New pad printing technique "Press IN Pad" *Eliminates color bleeding, misalignment, and sinking.
A patented pad printing technique that can be utilized for printing on a wide range of flexible substrates and cylindrical items! Automatic and unmanned printing is also possible!
Standard pad printing is a method where a silicone pad picks up ink from the etched pattern on the plate and transfers it directly. In this standard pad printing method, there were various issues such as ink bleeding, misalignment, and sinking depending on the printed material. In response, Space Systems has obtained a patent for the "Press IN Pad," a new pad printing technique that solves various challenges such as ink bleeding, misalignment, and sinking. (Patent No. 7563819) 【Features】 - Compatible with standard pad inks - Can be combined with Space Pad "SG Series" for long-term stable automatic and unmanned printing! - Shortens drying time and improves work efficiency by applying press heating (effective for adhesion) 【Target Printed Materials】 - Highly flexible printed materials - When printing over a wide area on cylindrical printed materials - Fabrics The effects obtained are described below. *Please note that when configuring a line, the printing conditions will be individual, so it is essential to consult with our sales and technical group contact. *For details, please download the PDF or contact us directly.

basic information
【Suitable for such printing】 ■ In the case of highly flexible printed materials → Reduces ink flow and bleeding! ■ When printing over a wide area of cylindrical printed materials → It is possible to print in multiple colors over a wider area than originally possible! ■ In the case of fibers → Can suppress color fading (ink sinking) 【Target Market】 ■ Printing on cylindrical to rectangular outer surfaces, spiral printing, etc. ■ General fibers ■ Printing on shapes where color matching becomes difficult in multi-color printing * For printed materials where applying heat and pressing is an issue, condition verification is necessary. * For details, please download the PDF or contact us directly.

Applications/Examples of results
It is possible to accommodate standard pad inks, enabling long-term stable automatic and unmanned printing when combined with the Space Pad SG series. Similar to previous pad printing, it is possible to achieve ink characteristic effects, and by applying heat during pressing, the drying time is shortened, improving work efficiency (effective for adhesion).

At Space Systems Co., Ltd., we offer a variety of options to meet our customers' diverse needs. We have pad printing machines that efficiently and accurately print on all types of materials, as well as multipurpose precision screen printing machines. **Pad Printing** This is a method where ink from an intaglio plate is transferred to a flexible silicone rubber pad, which then transfers the ink onto flat or uneven surfaces. Because the silicone pad is soft, it fits well to some degree of unevenness and is used for printing on curved surfaces, concave surfaces, and convex surfaces such as bottles, cans, and balls.
