• Printing/Publishing

Pad printing (tampo printing) is a method where ink is placed into a flat plate (steel plate) that has a pattern etched into it, and a curved silicone rubber transfer pad is pressed down from above to transfer the ink onto the item being printed. As a printing technique, a printing negative created from artwork or text (pattern) is exposed to a metal plate coated with a light-sensitive resin called photoresist, which is then etched to create the recess. By pressing the silicone rubber transfer pad, which is non-affinitive to the ink, the ink adheres to it. Typically, pad printing uses ink specifically designed for pad printing, but screen printing ink can also be used as a substitute. For more details, please contact us.

• Printing/Publishing

A type of screen printing that effectively utilizes the screen's mesh Kawashima Meiban Co.'s screen printing 【Features】 ○ Instead of applying ink to the plate for printing, this method involves making holes in the plate and rubbing ink through them. ○ Ink is placed on a silk screen that has been hardened with emulsion in areas not needed for printing, and the ink is transferred by rubbing with a squeegee. ○ When printing in multiple colors, it is possible to print the desired design by layering plates of different colors multiple times. ○ While silk printing excels at printing on flat surfaces, it can also be adapted for printing on curved surfaces by creating special fixtures. ● For more details, please contact us.

The printing plate and materials do not come into direct contact with the actual printed image! Kawashima Nameplate Co.'s Offset Printing 【Features】 ○ The ink applied to the plate is first transferred to an intermediate transfer medium, such as a rubber blanket (offset), and then printed onto the substrate. ○ Most offset printing is done using flat plates. ● For more details, please contact us.

• Surface treatment contract service

Improvement of aluminum's corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and decoration! Kawashima Nameplate Co.'s "Anodized Printing" 【Features】 ○ By using dilute sulfuric acid to electrolyze aluminum as an anode, the surface of aluminum is electrochemically oxidized to produce an aluminum oxide (Al2O3) oxide film. ○ Generally, a honeycomb-like structure is created with dissolved pores (called porous), forming a porous film ranging from several micrometers to several tens of micrometers, which is then hydrated by boiling water, nickel acetate, or high-temperature aqueous solutions, and pressurized steam to seal the pores and enhance corrosion resistance, resulting in a marketable product. ○ Utilizing the characteristics of the porous film, organic dyes and other substances can be adsorbed into the pores for coloring. ● For more details, please contact us.
