Pad printing is an offset process. An engraved plate is coated with
ink, then squeegeed, leaving wet ink on the plate in the engraved
pattern. A silicone pad is pressed onto the plate and rises with the
inked image. The inked pad descends onto the component and imprints
the image. Because the pad is pliable, it can form around irregular
surfaces, such as golf balls and cylindrical containers. |
