At Special Abe Printing Company, we actively conduct transfer tests with inks suitable for materials that are said to be difficult to transfer and possess new characteristics. We regularly share the results through newsletters and e-books. This time, we conducted transfer tests using two types of inks suitable for printing on soft materials such as silicone rubber with pad printing! Urehero (Rasukuri) Saito Paint Co., Ltd. How about printing on rubber-based materials other than silicone rubber? - This is a special paint ink specialized in elasticity and flexibility. - Its greatest feature is that it can stretch 250-350% without fading, even on soft materials like rubber and sponge. ME-60 Momentive Performance Materials Japan LLC How about pad printing on silicone-based materials that have been difficult to adhere to? This is a marking ink for silicone rubber. - It is a one-component type with excellent workability. - It cures quickly with heat and adheres to the surface of silicone rubber. - It has little effect on the properties of the underlying silicone rubber.

I will explain the challenges of glass printing. When printing on glass, the key point is the adhesion of the ink. To achieve strong ink adhesion, methods such as performing a pre-treatment before printing and curing the ink at high temperatures after printing can be employed. There are various methods for printing on glass, and it is necessary to determine the printing method based on factors such as the material and shape of the item to be printed, the desired design, and the printing lot. Our company owns a test printing machine, allowing for various printing tests. Additionally, we can introduce suitable printing vendors for your projects. [To achieve strong ink adhesion] - Perform pre-treatments such as plasma treatment, corona discharge treatment, or ITO treatment before printing. - Use two-component inks (inks that require mixing with a hardener). - Cure the ink at high temperatures after printing (the ink melts at a lower temperature than glass and adheres to it). *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

I will explain the challenges of printing on recessed areas. The methods for printing on recessed areas are very limited, with pad printing being the most representative method. If the recessed area has a gentle R shape, there are a few other printing methods that may be possible, but if there are obvious steps or depths, printing by methods other than pad printing is not feasible. The pad printing developed by our company can print on cylindrical recesses, even on shapes that cannot be accommodated by silk screen printing. 【Printing Method】 ■ Pad Printing *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

I will explain the challenges of printing while avoiding protrusions. When there are protrusions on the printed part of the item (work), silk screen printing cannot be performed even if the printing surface is flat. This is because the protruding parts can damage the printing plate. When printing while avoiding protrusions, using specially shaped silicone pads can help mitigate risks related to print quality and yield, allowing for consistently high quality. Our company has a test printing machine and can conduct various printing tests. Additionally, we can introduce you to printing companies that are suitable for your project. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.*

We received advice from the cup manufacturer that "printing the logo on the cup is common, so it would be interesting to do it on the handle," and we used pad printing technology to print a design on the cup's handle. The material of the cup is "recycled plastic (recycled PET resin)." It is well-suited for small quantity printing, making this type of printing easier. As a result, the top two diamond patterns are distorted, and due to the curved shape of the work, there is some stretching in the design. This time, we intentionally did not correct the stretching so you could see it, but it can be printed beautifully if properly corrected.

We empathize with the thoughts and activities of Habiris Japan, which develops and rents sports prosthetics and hand tools, and we have decided to cooperate with them through printing. Since rubber is more difficult to adhere to compared to resin, we printed on areas less prone to friction during use, and because there are products with protrusions at the center, we selected several materials and conducted prototypes. As a result, we were able to achieve beautiful printing, and the teacher in charge was very pleased with it. We would be happy if the children think it looks "cool" or "cute" because of the printing. [Case Overview] ■Printed Item: Rubber Sports Prosthetic Hand Tool ■Printing Method: Pad Printing ■Result: Beautiful printing was achieved, and the teacher in charge was very pleased. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Printing on a typical donut shape is generally limited to "printing on the top surface" when using pad printing. However, by innovating the materials (such as those serving the role of a stamp), we attempted to print "around the entire circumference." In the first process, we printed half, and in the second process, we printed the remaining half. We were able to print a full 360 degrees around the ring shape in two processes. As seen in the sample, if the pattern is such that the seams are hard to notice and the stretch is not a concern, it can be effective. 【Case Overview】 ■Printed Item: Wooden Ring ■Printing Method: Pad Printing ■Result: We were able to print a full 360 degrees around the ring shape in two processes. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Last time, we did 360-degree pad printing on glass beads in two processes, but since they are transparent, we received feedback that they are hard to see. Since we have successfully achieved full surface printing, I would like to show you clear photos. Additionally, I wondered if there would be differences with materials other than glass, so I printed on two different types of materials. There are limitations based on size and design, but if you are interested, please feel free to contact us. 【Case Overview】 ■ Stainless Steel - Like glass, metal cannot be pressed too hard because the pad slips and the design may smudge. - There are some slight pinholes, but the design stands out beautifully against the unique luster of the metal. ■ Wood - With wood, the surface has irregularities, allowing for stronger pressing of the pad. - The design comes out beautifully. *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

Last time, we challenged printing 180° on a glass ball with a diameter of 40mm using pad printing, but the result was a frustrating "the limit is 160°." The printing team continued to adjust the plate, silicone pad, jig, and printing conditions from the previous test. As a result, we were finally able to print up to 180°. We have printed the same mandala from two directions, achieving a full 360-degree print.

Here is an example of printing on a glass ball (diameter 40mm). This time, we challenged ourselves to print up to 180°. Since decoration is not possible with conventional methods, we adjusted the materials accordingly. As a result, we were able to print up to about 160°. Materials that are hard and glossy like glass tend to have poor adhesion, so it seems that we still have a long way to go to achieve clean printing. We are currently continuing to make improvements, so please stay tuned. 【Case Overview】 ■Printed Item: Glass Ball (Diameter 40mm) ■Content: Challenge to 180° ■Result: Able to print up to about 160° *For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.

Instead of printing on boiled eggs, which are typically associated with Easter eggs, we will introduce a case of printing on more challenging raw eggs. The printing method used is pad printing. It became possible because pad printing transfers ink from the plate using a soft silicone pad. Since eggs can crack under strong impact, we set conditions to minimize pressure while ensuring a clean print, allowing us to print beautifully without any cracks or breaks. 【Case Overview】 ■ Printed Item: Raw egg shell ■ Content: Pad printing - Conditions were set to minimize pressure while achieving a clean print. * The ink used is not edible ink. * For more details, please refer to the related link page or feel free to contact us.
