If you’re using a new pad for the first time, it

If you’re using a new pad for the first time, it is important to activate it to achieve high print quality and consistency. Print issues with a new pad can be caused by a build-up of excess silicone oil near the printing surface, which can lead to an uneven transfer of ink.

Wiping the surface of the pads with a standard thinner used with ink is a common way of activating the pad and helps to clear away some of that silicone from the surface. However, this method should be done carefully to avoid damage to the pad. To find out more about alternate ways to activate your pads and what to look out for, view page 10 of our catalogue: https://astor.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Milford-Astor-PAD-PRINTING-CATALOGUE.pdf

Combining the versatility of pad printing and the prestige of foil decoration, the Kent PFD (Pad Foil Decorator) opens up a wide range of possibilities to add value and market appeal to items where once it was not possible or economical. The Kent PFD enables you to add foil embellishment to 3-D and irregular surfaces without the high costs associated with hot foil stamping such as curved or 3-D dies.
