There are many ways to print patterns on objects, usually used: color printing process, rotary printing process, heat transfer process, hot stamping process, pad printing process, roller printing process, UV printing process, inkjet printing process, screen printing process, laser engraving process, laser cutting process. Each method of Hefei pad printing machine can make a pattern that everyone likes or needs on the object, and the production of each pattern will be very different according to the equipment used in each method and related consumables, and the price of the equipment used in each process is very different. The requirements for the place of use also vary.

For example, in the UV printing process, you only need to input the corresponding pattern into the computer, whether it is multi-color or monochrome, the ink is printed on the surface of the product by mixing colors on the printhead of UV printing, and it can be dried by irradiation of the UV lamp. This process is relatively simple, easy to operate, does not require high technical content for users, is easy to operate, and is very suitable for people with simple entrepreneurs' ideas. For example, the color printing process, for the temperature of the environment has certain requirements, the ambient temperature needs to be controlled between 23-25 degrees Celsius, dust-free workshop, and for the technical personnel who operate the equipment have high requirements, the color printing process is generally to print monochrome fonts, books, newspapers, test papers used by students, etc., this process not only has high requirements for the environment, operating technicians, ink, color, the price of the equipment is also very high.

Pad printing methods are divided into: manual printing, automatic printing, automatic printing, according to the output of their own products to evaluate the equipment required for which way:

Manual printing: mainly suitable for small amount of sample making, small batch printing, experimental research, etc

Automatic printing: the use of automatic printing method is currently used in the market accounted for a high proportion, the basic operation is to make the pattern in advance through etching on the surface of the steel plate or steel sheet, the depth is normal range: 0.023-0.028mm range, according to the requirements of different products to make corresponding adjustments. Choose the pad printing head suitable for printing workpieces, choose the pad printing head based on the size of the pattern, greater than the pattern 10mm as well, according to the flatness and arc of the product to choose the suitable printing head. Then choose the ink suitable for printing products, there are many kinds of ink, the adhesion performance of the product surface is different, it is recommended that the ink and product adhesion test need to be carried out when choosing ink, and the ink is purchased after the test is passed.

When the above method is completed, the ink, steel plate, glue head, positioning fixture are respectively installed on the machine for transfer, and this equipment is carried out in a more common way.
