Pad printing offers unbeatable flexibility for the decoration of irregular surfaces and small objects is an excellent addition to silk-screen printing or other printing systems and also represents a valid alternative for larger work such as satellite dishes, balls, mineral oil drums, gas bottles, etc. Even digital printing, which is now present in many industrial sectors from posters to t-shirts and CDs and some claim will be the only printing system in the future, will never be a substitute for pad printing when it comes to complex materials and surfaces, as thanks to the wide range of inks and colors it can be used to print onto paper, silicone, metal, glass and, as mentioned previously, even food products, with incredible precision. The current range of pad printing machines extends from low cost, manual bench machines for samples to computerized, servo-assisted work centers, to large machines with UV drying systems for high-quality industrial and technological applications, encompassing a series of intermediate machines with variable characteristics and costs but always of the highest quality. The progress and technological advances made in the field of pad printing machines will enable us to obtain better and better prints on an increasingly wider range of products, more so than for any other printing method and whilst technology continues to evolve we can only imagine where this wonderful printing technique will take us.
