Pad Printing
Pad printing is an indirect offset printing process in which the image is formed by ink that is transferred from the engraved metal plate via a silicone pad onto the product.
Transfer
By means of pigment transfer ink, the necessary colors are applied to a sheet of paper in mirror image in screen printing. These sheets are then placed on a polyester fabric and baked together, under pressure (about 4 bar) and 220 degrees, for a time of 45 seconds. The heat releases the ink from the paper and attaches itself to the fabric. This will not lose any of its color fastness after washing. For example, the back, front and sleeves are printed and then made up together into one whole.
