Conductive pattern formation technology using pad printing method

The formation of conductive patterns on three-dimensional curved surfaces, which was previously difficult, has become possible using the pad printing method.

We would like to introduce our "Conductive Pattern Formation Technology using Pad Printing Method." The pad printing method is a type of gravure offset printing. A printing pattern is formed in a recessed shape through etching on a flat steel plate, creating a printing plate. After applying paste (ink) over the entire plate surface, the unnecessary paste (ink) in the non-image areas is scraped off with a doctor blade. The paste is then transferred to a flexible rubber, such as silicone, called a pad, which is used to transfer the pattern onto the substrate. Since the paste (ink) is transferred using a flexible pad, printing is possible not only on flat surfaces but also on three-dimensional shapes with unevenness and contours. [Features] - A printing pattern is formed in a recessed shape through etching on a flat steel plate, creating a printing plate. - Paste (ink) is transferred using a flexible pad. - Printing is possible on three-dimensional shapes with unevenness and contours, not just flat surfaces. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
