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, i.e.:
1 Shape of the printing surface: flat or uneven (see available forms).
2 Dimension of the printing surface: printing area
3 Type of printing surface: smooth, rough, etc.
4 Number of the colours to be printed.
These elements determine the pad hardness expressed in Shore (see Tab.A and Tab.B) and its shape. Important:
For rough surfaces it is recommended to use soft pads of
2-4 Shore hardness (green-yellow).
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.
