Steel printing plates come in various thicknesses

Steel printing plates come in various thicknesses depending on the scope of your project. At Milford Astor, we can make and supply steel printing plates to your specification. The thickness of the plate you select largely depends on the type of machine you have, whether you need etching on one or both sides, and the length of your production run. We supply the following thicknesses:

0.25mm Thin Steel Printing Plates – single sided etch compatible with ink cup machines only.
0.5mm Thin Steel Printing Plates – single sided etch, compatible with open ink tray and some sealed ink cup machines, suitable for medium to long production runs.
10mm Thick Steel Printing Plates – single sided or two sided etch, compatible with open ink tray and ink cup machines, suitable for long production runs.
10mm Chrome Thick Printing Plates – compatible for both ink tray and ink cup machines, built for extremely long production runs.
No matter how big or small, we have a solution that is right for your next printing project. Read more information on steel printing plates on page 27 here: https://astor.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Milford-Astor-PAD-PRINTING-CATALOGUE.pdf

At Milford Astor, we’re passionate about providi

At Milford Astor, we’re passionate about providing you with top technical support to give you the best results for your next project. To achieve optimal print quality, special pad and screen printing inks have been specifically developed to display high pigmentation as such a small quantity is transferred during the printing process. Additives such as thinner and hardener ensure the inks are well-processed. The ink should preferably possess the following characteristics:

Long stability (pot-life) in the ink tray/cup
Safe to work with
Environmentally friendly
Easy to clean
Adhesion on all parts and materials without pre or post-treatment if possible
Preferably one ink type for all materials to be printed
It is important to remember that there is no one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to ink mixing. Ink requirements largely depend on the substrate and application type (e.g. marking vs. decorative print). No matter how big or small, we have a solution that is right for your next pad or screen printing project. Read more information on inks and additives on page 12 here: https://astor.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/Milford-Astor-PAD-PRINTING-CATALOGUE.pdf

Milford Astor stocks a large range of pad printing

Milford Astor stocks a large range of pad printing pads to suit almost every pad printing requirement.

There are numerous pad shapes available, most are four distinct shapes: round, square, rectangular and chisel point.
Shape is an important consideration in selecting a specific pad: the aim is to achieve a rolling action when the ink is picked up from the cliché or plate and then deposited on the substrate.

Pad life ranges from 10,000 cycles to 100,000 cycles depending on the application and the storage and maintenance.

We have several locations in Australia and New Zealand to enable faster delivery times.

Who Are We? Milford Astor was established in 1954

Who Are We?

Milford Astor was established in 1954 as a subsidiary of English company, Milford Astor Ltd.

In 1963, a gentleman by the name of Victor Newman who designed, built, and sold hot stamping machines, saw an opportunity to grow his business with hot stamping foil. Thus, Milford Astor Australia Pty Ltd was born.

As of 2019, Milford Astor was purchased by Aldus Tronics, now known as Aldus.

Today, Milford Astor is split into two businesses:
- Foilmakers Australia, which is Australia’s leading independent manufacturer of pigmented and metallic Hot Stamping Foil and Thermal Transfer Ribbon.

- Milford Astor Printing Systems (MAPS), the leader in the supply of Pad Printing equipment and supplies, hot stamping machines, artwork, dies, cliches and screen printing machines as well as a wide range of associated printing consumables.

Trust nothing less than the experts in the business. Contact us today on 1300 018 330 for all your printing needs.
