Characteristics and Pad Choice

 
The pad is made with special silicone rubber with the following characteristics:
 
     Excellent absorption and detachment of the ink; perfect transposal of the image to be printed
     Tear strength and resistance to solvents and inks; pad long life
     Hardness and form stability; possibility of being used several times
     Easy to be cleaned; quick maintenance
 
The choice of the pad depends on many elements, including the following:
 
     Shape of the printing surface: flat or uneven
     Dimension of the printing surface: printing area
     Type of printing surface: smooth, rough, etc.
     Number of the colors to be printed
 
These elements determine the pad's size, shape and hardness, expressed in durometer. Our pads are available in durometer ranges between 10 and 75.
 
Important:
 
     The size of the pad depends on the printing surface.
     It is necessary to use pads whose dimensions are at least 20% greater than the printing area.
     The data of the pads listed in this catalogue refer to the max. printing possibility.
