Pad Printer Machines

Pad printing (also called tampography) is a printing process that can transfer a 2-D image onto a 3-D object (e.g. a ceramic pottery). This is accomplished using an indirect offset (gravure) printing process that involves an image being transferred from the cliché via a silicone pad onto a substrate.Pad printing, also called tampography or tampo printing, is an indirect offset (gravure) printing process where a silicon pad takes a 2-D image from a laser engraved (etched) printing plate (also called cliché) and transfers it to a 3-D object.Pad printing is quick, cost effective and ideal for achieving high quality, small prints. If on the other hand the surface area of your item is quite large and you require a big print (say for example on a t-shirt) then screen printing will make much more sense.
