Pad Printing 101: Back To The Basics

Many of the questions that our experienced field technicians are asked relate directly to the transfer decorating process, such as: “How does the pad pick up the image?” or “How does the ink transfer to the substrate? or “How can a flat artwork conform to a three-dimensional part?” and many others. The best way to answer these questions is to refer to the basic principles of pad printing and then apply these principles in practical ways where they are appropriate.
