstand abrasion resistance. The TP pad printing ink is durable and sustainable.
It is important to note that TP Series Ink is a one -of- a- kind pad printing ink. It adheres onto a wide range of substrates including metal, wood, paper, plastics, and leather.
Use the TP series paired with the i-300x cross-linker and TMF pad printing ink thinner for maximum abrasion resistance to print leather-like and leather substrates.
